Perfect location in Kinsale

We recently stayed at the lovely Blue Haven where we had a HUGE and charming room. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was fantastic…great soaking tub and toiletries. The staff could not have been nicer. The location could not have been better. Be sure not to miss the wonderful Bulman Pub in the next village on top of the hill.

Fairytale boutique in a fairytale village - cute!!

OMG!! This boutique hotel is the quaintest, most darling place I've ever stayed. The staff is awesome, the room was great, the bar and restaurants were super!!! And the musical entertainment is so relaxing! The only downside is there is no parking onsite. But once you make it to this gorgeous little village, you will understand why and won't even have a second thought about it. But to be clear, the nearest parking is a five minute walk up a small hill. This does give you an opportunity to check out some cute little shops though. And pick up any needed supplies at the market.

Too noisey

Nice hotel all round. But if you don't want to be up at 6am stay away from here As the hotel is on the Main Street trucks are unloading to the 2 supermarkets from early Making it impossible to sleep. Maybe new Windows could be an idea for this hotel I had to come home for a rest !!

Great location in Kinsale

Loved the charm of the hotel. Very nice rooms for a good value. The restaurant had delicious food. Didn't sleep too well due to loud noises outside, but it was worth it for the location.

Great hotel in ideal central location

On checking-in we were not happy with our room aspect and reception very kindly changed it. Plesant staff. Continantal breakfast was good, nice coffee, full breakfast was on offer at an extra charge. We got an excellent deal and Would stay there again & would also highly recommend the hotel.

Great location and friendly staff, but the hotel felt very run down and lacked any attention to detail in design and quality.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Very disappointing!

Not great for what we paid but that's Kinsale for you really, extortionate pricing cashing in on American $$$$. Had to wait 15 mins at the front door to be let in initially. TV was the size of my computer monitor (15" approx) with only 3 channels tuned in and one channel half tuned in (this was the channel my wife wanted to watch while we were getting ready to go out incidentally). View was nice with 2 windows overlooking the harbour (room 17). No pressure on the shower head which was part of a bath and no one at reception to check us out in the morning (11.45am - we waited and rang the bell!). All in all very disappointing and my hopes were reasonably high as the Blue Haven has a good reputation in Kinsale and we previously dined there. Will not ever visit again or recommend to anyone.

Charming Hotel in a Charming Town

We enjoyed our brief stay in Kinsale at the Blue Raven Hotel. The Room was well appointed and the hotel was right in the center of town - an easy walk to everything. Parking is offsite and is free, but a bit of a walk.

Acceptable

When we arrived, Hostess said someone called to cancel our booking. But they found another room in a nearby property. The oversized bed made the room too crowded and there was a hard lump in the middle of the bed. Breakfast was OK.

Action or a little peace..?

In the heart of Kinsale and certainly convenient, however, you give up a little peace and quiet for the convenience. The pub across the street was a little too loud if you are looking to turn in early. Early morning delivery trucks make enough ruckus to act as your morning alarm. If you like the vibe of being in the town center and can tolerate the noise go for it! Nice bar with good entertainment.

The Old Bank Blue Haven

We were moved promptly to the "Old Bank " rooms, since there was a noisy vent outside our window. It was perfect, high ceilings, big window with light and many nice amenities! We stayed two nights and could have easily stayed another. Great cafe where they served breakfast with Latte's!

Awesome location in a beautiful town!

My regret is only spending one night in Kinsale- don't cheat yourself, spend two! The room is small, this is a boutique hotel, but the staff is friendly and the location is perfect. Breakfast is delicious too!
