Location was not that good to start with. Rooms were small and without some basic things like tea/coffee kettle and soap. Heater was not working all days and could not get some one to start it. Breakfast was fine, not great. B&B itself was clean. more

Room was OK but NO TV or tea and coffe making. There was a so called 'TV lounge' but to be honest it was two very very old looking chairs and an even older TV (no remote and limited channels) Shower is very poor. Breakfast was average but have to sit round a large table with all other guests -... more

Interestingly enough I had read most of the reviews prior to our arrival at Dooneen House and was a little skiddish at first as to what we were going to find. What we found was beyond expectation, the breakfeast was great, totally love Irish bacon, and the accomodations, although modest, were clean and fresh. As important as the accomodations to... more

We stayed here for 2 nights, and were very happy with the B&B. The hosts were lovely, the room was nice (if a little damp), and had just been redone. Regarding the comment of the user who said that light coming through the window over the door upset them, we just went out to the corridor and turned off the... more

First of all the walk into town is a good 15 minutes and is all downhill going in and up hill coming back. nice walk but if you have problems with up hill thing twice. The walls are thin and our room had a window over the door which at first I thought was neat until the hall light stayed... more

We've just returned from a weekend trip around lovely West Cork area. We stayed in Dooneen for one night. I must say that was a bit disappointing. The room was basic and a bit damp, quite cool in the morning. We were woken up in the middle of the night by very loud guests next door. The very same people... more

I stayed in this B&B in Kinsale recently and was more than happy with choosing Dooneen House. The owners are friendly and had plenty of local knowledge about the town and such things as where is good to eat, etc... The rooms were clean and very comfortable and contrary another review, every room had a hairdryer!! Overall, I would defeinitely... more

The house and grounds are pretty and the owners are very nice and friendly. Be aware that they do not accept credit cards so be prepared to pay in cash. It is close enough to the city to walk, but it will be all uphill on the way back. The rooms were a little awkward and there is only 1... more

We arrived at Dooneen House right at 6pm after spending some time driving around trying to find it amongst the crazy roads of Kinsale. It was a nice house with comfortable rooms and bathrooms. The hosts were not the friendliest but we were in and out anyhow. It was about a 10 minute walk to town but it was a... more
