Very comfortable hotel, in quiet, picturesque rural location near Kinsale. Room was very comfortable with adjustable heating. Reception area was also very good - large couches and comfortable seating in a spacious atrium, and it was warm. Breakfast very good. the only downside was the bar, which was a bit dark, and not teribly welcoming. It would really benefit from an open fire. Televison reception in all Kinsale hotels is poor. This could surely be improved. Overall, we would highly recommend this hotel, especialy at the price we got it through Roomex.com.
