Kinsale is a gorgeous town by the sea near Cork city and near the airport. It has great food and culture and lovely shops. There are lots of opportunities to take boat trips. The hotels are lovely and surrounding scenic places gorgeous.

Kinsale is a cute little town. Beware. Not easy to drive in.
Kinsale is a cute little town. Beware. Not easy to drive in. Good place to spend a few days.We used it as a base for going to Mizen head, Baltimore and other places south of Cork.
Also note, and this is very common in Ireland, don't get up a the crack of dawn and expect to find a place open for breakfast. A few opened at 8 but more often opened at 9 and even 10. Earlier than 9 were few and far between. Those that are tend to be crowded for obvious reasons.

It was disastrous, my wife decided to go down the town for a walk around as she was walking she noticed foreigners watching her every move and they then started to pair up and follow her, she felt so threatened that she had to go into spar shop and wait for me to collect her. Would never visit there again.

Kinsale is a fantastic town for a weekend away.
Kinsale is a fantastic town for a weekend away. There are several excellent restaurants where you will have unforgettable experiences. The Black Pig and Finns Farmcut are amazing. Breakfast can be hit or miss, The Lemon Leaf and OHK were excellent. If the weather allows the walk out to Charles Fort is lovely, with a pint of Murphy’s at the Bulmans. The views at the Old Head of Kinsale are breathtaking, and Garretstown Beach is stunning. The tour and tasting at Kinsale Mead is fascinating and a unique highlight. Be careful choosing where to stay, as standards are not reflected by star ratings, and the centre can be noisy. Parking is challenging with two hour max at the central car park, better at SuperValu but you’ll need to move your car overnight.

We arrived later in the evening but were welcomed wonderfully. If you drive to the hotel, know that parking is only what you find on the street. Our room was lovely and spacious and the bathroom was nice.
There isn't an elevator available so if you are on the 3rd floor like we were, be prepared to pull your bags up the stairs.
Be sure to book a paid breakfast with your room reservation. It was soooo good and one of the best meals we had in 2 weeks. A good breakfast gave us the energy to tackle a busy day.
Kinsale is a lovely town and even mid-week on a foggy fall day, we loved walking around.
Highly recommend. Spent a week travelling around Cork on holiday, stayed two nights here in Kinsale. Lovely spacious room with balcony overlooking harbour, a nicer room than you would get in most hotels. Location couldn’t be better, in the centre of kinsale. Owner Anne very friendly and helpful, recommended best cafes and restaurants. Clean & spotless with great facilities. We really liked the coffee maker & shared living room to relax and read a book. Would recommend anyone staying in Kinsale to stay here.
We had a very enjoyable 1 night stay during our road trip of Ireland
The accommodation was very good. High end, comfortable and clean
Very helpful receptionist on arrival.
No parking at the hotel but the car park is about 5 minutes walk and it was free
The location is superb. Lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants and lots of venues playing Irish music.
We loved Kinsale.
Would highly recommend the lovely walk to the fort.
Thank you
nice clean bright room. We overlooked a childrens playground which was quite noisy. The location is brilliant, and can walk to the centre in a few minutes. On the night of arrival we didnt eat out. There was a chipper a couple of doors up (Dino's) Would go back just for their fish and chips. Weather was lovely. We had a wedding in the Trident Hotel, which was on the doorstep so a very enjoyable experience in Kinsale.
Everything:
Staff - very friendly, we felt special guests.
Food - best fish and chips ever. Massive choice of dishes for main course in the dinner menu. Kings breakfast - continental and full Irish. Portions are really big. Best combination of price and quality.
Room - big and lovely, Oyster Haven view.
Park around hotel. Nice walk down to the rocky beach
Gym facilities, spa, jacuzzi, swimming pool and sauna
We had an excellent stay at Blind Gate House! Lily and the rest of the staff are very friendly and accommodating for their guests. Our room was quite comfortable with plenty of space. Breakfast was delicious, especially the smoked salmon.
We were only able to spend one night in Kinsale during our trip, but we’d stay at Blind Gate House again in a heartbeat!
Spacious bedroom with super king bed and plenty of comfy pillows! Breakfast was grand- excellent kippers! Staff were super friendly and helped us immensely, when we had a minor accident with a wheel. They were great with our small dog, and offered advice about walks etc Hotel has easy parking and is a short distance to the town.
The breakfast was top class and served. Our room was v spacious and spotlessly clean. Everything was explained covid wise when we checked in and we felt v safe there. It was v well done. If we needed anything extra, which we didn't, we were told not to hesitate to ask. As its a small hotel it was v personable which was lovely.
The design and attention to detail, as well as effort put in the little (but noticeable) amenities the owner has granted his guests, made this stay an exceptionally pleasant travel destination. Located near plenty of Kinsales best Pubs, Restaurants and leisure locations, it is the perfect get-away for a trip to Kinsale.
Really lovely boutique hotel with a great location in the heart of Kinsale. Lovely room, very clean and a good size. The shower was wonderful, great water pressure,, water always hot. Very good breakfast, anything we wanted was provided with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended by me
What a fantastic hotel. We enjoyed everything about our stay. All staff went above and beyond, The breakfast was amazing and the lunch at Sydney's was fantastic.
The rooms were spacious, spotless and comfortable with a great the shower.
Harbour view room was exactly that. Stunning.
Onsite free parking too.
Room a little tired, Black Clothing unit a little battered, carpet badly stained
Spa hotel would expect Robe and Slippers in the room for the price we paid
Food excellent, Staff Excellent, Views amazing!
In the end we stayed at the Blue Haven Hotel (a sister-hotel) due to maintenance at the Old Bank Town House where the hotel staff was very friendly and nice. They made sure we had a great time there as well.
Peter is a wonderful host. He carried our heavy bags up to our room. The hotel is located very conveniently in town, we could walk everywhere. Breakfast was delicious and served by a charming assistant.
Very nice hotel, in a great location. Near to the harbor, lots of restaurants (Fishy Fishy!), shops, and a sweet bookstore that turns into a wine bar at night.
