We came back to Actons Hotel for our yearly visit. On arrival, the hotel has been completely refurbished as have all the rooms. We had a family room which are two separate bedrooms with one entrance and ensuite are completely refurbished. Excellent excellent excellent. Had separate bedrooms, televisions, which suited both myself and my wife, as we had our two grandchildren with us who are delighted to have their own bedroom two single beds with her own television. The swimming pool has also had a makeover. Had the chicken wings for lunch and a steak for dinner absolutely sensational. Fidelma and the team are brilliant. I would highly highly highly recommend this hotel. Great job all round. See you in August

The photos on Tripadvisor make this hotel appear to be more "plush" than it really is. We had a triple room with a partial view of the harbor. Nice location with free parking. Bed and linens were comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was good.

Loved this hotel. Room was spacious and very comfortable with a great view of the harbor. There was a group of 13 of us, with ages ranging from mid 20s to60s, as well as a toddler. Breakfast was very convenient before heading out for the day. The hotel was in a great location to walk into town for pubs and restaurants.

We stayed in Kinsale for a couple of days. The Actons is a larger hotel in a small village. The location is quiet, and just off the center of town. Parking can be tricky. We had to cruise around a couple of times before getting a spot. Checking in was quick and the staff pleasant. Our room was very well appointed, comfortable, clean, with nice touches like cookies with the coffee/tea service.Needed a news fix and was happy to get CNN International as well as some streaming services. Breakfast was included and had a variety of choices hot and cold. Some good restaurants nearby. All in all enjoyed the hotel.

Stayed two nights at Actons. Our first night was a Saturday and there was a wedding reception in the hotel, so parking was difficult. The staff was able to find us parking. We had a room with a bay view and appreciated the second door from the hallway which sealed off all the corridor noise. The breakfast was excellent. It included a buffet with fruit, yogurt, breads, pastries along with a menu of hot items and meats and cheeses.

Old hotel, but okay overall. Our room was smallish but adequate. The hotel gets an outstanding rating for its plugs. Three at the desk and many more around the room. Lovely breakfast. Good wifi. Worst feature: the room still has a physical key. That was a bit of a problem for the two of us. Otherwise, we were happy enough here.

The good stuff: Friendly staff Nice cosmetics in the room Modern downstairs restaurant and bar area Close to town and other restaurants Plenty of parking when we arrived at 4:30pm Nice restaurant area for breakfast. Shower was great, really powerful and plenty of hot water 💦 Bed was really comfortable if you kept to your own side! The niggles: Our planned room and another guests room weren’t ready so we waited for another. The room that was available was on the first floor and old fashioned compared to our previous stay so I was a bit disappointed. Layout was a bit odd, probably designed to be a family room as there was a dressing table opposite the bed and the TV was over to the left of the room - which meant you couldn’t see it from the bed! Our double bed was two single beds pushed together with a duvet that was zipped together - which isn’t the most comfortable if you get caught in the middle 😀 Room was overlooked by the next building. Not very soundproof so we were disturbed earlier on by other guests. Would definitely go back, but would see if they had a more modern double next time!…

We absolutely LOVED this hotel. I booked it after extensive research on where to stay in Kinsale and we were beyond happy with our stay. The suite was large and so comfortable. The breakfast and bar were both fabulous and we loved the location, we walked everywhere. Parking was easy as well which is always a plus.

We just celebrated our wedding in Actons. We couldn’t fault them for anything. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, the rooms and the service. The drinks reception in Sydney’s bar was the perfect way to start the celebrations and the gin bar and mobile kegs were a great hit. The function room was beautiful and decorated to perfection. Ian and Eilish couldn’t have been more helpful in coordinating our wedding and looking after us on the day. The service and quality of everything, in particular the food, was amazing. The perfect venue for the day!
