Fabulous location
"Great hotel in a lovely rural location with great views. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Food was great also and we were given a complimentary check out of 12 noon instead of 11am. Lovely waterfall feature in grounds. Close proximity by car to Kinsale. Would recommend."

Great interesting visit to Old Head. Learned so much about Irish history and the Lusitania. Super tour with Eddie! Also Cobh is awesome. We did the Titanic Experience and loved it! Highly recommend a visit to Kinsale.
