A comfortable and pleasant stay in a well positioned location.
Pros:

We were pleasantly surprised to get a park in the small hotel carpark. The hotel was centrally located - lovely position on the waterfront and also short walking distance from pubs and shops in Kinsale.

A charming hotel with a great location and wonderful staff
Pros:

The hotel is located in a very charming, historic and beautifully renovated building, which gives it a truly special character. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The location is excellent, making the hotel a perfect base for exploring the city and its surroundings.

We were especially impressed by the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, who made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great selection.

We also had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant one evening and were very pleased with the experience – both the food and the service were excellent.

A lovely place to stay that we would happily recommend.

Cons:

A kettle in the room would be a nice addition and would make the stay even more comfortable.
