Fabulous find, delightful staff and delicious food!
Pros:

A wonderfully welcoming hotel with super friendly staff, amazing breakfast and a fabulous restaurant for evening meals. The food was delicious. Only 10 bedrooms so nice and exclusive, and overall a fabulous stay. I would highly recommend. The rooms were clean and spacious, clean towels daily and I would stay again and soak in that fabulous Irish hospitality.

Cons:

The rooms are relatively basic and the bed a bit too soft for me, but I am being picky. Nothing else I didn't like!

An Irish stay in an amazing location that is also quiet when you want it to
Pros:

Loved the quaint and cozy hotel and bar. Location was amazing and so walkable to everything. Room was not a luxury hotel but was amazing with large windows everything we could have needed. Very quiet, even on a Friday and Saturday night. On site parking and included breakfast was excellent!

Cons:

Everything was lovely

Great people, great location, great food and drinks.
Pros:

The staff was incredible. Great location. The restaurant and the bar were great. We had a white lady martini every afternoon. Highly recommend.

Cons:

The bedroom and bathroom were a bit small. If you’re expecting a lot of space this is not the place for you.

Typisch Irisch

Great breakfast, friendly staff but room was very disappointing for the cost
Pros:

The location was great, fantastic breakfast and the restaurant and bar downstairs are great.

Cons:

Our room was very small, the one window looked out onto the roof where the kitchen vent was so was pretty noisey until the restaurant closed. It was the worst room we stayed in Ireland and the most expensive.

Nice staff, tasty breakfast l
Pros:

The gentleman who checked us in was one of the nicest people we came across on our trip to Kinsale/Cork. We arrived early, well before check in time and I was feeling (and probably looking) under the weather. We arrived just looking to drop off our bags to return a few hours later and he went upstairs to check if a room was ready for us and allowed us to check in early. This was such a kind thing to do and what I needed at that time. I couldn’t thank him enough and this level of hospitality and kindness is why we will return here.
