We visited Kinsale for the music festival weekend, and were lucky enough to get a room at Blindgate House. It turned out to be a great place to stay, and in a good location. Only a five minute walk downhill and you are in the centre of Kinsale. It may take you a few more minutes to walk back up,... More

The rooms are modern comfortable and sufficient facilities that you can use as a base while spending long days in the town enjoying the music and a... More

The room was quite comfortable, clean, and modern. Not 'luxury' as I had expected from reading other reviews though. Breakfast was great. It is a 10 minute walk from the old town down a very steep hill, which is ok going down, but tiring on the way back. Nice large parking area. Wi-fi was available, but the signal was too... More

Well. We had reservations with Friar's Lodge. They moved us to one of their houses up the street. Unfortunately, the house only had full bathrooms on the upper floors and my mother-in-law was not happy about climbing all those stairs each time. The hosts were great - they called around to see if other b&bs had vacancies that would serve... More

Given the other reviews, I was suspecting to be blown away. I was not. I was OK, but did not meet my expectations. When I arrived, the person who shoed us our room was not at all friendly. The rooms were noisy. The breakfast was fine, but not spectacular.

Alright, I'm partial to this amazing harbor town, but let's review Blindgate House. After a bit of a snafu with our reservation, which owner Maeve quickly took responsibility for (I still think it was a travel agent error), with one opening left she gave us a room and a discount to make up for any inconvenience...now that's how to run...

We stayed in Blindgate House and really enjoyed our stay there. It was modern, beautifully decorated and finished to a high standard. The room was very nice with lovely crisp white bed linen. The B&B is located in a quiet area so I had had a great restful sleep uninterrupted by any street noise. One of my favourite parts of... More

Our visit to the Blindgate House and Kinsale was fabulous. Maeve was a wonderful host and attended to all of our needs. This is remarkable in that there appeared to be a 'full house' during our stay. The Blindgate House is conveniently situated near the town of Kinsale and a very short walk. As well documented, in reviews here, the... More
