Been here a few times now. The rooms are getting a bit tired, but the staff, food, welcome and atmosphere really are exceptional. Will no doubt be back again soon. No point in going anywhere else as it is the best hotel in Kinsale.

This was a last minute booking - we were given a double room overlooking the harbour - two windows and a really lovely view. The room was a good size, nice & warm with a good sized comfortable bed with crisp white bed linen. However the decor was tired and the furniture was shabby - it was a bit disappointing... More

Myself and my husband stayed here for two nights. On check in we didn't find the receptionist at all friendly, she didn't say we were welcome, enjoy your stay or anything along those lines. Our room was very clean with a beautiful view out onto the harbour, with a very large bed. The bathroom was also very clean but quite... More

Staff was very friendly and our room was wonderful overlooking the beautiful harbor. Not huge but very comfortable and very clean. Walking distance to everything in Kinsale. Breakfast was very good and served in a cozy room also overlooking the harbor.

Location of hotel is excellent, quick walk into town along the docks. However, this hotel is advertised as a 4-Star hotel. How, exactly? Our double bed was two single beds pushed together. The walls are paper thin, so when cleaning begins for instance you'll hear them working their way up through the rooms. The shower is in the bathtub, and... More
