Beautiful resort like hotel just outside kinsale. While you have to drive to get to town, this is fairly easy to do. The views and service are great. Rooms are very nice. The gym and pool facilities are very nice, though open to the public (swim lessons etc).

Property was beautiful, staff was lovely, room was average (floor/ tiles in the bathroom were loose) flashing in the shower was in need of repair. Food, not so great for a hotel that is supposed to be a superior stay.

Found it a long way and inconvenient to go to Kinsale. Limited amenities. Views were wonderful. Grounds were nice to walk. Unfortunately the weather was poor and i could see this would be a wonderful place in better weather.

Very comfortable
Overall a really great place. Staff really friendly and the food excellent. Rooms very comfortable and I had a fabulous night sleep. Not sure I’d pay the extra for a “sea view” room again- it was a pleasant view, yes there was some water - BUT at best a small inlet / bay - not the sea.

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 $$.

A charming relaxing hotel near kinsale
Lovely spacious room with an outstanding view. The bed was big and very comfortable. The only negative point was a mouldy shower that required attention and the absence of a toilet brush that is common in many hotels and I don’t understand. Overall the room was still great, clean and well looked after. We appreciated the complimentary water every night. We also loved the restaurant area: good food and great ambient. The swimming pool area was very nice and the location of the hotel phenomenal. A morning walk outside the hotel highly recommended.
