There was nothing not to like about this lovely place. It is close to everything in Kinsale. Our room was beautifully laid out and spacious, every little detail had been thought of and the shower was great. Breakfast was very generous with fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt and 3 options of delicious cooked breakfasts on offer. Maeve the lovely host couldn't have been more kind and helpful, on one morning we had to leave early and she offered to make us breakfast to take with us. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this lovely place to stay in Kinsale.

Breakfast was good and the location was great including the nice view of the harbour. Staff were very friendly although a little too chatty on arrival when we were tired and keen to get up to our room. Comfy bed and nice bathroom.
