Very comfortable
Overall a really great place. Staff really friendly and the food excellent. Rooms very comfortable and I had a fabulous night sleep. Not sure I’d pay the extra for a “sea view” room again- it was a pleasant view, yes there was some water - BUT at best a small inlet / bay - not the sea.

What a wonderful surprise nestled in the hills outside of Kinsale. Beautiful property with a great bar and amazing staff. Rooms are well appointed and the view rooms facing the water are worth the little extra $$.

A charming relaxing hotel near kinsale
Lovely spacious room with an outstanding view. The bed was big and very comfortable. The only negative point was a mouldy shower that required attention and the absence of a toilet brush that is common in many hotels and I don’t understand. Overall the room was still great, clean and well looked after. We appreciated the complimentary water every night. We also loved the restaurant area: good food and great ambient. The swimming pool area was very nice and the location of the hotel phenomenal. A morning walk outside the hotel highly recommended.

A lovely stay
Everything was lovely. Our request for a quiet room away from the hubbub was accommodated. The bathtub and shower were lovely! Our only issue was the bed… it was a bit “slanted” and uneven so I kept rolling toward the center! Samuel and all the staff were all lovely.

A place of calm and comfort. A large room with good facilities. The pool and spa area were very clean and there was great views from the pool area. The staff were caring and helpful and the morning buffet breakfast was devine. Having the breakfast on the terrace over looking the estuary was so peaceful.
