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.
