Not a great location. Probably better as a time share resort rather than a hotel. Meant to be 4 star. Might have been but room and bathroom were rudimentary. Fridge didn’t work. Bathroom supplies a little poor. Restaurant had a great menu and good food but it all needed more effort towards the customer.

Magnificent property- stunning views- lots of land around. Spa seems first class. Very close to town but our gps got us lost after returning from music in Kinsale. Clean room!
Can’t comment on breakfast since we slept thru it but they gave us scones and coffee after hours . Too short a visit .

Highly recommend. Beautiful location and very helpful staff. Breakfast was lovely as well
ELIZABETH
Very pretty hotel, I upgraded room because first double room had a straight on view of a metal fence (Room 105) but the upgrade was definitely worth it €30 extra a night and the views were gorgeous {Room 219]
Sarita
Beautiful big bedroom, lovely bed and cushions. Fabulous pool. Breakfast good, made amazing by The lovely Chelsea with her welcoming presence.
Restaurant was quite pricey and wait for food was long dispite it being just few people in, food was nice.

Stunning location and amazing food
The property is situated in a beauriful remote area, and looks stunning from outside. The reception staff was very smart and helpful, and the room was beautiful. The gym is well equipped, however the sauna did not work and the steam room would benefit from an essential oil smell, rather than musty smell. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, my favourite being the handmade soda bread. Top quality food and perfect service. There are lovely walks around the place and the views are stunning, but I am sure I wrote that already. Very happy with our stay.
Fleur
Fabulous location
Great hotel in a lovely rural location with great views. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Food was great also and we were given a complimentary check out of 12 noon instead of 11am. Lovely waterfall feature in grounds. Close proximity by car to Kinsale. Would recommend.
Dipankar
We enjoyed our stay at Kinsale Hotel and Spa. It is a modern, contemporary hotel very close to Kinsale with spacious, clean rooms, an open lobby area, adequate parking and a great balcony overlooking the water. The breakfast was great. The staff at the reception were very helpful and provided great recommendations. It's a ten minute drive to Kinsale.

The hotel was further from Kinsale than I expected but was able to get a shuttle bus to town but needed to get a taxi back. The pool area was having work and some facilities were out of action. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were so helpful and friendly. .
Michael
Beautifully situated in hotel grounds on elevated site overlooking estuary. 5 minutes drive into Kinsale.
Large modern rooms, clean with large bed and great views. Hotel reception and restaurant bright and airy.
Dinner was average and breakfast on the first morning was awful. Self served cooked breakfast was warm at best and running low or out of components. Plates, although looked clean, had a gritty feel as if dishwasher not correctly functioning. Breakfast on the second day improved.

Beautiful spot - best beds in the country - breakfast buffet has tons of options - restaurant reasonably priced- pool and gym was very busy as used by locals as well
Josephine
A lovely hotel with fabulous staff, the pool & facilities are fantastic. Had dinner in the restaurant both nights, great choice, delicious food/drinks. Would recommend it for a lovely family or friends get away.
Maria
Absolutely beautiful property

One unhappy experience at reception with an offhand and rude male receptionist. The hotel apologized and everything since then has been perfect, so much so that we added another night.. dining room staff went the extra mile and were thoughtful, helpful and friendly.

Very This was an amazing place. The room was comfortable. The view from our room was SPECTACULAR. The pool was big, clean and modern with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.
Breakfast buffet was complete with gluten free options and plant milk was available upon request.
JOHN is the MAN. He welcomes you, keeps the restaurant and reception going, and even gave us a ride to Kinsale in hotel van.
We would definitely go again. 👍

The bar tenders were very friendly and shared some tips about our pubs and bars in Dublin.
The property was gorgeous! Hikes on property show you an old stone wall, an abandoned house, and a private beach.

This hotel is quite a distance from the center of the city. However, the facility is quite nice including the rooms and restaurant. We had dinner in the restaurant and were impressed by the capable and attentive staff. The dinner was good and the breakfast the following morning was adequate.
Ann
Very nice property early in our Ireland experience which set the expectations for the rest of the trip! Thank you!
Katie
Beautiful location, comfortable room, friendly and accommodating staff. There was a wedding taking place when we arrived, right in reception next to check in which made it awkward to use shared space. Food was good, but service was slow
Bernard
Nice walks nearby
Nathalie
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).
jonathon
The most stunning location. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Would love to stay again!
Jeanne
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.
Kevin

David
This is a unique property you need a car to get into town but we found their restaurant extremely good and reasonable
Ollie
Great hotel
Great stay. Helpful staff. Little things at this level matter though - answering the phone when you’re in the middle of checking someone in isn’t a great look. And the room was uncomfortably warm, even with windows open or AC on max. The views on the other side would’ve been stunning looking East over Oyster Haven. West-facing you just have a car park. Request level 3 on the left (odd-numbered rooms I think). Bar menu was decent. Waiting staff there were brilliant!!!

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.
Laura

Nice hotel with beautiful view of lake. Not close to town but with driving well worth it. Great bar with Vino and restaurant. Good breakfast too.

Wonderful place! Beautiful surroundings . A bit out of town but a short taxi drive .
Theresa
Staff were SO very helpful!!
Paul
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 $$.
David
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.

Wedding stay
Lovely location with beautiful views and gardens. Went to a wedding the food at the wedding was good.
The only thing that let it down was the breakfast, which was well below standard, I stay again but next time will use room only a rate

The best part of our stay was the amazing views from our room in the back of the building.
Margaret
The staff especially John were terrific!He gave good recommendations for day trips. It was very relaxing and the food was delicious!
Katherine
A lovely stay
Everything was lovely. Our request for a quiet room away from the hubbub was accommodated. The bathtub and shower were lovely! Our only issue was the bed… it was a bit “slanted” and uneven so I kept rolling toward the center! Samuel and all the staff were all lovely.
stephanie
Short stay didn’t get to enjoy amenities.

A place of calm and comfort.
A place of calm and comfort. A large room with good facilities. The pool and spa area were very clean and there was great views from the pool area. The staff were caring and helpful and the morning buffet breakfast was devine. Having the breakfast on the terrace over looking the estuary was so peaceful.

It was a perfect stay at the end of our week in Ireland. Beautiful, relaxing, idyllic setting!
Natasha
We booked two rooms and had a terrible experience. First, we had booked a sea view room. When we checked in they gave us the room, but it was not a sea view and they said they had no other sea view rooms available. The rooms were incredibly hot as were the halls. It was max of 65 outside...if they had just opened the windows, the rooms would have been more comfortable. The rooms were not well maintained. They looked dirty and old. One elevator did not work and there were stains on the carpets. The breakfast was terrible...inedible. Find another property in the beautiful town of Kinsale.

This property is well worth the drive and the views are spectacular. Breakfast was super and the staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the pool and gym and would highly recommend this property to friends and family.

This hotel is located a short drive away from Kinsale. It is not within easy walking distance of the harbour area, but this was not an issue for us since we had a car. The main advantages of this hotel were that it was quiet, modern, well maintained, had a very nice restaurant, and lots of parking. The staff were friendly and helpful. There were modern fitness facilities, but we did not use them. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Only issue was the room itself. Beds were extremely hard and the room was way too hot.

Standards have slipped drastically
The hotel is a little dated and I wouldn’t consider it to be 4 star anymore. Lacking the small touches such as water in the room, bathrobes etc. The pool area is nice but changing rooms need refurbishing. We ate at the restaurant and the food was really good but the staff were all over the place. The desert menu was interesting with a few alternative options and I asked the waitress could they recommend anything and she bluntly said no! We had a bad experience with trying to pay the food bill, we were given a slip of paper to fill out which we did and included a gratuity, signed with our room details. Later that evening while relaxing in the room we got a call to come to reception as they had forgotten to take an imprint of my card at check in and so they couldn’t charge my dinner bill. I went to reception and offered to pay then and they said no that the imprint would be sufficient etc
At 11.30pm that night we were asleep when we heard loud banging on the door and it was a different person from the restaurant with a new bill demanding payment. They woke my 6 year old and it was not a nice experience. There seems to be a complete lack of communication between staff. We checked out the next day and realised my son had left his charger behind so I called a couple of days later and they said they would check and ring me back. I rang again 3 days later and they said they were still checking and to stop calling as they would let me know when they have the time to check! I give up

We stayed one night at this hotel and really enjoyed our time. Our room was spacious, beds very comfortable, nice big bathroom with option of shower or bath very helpful when traveling with babies. Haveing an option of a cooling fan was nice on hot days. We had breakfast the next day which was very nice and left us feeling full and satisfied for our day ahead. Would definitely stay again.

Great location to explore around Kinsale, and west Cork. Only a short drive to Cork city also.
Clean room with a great view down to the sea.
Arrived late but still got great bar food. Good breakfast included with plenty of choice. Staff couldn't be better. Looking forward to going back.

Kinsale Hotel & Spa was a great place to stay, the down-side is that it is a way out of Kinsale. ALthough the hotel does offer a complementary transfer into the town.
Food was good, which was lucky since I did go out several times to find a local pub/restaurant and I drew a blank. I took a lot of lot of walks from the hotel. Parking was 'just' OK, a few times I took the last space, sorry for anyone who arrived after me,

It was a beautiful place to stay.

The property is well designed but a bit tired and in need of improvement beyond just painting. The hotel charges a premium for a view. That view is southern-exposure and the large windows generate a lot of passive solar heat in the room - great for winter, but the windows barely open to ventilate heat and the room air conditioner did not work at all. The shower is great but the water did not drain and would pool at the basin up to six inches. Later the front desk said none of air conditioners them chill the air and that they were not needed until recently because of \"climate change\". Sorry - these rooms would have always generated a lot of solar heat. Also, if the windows are open the occupant has to listen to the guests outside enjoying the terrace at night. It is not acceptable to withhold climate control from the occupants. As to the view - you need to close the curtains to keep the sun from heating up the room. At check out, the front desk really didn't seem to appreciate that our experience was unpleasant. We actually live in the area and expect to invite guests, but we will not recommend the hotel. I would recommend to others not to choose the \"view\" option. On a plus side for the hotel, the breakfast is excellent and professional.
