unfortunately we only stayed here one night. The rooms are very spacious and the beds extremely comfortable with a choice of pillow type. breakfast was made to order and superb. i would highly recommend this establishment.

We stayed at Friar’s Lodge for two nights. Fortunately for us this coincided with a coach-load of American tourists who filled the main hotel building. This meant we were upgraded to one of the four holiday homes at the rear of the hotel. Our house (mansion?) had four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge kitchen and comfy lounge. The quality of the facilities was second to none. The private car park felt very safe and the hotel staff was more than willing to help us make the most of our holiday by contacting local excursion operators on our behalf. Add to that the superb breakfast (Kinsale Kippers not be missed) and our stay at Friar’s Lodge was one of the highlights of our Irish adventure.

We stayed here for two nights in April. The rooms are very large and very clean. The location was nice and convenient. Good breakfast.

Stayed at the Friars Lodge mid-April for two nights. It was more like a small hotel than a B&B. Location was central and quiet. There was ample parking and the room was very spacious. Although we enjoyed our stay, we did have some remarks. The mattress protection cover was plastic, which made sleeping a sweaty event, the staff was a bit indifferent and the breakfast was disappointing. A good breakfast should consist of several types of bread (there was only white and brown toast and soda bread - typical Irish, but not everyone's fare), coldcuts (there were none), cheeses (menu stated there were several types, but there was only one - I asked) and yoghurts (there was plain and fruit yoghurt, but when plain yoghurt ran out, there was none anymore - I asked). Of course there were also traditional Irish breakfast items, such as porridge, scrambled eggs with salmon, and the fully cooked breakfast, but when travelling for a long time in Ireland, you really tire of these things.
Nevertheless, we had a good stay at the Friars Lodge.
