“weekend away”

Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

I have stayed here a few times previously. Very nice since the revamp - love the new look. We had a harbour view room - bright airy and soothing colours and a great comfy bed. Breakfast was not great though. I had the Eggs Benedict and had to leave it as all I could taste was a really strong vinegar... More

“Great renovation of nice hotel”

Reviewed May 15, 2013

We stayed three days from the 6th to the 9th of May 2013. The hotel is really well renovated, with nice walk in showers, good beds with great mattresses, in the rooms. All up the hotel is a bit of a gem, central in Kinsale, free parking, nice bar and good breakfast. Staff was really nice and helpful, so I... More

“Great value for money and beautifully refurbished”

Reviewed May 13, 2013

How nice to come back to Actons to inspect the refurbishment and discover that all the potential of its wonderful location is now being fulfilled. Teething problems? A few, but nothing to disturb the impression that they've got it right and are working hard to make things work. Lovely staff; great views of the harbour; great value for money

Reviewed April 25, 2013

Nice to see the old place open again in it's wonderful location overlooking Kinsale Harbour and town. The recent refurb has improved the hotel greatly and while I would prefer an old fashioned bar - that's just a personal choice. The bedrooms have been updated and while on the small side the beds are of high quality and one must... More

“Recent weekend stay after many years away.”

We stayed in Actons end of March shortly after the hotel reopened for business after a refurbishment. It was a number of years since we stayed there when the hotel was very "tired" and run down. Our reaction to the revamp was "very impressed". The hotel has been renovated from top to bottom and is done very well. The only... More

“Good re-vamp”

Reviewed April 24, 2013

The work on the hotel has improved the rooms greatly. It's in the best location opposite the harbour and the views are very relaxing. The food has gone from being one of the best in Kinsale(a few years ago) to just average and unexciting. The starters(3) on the "table d'hote" menu were all salad based. Has soup gone out of... More
