7/7 found this review helpful

After a lot of hemming and hawing over Kinsale we finally settled on the Chart House and we are very happy that we did. The location is perfect--a five minute walk to the center of town, but on a quiet side street about 100 meters off the water. There is free street parking right in front and we never had a problem finding a space.

In our seven weeks on the road Mary and Billy were our favorite hosts. You hear about the craic in Ireland and we didn't find much of that in the pubs (maybe we didn't stay late enough) but you will find it with Mary and Billy if you give them the slightest opening. We could have chatted with them during our entire stay. Instead we took the walking tour of town which was as fun as it was informative and a day-long driving tour of the little towns to the south and west of Kinsale. Each bend in the road was a new treat. We were intrigued by this part of Ireland after reading McCarthy's bar by the late Pete McCarthy and it did not disappoint.

Our room at the Charthouse was spacious and well appointed, immaculately clean and very quiet when it needed to be. Breakfast was perfectly prepared and made extra special with the addition of Billy's Irish Mist to Mary's porridge. This B&B is probably a "4" in other circumstances but the hosts make it a "5".

6/6 found this review helpful

This was a fabulous B&B to stay and in a great location. Our room, which was on the second floor had twelve foot ceilings and was very beautiful. The bed in our room was large and looked like some beds that I have seen in palaces (ask for the blue room at the top of the stairs). The breakfast had a wide variety of food and was very good. The owners were great. When we decided to change our travel plans they spent one and a half hours of thier evening calling friends who own other B&B's to find us two rooms in B&B's in our next two towns decided to stay in. The B&B's they made reservations at were very nice. We could not have asked for a better place to stay at.

8/8 found this review helpful

I normally always find where to stay from Trip Advisor, however I was looking for a luxury four-poster bed type place in Kinsale and couldn't find anything listed. After a bit of Internet surfing, I found The Chart House on the AA website. Described as a Luxury Georgian Bed and Breakfast, it has 4 AA stars.

The Chart House's website gives photos of the rooms which are very accurate. I found the rooms excellent, and the Jacuzzi bath was great too.

The guesthouse host was very helpful and informative, giving us a map of all the places to visit in Kinsale.

For breakfast we had porridge with Irish Mist Liqueur (yum) and a choice of cooked breakfasts.

The price (€70 per person per night) was higher than I normally pay, but the rooms were very large and well decorated, so I feel that the increased price was justified. I would recommend here.
