Nice property but way over priced
The room is very large. But there is only 1 chair to sit on and loads of room for a small table and some chairs. The floors are very creeky and you can hear all the neighbouring rooms. This place has great potential in an amazing location, but needs a tidy up. Parking was ok but would be a nightmare in peak season. I learnt after staying that there is a kitchen onsite. It would have been nice to know this before hand. There is no common area to sit and read a book or mingle with other guests. The heaters were not on during the first night and it was freezing. You are basicslly staying in a hostel without any ability to socialise.

The amount of stairs to get to the front door made it difficult to get luggage up and down . The room was nice We had issues with WiFi password could not read the handwritten password on paper in hallway . Never got sorted out . But location was perfect o walk to restaurants and shops .

Clean, very nicely decorated, very spacious room and bathroom. Can only be reached by short walk up the stairs, but this was clearly mentioned in the posting. Our toilet did not flush. It was repaired the next day, but should have been taken care of before our arrival. I recommend this property

We had a spacious room with a great bathtub. We were able to find street parking easily and could walk wherever we wanted to go. There was a little confusion with the check in only because we did not get the email letting us know how to find the key and get in. There was a nice gentleman there cleaning and he helped us out. I would stay there again and would definitely recommend it to others. Kinsale is beautiful.

Magnifique, mais...
Le gros point négatif c'est qu'il a été très difficile de communiquer avec l'hôte. Pas de réponse courriel, pas de réponse à la porte une fois sur place et nous n'avons jamais réussi à téléphoner non plus... Par contre, une fois les informations transmises par courriel quelques heures avant l'arrivée seulement et les clés reçues, la place est super tranquille et c'est vraiment un magnifique endroit qui se trouve à proximité de tout. J'y retournerais probablement malgré tout.
