The best B&B in Kinsale

Review of San Antonio
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 5, 2016
I've stayed with Jimmy in San Antonio many times and I love the way you're welcomed like a friend who's just called in. There's a friendly atmosphere, clean tidy rooms, it's a 2 minute stroll to the centre of town, and the breakfast is legendary. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Stayed one night in Kinsale on a tour through Southern Ireland. San Antonio house was lovely. Great location. Only 2 blocks from the Main Street with loads of restaurants, shops and pubs. The room was very comfortable with a large bathroom. Jimmy the host was amazing! Very friendly. He gave suggestions for things to do and even a weather forecast in the morning. The breakfast was fabulous too! Highly recommend staying here.

We just returned from 2 weeks in Ireland - 2 evenings with Jimmie in Kinsale. He was a wonderful host - lovely home and lovely breakfast! Kinsale is a wonderful town - my personal favorite on the whole "Rick Steves" inspired tour!

Jimmy was spot on with dinner recommendations. San Antonio house was so cool on the inside and very spacious. Old merchants house from Kinsale's trading heyday, but updated with modern fixtures. The breakfast was delicious - Jimmy will let you order whatever you want, but get his porridge (and not the cornflakes).

We enjoyed many delightful activities in Kinsale. Each night we had a restful, good night's sleep and then Jimmy treated us to a grand breakfast every morning. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant, engaging host. Jimmy is also a guitarist who sings beautiful folk songs.

I am hoping he will email me the recipe for the delicious brown bread he makes for breakfast.

Kinsale was a highlight of my family's 8 day trip in Ireland, in part to Jimmie's B and B. The location is great, rooms are large and clean, breakfast is fabulous, and Jimmie is endearing. He is always around when needed and provided great recommendations for dinner, drinks, and music. Lovely experience!
