“An excellent home base; filled with hospitality, good advice and genuine warmth”
I stayed at Kilcaw House for four nights with my travel partner, and we have nothing but good things to say about the place! Christine, the proprietor, is supremely attentive to the needs of her guests and always has good advice. The other staff are friendly and efficient; they all do a fine job of making their guests feel at home.
The facilities are well-kept, the house is of modern construction and the rooms are painted in cheerful colors. Our rooms were tidied daily, towels replaced, beds made up, and the in-room tea and coffee facilities were replenished. This level of service is lacking even at many hotels!
Compared to most B&Bs in Kinsale, even without the magnificent staff, Kilcaw House is an excellent value!
One note of caution: as the guesthouse is about 1.5km from town along a narrow road, this guesthouse may be inconvenient for those who lack their own transportation. It's theoretically possible to walk along the road, but there is no shoulder for part of the route and it might be a bit dangerous to do so.
