Wonderful little bespoke hotel
Lovely boutique hotel right in the centre of Kinsale. Beautiful rooms and spotlessly clean. Nice staff - very friendly. No bar or restaurant but not needed as the little cafe on the ground floor was lovely and there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Totally recommend staying here.

Hotel was a quaint older building. Lots of charm and character, clean, good location -- but the mattress felt as old as the place and I did not get good sleep. When paying a boutique hotel price, I expect to have a comfortable, modern bed.

Great location - right in the center of town. The building is very old and well maintained however the windows didn’t fully open or close so noise and cooling were hard to manage. The bath was very modern for such an old building.
