Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was an absolute treat! The rooms were gorgeous with the most amazing views and maid service calling in each day, which is always a nice touch. Although a little on the expensive side, the spotless rooms offered excellent comfort with fantastic views over Kinsale harbor watching the seals & herons.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very spacious, bright, modern, and clean with a lovely view of the harbor, offering good facilities all around. The service was top-notch, with polite and hardworking staff. The location was superb, overlooking the harbor with convenient free parking facilities. The dining experience was fantastic with plenty of options to choose from. Overall, a great value for money with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel has stylish rooms and bathrooms, but room #309 should be avoided. The service is extremely friendly and overlooks the harbor, making it a pleasant experience. The location is fantastic for exploring Kinsale town, especially on a sunny day with a stunning harbor view. The dining experience offers fabulous choices and delightful homemade local products.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a lovely view. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the location overlooking the harbor was excellent. However, the dining experience could have been better with more variety. The facilities were great, but some aspects were not ideal.
The hotel is perfectly situated on its own pier overlooking the harbor, just a short walk from shops and restaurants, offering clean and comfortable rooms with amazing showers and beautiful views. The staff is accommodating and helpful, but there were some issues with friendliness in certain instances. The location is picturesque and ideal for exploring Kinsale town, though the service could be more consistent. The dining experience was pleasant overall, with cooked-to-order meals and a lovely restaurant view. The facilities are well-maintained but could have more attention to detail in service.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were immaculately cleaned daily, and the full-length window provided a stunning view of Kinsale Harbour. The hotel staff went out of their way to ensure my comfort and even offered to secure my valuables. The location, nestled on its own pier by the harbor, was just perfect, despite it being a bit tricky to reach the hotel's grounds. However, the dining experience left much to be desired as my dinner lacked vegetables, leaving me a bit hungry. The overall experience, though, more than made up for it with the mesmerizing scenery and the convenience of being just a short stroll away from shops and restaurants.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room wasn't ready until later than expected, and for the price, I was hoping for a larger bathroom. However, the room was very clean and comfortable. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly accommodating and friendly. The location was beautiful, overlooking the harbor, but the temperature was uncomfortable at times. The dining experience was excellent, offering a great variety of choices. Overall, a mixed experience but with many positives to highlight.
What a wonderful stay! The room was amazing, with large windows overlooking a lovely view of the harbor. The service was top-notch in the dining room and bar, a very good indication of excellence. Although a bit further from downtown, the location by the water's edge with a view of the harbor was beautiful. The dining experience was delicious overall, except for the sausages which have an acquired taste. The facilities were fantastic, especially the residents' bar. A great choice for a relaxing sojourn.
