9.4/10 Exceptional! (78 reviews)
A surprising bit of luxury in a small guest house. We stayed at the Glen Quarter for one night at the start of a coastal tour, but now I kind of wish we'd booked two nights instead. Our stay fell on a Tuesday night in the off season, so I feel like we barely sampled the charms of Kinsale and now ...

The apartment itself was very nice... however the communication with the owner was not very accessible! Also, if you rent a car parking is extremely difficult! overall, the apartment was nice however I think next time I think I would stay at a hotel that offered parking

Check-in directions were sent ahead of time and were clear and easy to follow. The location is a bit remote - eat before you get there because there isn't much around. Everything about the property is fine - nothing fancy, but provided everything we needed for a two day stay.

Great location, needs improvement.
The apartment is in a great location with easy key box access, Wi-Fi, warm water, and a spacious layout. The kitchen is nice but lacks basic dishes and pans. The two double bed mattresses were adequate but not comfortable. The sleeper sofa was unusable, no sheets or blankets, and the pad was badly ...

Beautiful place

3/5 - Okay

Overrun with tourists during the day, and ghostly quiet at night - not at all a typical Irish town.

5/5 - Excellent

The walks along the ocean are gorgeous in particular the 'Scilly' walk from the Bullman pub (well worth a visit with excellent food) back into Kinsale.

4/5 - Good

Dinos was a nice Fish Cafe but Fishy FIshy was a class higher with Ben as a quality waiter who plays golf. Quaint harbour with some lovely small shops i was particularly liking the Bookshop. I had probably the biggest best Whippy Icecream at Centra.

5/5 - Excellent
