One of kinsales hidden treasures. Wonderful staff, a breakfast to remember, rooms to be proud of.

The Old Presbytery has everything; excellent location, delicious breakfasts, parking lot, authentically friendly innkeepers. We loved our town view from the top floor. We had a very spacious room and bath. Noreen and Phillip are such naturals. They obviously enjoy what they do and really make you feel at home. We wish we could have stayed longer than two nights. If you want the best B & B in Kinsale--stay here.

The Old Presbytery has been a B&B for many years, but originally it was a Presbytery housing Kinsale's clergy. Our room was overlooking Cork Street and was quite small, with a brass bed and small ensuite but beautifully decorated to suit the era of the building and very comfortable. It is centrally located so you can easily walk around the town and down to the river. The breakfast was one of the best we had in 3 weeks travelling around Ireland. A wonderful fruit salad with at least 6 different fruits, a buffet of various quality cereals with yoghurt and prunes and a large choice of hot breakfasts to choose from in the menu. And of course a choice of coffees and teas. There is also off road parking provided. The only negative would be the shower. Because of the solar tubes (an environmental positive) the hot water takes a while to arrive, but if you are aware in advance you won't stand there thinking there is no hot water. We would definitely stay there again if visiting Kinsale in the future.

We just spent four nights at the Old Pres and can't find the right words to express how wonderful it was!! Phillip and Noreen are far more than inn-keepers. By the time we left, we felt like we were leaving old friends. The location is perfect - close to everything in town. We walked everywhere! The rooms are quaint, cozy and the bed so comfy it was hard to get up in the morning. And those breakfasts....what a true treat served beautifully in a lovely dining room. I never needed lunch!

I would definitely go back to Kinsale just for the opportunity to visit with Noreen and Phillip and stay in their lovely B&B. Thanks for a truly memorable visit!
