This room was simply amazing. Modern, yet welcoming. We had our own private courtyard with lovely views. Communication with them was spot on and the check-in was a breeze. When we get back to Kinsale, this will again be our place to stay!

Great overnigh stay

It was amazing. The amenities were very nice. Parking could have been more straight forward as we had to park at the "no overnight parking" lot which turned out to be fine to overnighr park

This was a wonderful place to stay with a beautiful room and fantastic shower. Very helpful owner. The only thing that one should know is that it doesn’t have a front desk; so you need to call the owner’s phone number on arrival. We called the telephone number, and we were met at the front door in about one minute.

Very unique and charming room. Very quiet. Not a traditional hotel with staff so you have to figure things out yourself ( ie how the coffee maker works) but very good value.

Excellent hotel in heart of Kinsale

Beautiful room in the heart of Kinsale. Within walking distance of everything. The rooms appear to have been recently renovated/updated. All furnishings and fixtures are in excellent condition. The room was very clean. The bathroom was wonderful with an extra large shower. I wish all hotels were like this one. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel.

The room was quite small, there wasn’t much room to move around with two of you in there, and check-in was difficult, we got there at 3 as specified and it wasn’t clear how to get in to check in, we had to fall three times before we got through. Other than that, the room is perfectly located and the beds extremely comfy. We also appreciated the addition of a fan as the room got quite warm.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Amenities were amazing in our teeny room. Fridge, ironing board, drinking water, coffee machine with water already in it and beautiful bedding and bath. Also a small fan for white noise. I booked this on Expedia and the photo showed a spacious room at the Glen Quarter. Our room was a tiny but well appointed space with no room to open two suitcases unless on the bed. Hotel office was right outside our room door and sound travels. I do not know if it is the property supplying only one photo to represent all of the rooms but to me this seems wrong. This has happened more than once on the same trip that my Expedia booked room was not the one shown to me in the photo. Not impressed.

Very nice Boutique Hotel. Well appointed with plentiful amenities, good sized rooms and comfortable beds. Upscale bed linens and thick towels. Staff was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations for local dining, parking and even helped get our luggage up the stairs to the second floor. I would definitely stay there again.
