Thank you Michael for helping to make our final night in Ireland - in lovely Kinsale - so wonderful! Desmond House is beautiful - full of history, antiques, good conversation and great breakfasts (the best hollandaise I've ever had.) Our room was large and comfortable, with a king bed and very nice bathroom. We only wish we had stayed for... more

Desmond House is as good as it gets when it comes to B&Bs. Michael, the proprietor, is warm and welcoming. He can help point you in the right direction, vacation-wise, and he's an all-around fun guy to chat with over your traditional Irish breakfast. The rooms are all clean, comfortable and well-appointed -- everything from the television to the whirlpool... more

Michael was always ready to help in every way he could - a wonderful host! Our room did not have a great view, but was cozy and charming and the bathroom... more

We were 4 couples in Kinsale for golf and tourism, so we took all 4 rooms at the Desmond House. The rooms were in excellent condition, with modern private baths. Michael, the proprietor, could not have been a better resource for the group. He helped us understand how/why Ireland has evolved the way it has, gave us a sense of... more
