A small long haired man welcomed me to Sovereign House and introduced himself as James McKeown. He helped me with my luggage to my room. The night I stayed there I found the room to be cold with no adequate heating. The house seemed to be in need of repair. The following morning the running water was cold so could... More

Stayed here over a quiet late April weekend with a group of friends. James was the consumate host, entertaining us with stories, his interesting theories on the laws of physics and of course goblets of wine. We even managed to play some chess and enjoyed banging out a few tunes on the piano with our members late into the night.... More

We were greeted by a small, serious looking middle aged man with a piercing cold stare who spoke with an English accent who introduced himself as James. He showed us to our room and was only to happy to carry my wifes luggage to our room. From the moment we checked in it was like somthing out of the Adams... More

We came in the off-season and James McKeown gave us a night to remember. He took us on a tour of all the rooms, gloriously decorated with brilliant colors and antiques. The traditional Irish Breakfast the next morning was fantastic. It was so nicely presented we took a picture! A close walk to the harbor where there is an abundance... More

I had been to Kinsale in 2005 and loved the town. Anxious to share it with my two nieces (ages 20 & 24) and I made an online reservation to stay at Sovereign House. We drove around & around, but could not find it. Finally, we parked & ventured out on foot. We found a row of houses with most... More

Looking at the website (sovereignhouse) would lead one to believe it's the best B&B deal in town. Breakfast was one of the best of any of the B&Bs we visited throughout Ireland, but that's the only really good thing we have to say. James was out when we arrived, and only by chance was another guest able to give us... More

Stayed in the off season and had the place to ourselves ..literally, as the owner was not to be found. The rooms were very big, the bathrooms OK. The decor is ecclectic but the place needed a good cleaning and dusting. The building is a marvelous Queen Anne and would be a great stay if managed properly. More
