Stopping in for only one night- the beautiful town of Kinsale might have been our favorite Irish relaxation destination. John and Mairead were the perfect guides- directing us to a can't miss evening of music at one of the local pubs and some of the best fish ever at Fishy Fish. The location is wonderful- just a three minute walk... more

Steve & I have had the most fantastic break in Kinsale. We spent 8 nights at Cloisters & now we're home, & on diets of course, we are craving Maireads breakfasts & Johns coffee! Words are not enough to recommend Cloisters. Mairead & John welcome people into a lovely home. Their hospitality is second to none & nothing is too... more

I stayed at the Cloisters while in Kinsale for a friend's wedding. John and Mairead delivered everything I was looking for - a great B&B experience, and a much more friendly, personal touch than staying in one of the local hotels (and at a bargain price!) The room was great - a lovely queen bed and ensuite bathroom, all very... more

Having had time to reflect on my second B&B experience in Ireland and to compare it to my first , Cloisters is how it should be done! Having arrived at a B&B in Galway and my wife being asked to help make the bed, no breakfast and being woken at 5 am to let ourselves out when we were ready... more

The room was more than comfortable and spotlessly clean. John is a wealth of information about the vicinity and seemed to come up with suggestions which exactly matched... more

My husband and I recently spent a night at the Cloisters B&B in Kinsale and we cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived we enjoyed the hospitality of Mairead and John the owners. The location of the B&B is excellent , with ample (FREE!) parking close by. It was central to restaurants and the only a couple... more

Our extended family of seven found Cloisters B&B to be very very comfortable and within walking distance of most of the Kinsale's main attractions. Our party was unanimous, from the youngest (age 8) to the oldest adults, that we wished we had allocated two days instead of 1 to our stay in this town and this nice B&B. The breakfasts... more

We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy B & B! more

This was the nicest B&B we had ever stayed in within Ireland. Location was fantastic in the heart of Kinsale. Rooms were beautiful and breakfast choices were delicious. The owners were really friendly and very helpful. more
