We enjoyed our stay at Kinsale Hotel and Spa. It is a modern, contemporary hotel very close to Kinsale with spacious, clean rooms, an open lobby area, adequate parking and a great balcony overlooking the water. The breakfast was great. The staff at the reception were very helpful and provided great recommendations. It's a ten minute drive to Kinsale.

Stunning location and amazing food
The property is situated in a beauriful remote area, and looks stunning from outside. The reception staff was very smart and helpful, and the room was beautiful. The gym is well equipped, however the sauna did not work and the steam room would benefit from an essential oil smell, rather than musty smell. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, my favourite being the handmade soda bread. Top quality food and perfect service. There are lovely walks around the place and the views are stunning, but I am sure I wrote that already. Very happy with our stay.

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 $$.
