We had a wonderful stay, it was a short stay. But nice. Would loved to of gone swimming alittle after dinner . But the
Pros:

Everything

Cons:

The lighting in our room, made no sense. You couldn’t turn off the bedroom lights without turning off the hallway lights or either way, we didn’t want the hallway lights on at the same time as the bedroom lights on . Should be rewired. We only wanted the lights on at the bedside. But couldn’t just have those on. Everything would go on , or everything would go off . That was a big deal.

It was ok
Pros:

Nice grounds and views

Cons:

No music on for the Kinsale Jazz weekend, breakfast was only average.
On check in we were told that there was a shuttle bus into town as there was no music on in the hotel so we booked 2 seats on the 7pm shuttle, we arrived at reception at 5 mins to 7 only to be told the bus had already gone and it was the final shuttle of the evening, we were so annoyed, and they knew at reception that we were booked on and had our hotel room number but nobody thought to contact us to say that the bus was leaving early.
Also, 11am is early for check out, most hotels have a 12pm check out.

Good food,
Pros:

It was a pretty location. Good food in both restaurants. Good Breakfast buffet. Nice indoor pool. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

upon arrival the room was surrounded by cleaning supplies and felt like the worse room in the resort. they did change the room to a floor up, but same style room. Food and drinks were great, but not the pub atmosphere you would think from an Irish resort. The staff at the restaurants were great. the pub and the restaurant was divided by a small wall.
