The hotel was further from Kinsale than I expected but was able to get a shuttle bus to town but needed to get a taxi back. The pool area was having work and some facilities were out of action. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were so helpful and friendly. .

A lovely hotel with fabulous staff, the pool & facilities are fantastic. Had dinner in the restaurant both nights, great choice, delicious food/drinks. Would recommend it for a lovely family or friends get away.

Beautifully situated in hotel grounds on elevated site overlooking estuary. 5 minutes drive into Kinsale. Large modern rooms, clean with large bed and great views. Hotel reception and restaurant bright and airy. Dinner was average and breakfast on the first morning was awful. Self served cooked breakfast was warm at best and running low or out of components. Plates, although looked clean, had a gritty feel as if dishwasher not correctly functioning. Breakfast on the second day improved.

One unhappy experience at reception with an offhand and rude male receptionist. The hotel apologized and everything since then has been perfect, so much so that we added another night.. dining room staff went the extra mile and were thoughtful, helpful and friendly.

The bar tenders were very friendly and shared some tips about our pubs and bars in Dublin. The property was gorgeous! Hikes on property show you an old stone wall, an abandoned house, and a private beach.
