We were there for 2 nights with friends. The place was not full. When we arrived the welcome was very offhand from a rather untrained girl but this was the only problem area (she was either shy or untrained). Our double room had a huge and very comfortable double bed and 2 large windows overlooking the main street (corner room).... more

We stayed at this lovely guest house for 2 nights last week. The Old Bank House is located on the busiest intersection in Kinsale. When we arrived, I was taken to a room in the front of the hotel and, expecting a noisy room, asked for a room in the back of the hotel. We were graciously taken to a... more

We spent a Friday night and Saturday in Kinsale. Obviously it is a town where many young people come for the weekend. The hotel was very busy and loud with virtually no service. Our room (4th floor front) was adequate and clean and the breakfast was good. The heat had not been turned on and the room was quite cold... more

We stayed at this B&B for one night only on a recent trip to Ireland. We arrived in Kinsale late in the day. My wife and I were accompanied by our son, daughter-in-law and grandson. We hadn't booked ahead so took a punt on The Old Bank House which was a little more expensive than the preferred budget. It is... more

We had two nights in The Old Bank House and can safely say it was a genuine pleasure to stay in this beautiful guest house in Kinsale. The location is unbeatable, strolling distance to everything in the town and just a few minutes from the Scilly Walk. A previous reviewer mentioned the small rooms but that was not our experience... more

This is the very best place to stay in Kinsale. The service is second to none anywhere. The breakfast is wonderful and made to order. Everything is clean & it is quiet there. Many of the night spots are just a few doors away, but you avoid all the related noise. Four of us stayed there and we felt very... more

The hotel is conveniently located right in the centre of town. It doesn't have parking but that wasn't really an issue. The bedrooms are unbelievably small. We had booked a superior room which turned out to be too small to fit our luggage in let alone a portacot. Thankfully the manager was kind enough to put us into a slightly... more

We drove into Kinsale yesterday just to check it out.....we came the day before and there were no rooms to be had for Saturday night so we had to backtrack. On Sunday, however, it seemed that people were clearing out--weddings were over and sporting events were finished. After looking at 3 guesthouses, both 3 and 4 star, we decided upon... more

Imagine living in Georgian Times while staying in the Old Bank House, Kinsale. It's absolutely georgeous, with the most beautiful period pieces of furniture and soft furnishings. My husband and I spent only two nights in the most divine bedroom decorated with every attention to detail. I only wish we had been staying two weeks! Treat yourself to a visit... more

My partner and I were lucky enough to find a vacancy a fortnight ago without having made a booking. We were greeted warmly at the door by Marguerite the General Manager who offered the best room. Being on the top floor we enjoyed a water view and no noise from the traffic below. Staying here was just a delight. The... more
