The location was perfect. We had a harbour view room - each with little deck to see the boats directly in front of hotel and clear view of the fort in the distance. You can not get closer to the bay. It is only about a 10 minute walk to downtown Kinsale, you can drive and park a little closer... more

Pros: Great location, lovely view of the harbor, parking (though tricky) Cons: Lacking customer service. Owner (assumed it was owner b/c the receptionist had to "discuss" our bill with her) was not friendly in the least bit. The house had 9 rooms, but it felt like we were staying in some large hotel with no customer service, as opposed to... more

We recently returned from the Harbour Lodge guesthouse in Kinsale. I almost didn't recognise it when I read previous reviews, however, our stay was perfect. The rooms have everything you could want - and the view was amazing. There was even a decanter of port in our room when we arrived, and every evening chocolates arrived together with a weather... more

We stayed there last year and my fiance wanted to re-visit this year as the view is lovely and the master bedroom was very spacious. I wasn't as keen because I found the owners diffident and quite cold. However, I booked the master suite and we... more

My friend and I stayed here very recently for 4 nights. Initially our impressions were very good - the rooms are lovely, the champagne and chocolates on arrival are a lovely touch as are the bathrobes and slippers, not to mention the beautiful views. However, we were very disappointed with the attitude and manner of the (what we assumed was... more

I have returned from a two night stay at the Harbour Lodge, Kinsale. I had booked it as a treat for my Mother. When I arrived I waited for over a half an hour at reception. I rang the bell several times and phoned the landline about four times – but to no avail there was no staff to be... more

Came across this place by chance and have now stayed here a few times always had a good experience it's more like a small hotel with big rooms, En Suite, bathrobes, Small balcony etc. Breakfast is very good and the breakfast room has one of the nicest views in Kinsale. It is a short walk from the town were there... more

We lucked into staying at the Harbour Lodge after some other accommodation we had booked didn't work out. Lucky us! The service was excellent, starting at the front desk. Check in at the last minute was handled with ease. We were offered champagne in the lounge in front of the roaring fire while having a lovely conversation with the manager.... more
