Clean rooms, comfortable beds great breakfast. Walkable to all over downtown Kinsale and trails to views of Forts. Construction currently going on that’s a bit loud early morning and throughout the day. Doors closing are loud. Views of the bay very pretty. Overall the stay was okay.
One of the biggest rooms we stayed in while in Ireland. Beautiful location on the pier with an ocean view room. The breakfast was delicious in the morning you receive a menu to order your hot breakfast along with the continental. Walkable into Kinsale and a great spot to stay.
Great location on the harbor. I had a nine passenger van that I had to park and it was easily doable in their parking lot. The room that we stayed in overlooked the harbor but it also overlooked the parking lot. Great restaurants, and shopping in this quaint little town. If you are playing Old Head golf course and are not staying on property, this is about the closest hotel you can get.
Lovely hotel in Kinsale. We had a room with an ocean view and it was beautiful. The breakfast is also great and the food is from the local area, which is a huge plus from me. Would stay again if we return!
