“Clean room, but a very steep climb from town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2011

Our room at Danabel was small but very clean and the beds were very good. We also chose this location because of the advertised short walk to town, but did not realize the walk was down and then back up a VERY steep hill that would be a challenge for anyone not in fairly good physical condition. We were disappointed in the greeting we received from the hostess. She seemed hurried and curt and did not seem pleased that we arrived at 2:30 PM, even though we just wanted to drop off our luggage and then walk into town. She informed us that guests were usually expected between 4:00 and 6:00 PM.

“A nice stay in a comfortable B&B.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2010

My Girlfriend and I stayed here in July of 2009. The rooms are small, but comfortable and while others have commented on the size of the bathrooms, they are quite standard for European bathrooms. We usually left early in the morning and returned later in the evening, so our interactions with the hosts was limited, by they were very friendly during breakfast and helped give directions when were leaving. It is a very short walk to the center of town, but there is a very steep hill to walk down. It does have a hand rail you can hold while walking down, but if you have mobility problems, I wouldn't recommend it. Overall, I'd recommend this B&B to anyone going to Kinsale. We had a great time!

“Good location - ok room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2010

THE GOOD: The location is good, very short walk to town, it is up a short, but steep hill. The beds are super comfortable. If you get the right room, the view is beautiful.
THE BAD: Room and bathroom are TINY, the shower pressure was not good, and the hostess was very rushed & curt.

“Lovely stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2008

I thought the Danabel was a good value and a very nice B&B. After staying in hotels in city centers, this was a nice change of scenery. The location is excellent and I agree with the other posters -- it is a short walk down a VERY steep hill. We had a double room and my parents had a double/single. While I wouldn't say they were spacious, I thought we both had plenty of room. This is someone's home after all. Phil was very welcoming and served a wonderful breakfast. The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. We had a room in the back of the house, so we had a lovely view of Kinsale and the water. My only criticism would probably have been the low water pressure in the shower. Overall we had a good nights sleep, a great breakfast and a convenient location. What more do you need?

  • Liked — comfortable room
  • Disliked — low water pressure
