Actons is a treat
Pros:

Actons Hotel is gorgeous. The location cannot be beat, with water views from every room. Our rooms were spotless, completely silent, and the amenities and staff are wonderful. I loved that after returning from dinner, I found the maid service had closed my curtains, put chocolates on the pillows, and turned on the TV to Lyric FM, Ireland's classical radio station. It was a warm welcome indeed.

Wonderful View
Pros:

Nicely located, walking distance to the cute town Kinsale and we had a harbor view room (exactly on the picture ) and very clean. Having a glass of wine looking over the Harbor was so enjoyable and priceless. Extra money was a worth. Even facing to the busy street, having parking space gives some set back and noise was not the issue. Breakfast was great and guests can use the next door local fitness club having a pool, Jacuzzi and fitness center which was handy after golfing. Having parking space is a huge as town is very congested and difficult to find a parking space. The Staff was friendly. The bar was way too bright lights at night and did not have a right vive. We went out for drinks outside.
overall, we made a good choice and very happy to come back again .

Pleasant stay in great location
Pros:

I had a very pleasant solo stay at Acton’s hotel. My room was upgraded to a harbour view room, which was spacious and nicely decorated. The shower was great and the Voya products were lovely. The breakfast was very good especially the full Irish. I didn’t eat at the restaurant so can’t comment on the food but the wine at the bar could be better.
Staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel has a prime location overlooking the harbour and a few minutes walk to the town centre.

Fabulous Hotel in the heart of town which I will definitely revisit
Pros:

On previous visits to conceal I have eyed this hotel with envy because of its private car park. When I booked my three night stay months ago I had no idea that I would be especially grateful for air conditioning as Europe experiences a heatwave. The hotel staff is extraordinarily gracious, The breakfasts are absolutely delicious and the rooms are pristinely kept. It is directly across the street from Kinsale harbor. Everything you need is within an easy walk and the town itself is absolutely charming.

Perfect location for a great Kinsale experience
Pros:

The view was lovely and a great place to relax and unwind. The breakfast staff were fantastic and the Irish dance event at the Actons Hotel we attended was absolutely fabulous. Plus there was a discount for hotel guests for this event.

Cons:

Nothing major to mention.
