Kinsale Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"This is a unique boutique hotel nestled in the countryside of Kinsale. Like a hotel tree house - built into the trees and surrounded by trees and walking and play spaces. Windows in the main area and bar/restaurant so you can easily see the field and lake behind it. Lovely stay with fun music the night of our stay. I wish we had more time explore the grounds and use the walkway."
