Westlodge Hotel is set up for groups who want to keep moving while they are away. The leisure centre is the core of it: a fully equipped gym, a swimming pool, fitness classes and a sauna, steam room and jacuzzi for afterwards. Outside there are tennis courts, a pitch & putt course and 26 acres of landscaped grounds to walk in, including a Nature Through the Senses Trail and a duck pond.
For organisers, the practical side is covered. There is free coach parking, secure bike storage, somewhere to leave equipment, group dining menus, packed lunches for days out, and meeting and function rooms. The team will build a package around what your group actually wants to do rather than fitting you into a set schedule.
Walking and cycling groups use it as a base for the peninsulas. The Sheep's Head Peninsula and the Beara Peninsula are both close, as are Bantry House, Glengarriff Nature Reserve and Garnish Island. The Wild Atlantic Way is on the doorstep, so coastal routes start almost immediately.
Wellness groups have the Soundscape Floating Meditation experience on site, alongside the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Fitness groups have the gym and pool plus the grounds for outdoor sessions. Running clubs get quiet West Cork roads and trails.
The hotel also takes active retirement groups, and the mix of level grounds, indoor facilities and short drives to scenic spots suits that. Every group is different, so the itinerary is put together with you: the hotel asks about your interests, activity level and requirements, then quotes a package covering accommodation, dining, leisure access and local activity recommendations.
