We're just back from a three night break at the Carlton. Booked the hotel over the net and got an excellent deal for three nights with dinner on one evening. Hotel a little difficult to find and further from town than we expected but the shuttle bus service was a nice surprise. Very helpful, friendly staff at reception- a sign... more

We had enjoyed our first stay there (Easter 2007 in a Garden Suite) so booked a couple of nights around St. Patrick’s Day based on a very good room rate offered on their website. Check-in was pleasant and efficient and our room on the ground floor was spacious (double bed and single bed plus chairs and table to relax at),... more

The location is spectacular - set in woods, overlooking the bay, the staff were really friendly, the rooms were class, the restaurant was nice, not a big menu but good options, the breakfast is good. A 10 min drive to Kinsale but they provide a shuttle service if you don't have a car/don't want to drive. Great spa! more

The hotel is located some 5km outside Kinsale on a peaceful site overlooking Oysterhaven Bay. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes by car to get into town, but the hotel has a wide range of facilities on site: lounges, restaurant, bar, indoor pool, spa. It is a very modern hotel, with good sized rooms, including ones with 'wet rooms'... more

We stayed here for Easter from Friday to Monday and absolutely loved it. It was so quiet sitting out on the terrace that you could hear a pin drop. The location is amazing with the most wonderful views. The bedroom was clean and spacious and the bathroom had everything you would need. All the staff were friendly and extremely helpful.... more

I can't say enough about what a great trip we had with our new daughter. The staff fell over trying to accomodate us. Bedrooms great size with a very comfortable bed. Enjoyed the meal in the restaurant, felt there was a good choice on the menu and wine list. Staff really did excel. Great value for money and the setting... more
