"Great place to stay in Kinsale. Right on the edge of town in a quiet neighborhood. Just is very nice and goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. "
"The hotel was beautiful and comfortable but we were a little warm the whole time and Cork was not walkable. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had many choices. I would stay here again but ideally not during a heat wave!"
