“Very nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

The Insiara B&B was our last stay during our Ireland-Tour (unfortunately we only spent the one night) and we found it not only very pleasant but the warmth and kindness of our hosts made us feel at home. It made a long and busy day seem like a bagatelle at last. Insiara B&B is located in a nice countryside and even though its not too far from the airport it is very quiet. Although the B&B itself seemed to have rather thin walls. The rooms were clean and furnished nice and comfortable. The bathroom was new and clean. Since we had to leave to Cork airport very early the next morning we didn't experience breakfast but on our arrival day we were being served some lovely treats for tea.
We want to say thank you for all the suppport and caring atmosphere.

“Insiara is an exceptionally fine B&B, with owners so excellent they provided breakfast whenever WE wanted it.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010

Eileen and John, proprietors, gave thoughtful tourist information and accurate, simple road directions. Eileen even provided our room with wine glasses upon seeing an emply bottle in the trash. Insiara was recommended to us by friends and we will pass that recommendation on to others. This is a truly exceptional B&B, especially for Eileen's and John's gracious hospitaliry.

“Irish B&B hospitality plus!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

I can't add anything to the previous enthusiastic reviews. A friend had recommended it to me as she stays there on a regular basis - now I know why!
Well placed for access to Cork Airport (took me about 10 minutes) and a short drive to Kinsale
Eileen offered to help me get into Kinsale.. I did drive there myself, finally, but I appreciated the gesture.
On top of all the positives given of staying at Insiara I was able to play with her daughter's collie puppy when, typical puppy, she came over to see what was going on this was a bonus as I was missing my own dog.
I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when I next visit the area.

“Fantastic Bed and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

Insiara was easily the best B&B we stayed at over a 6 week period through Europe. It is easy to find; close to cork airport. The room was large and comfortable with excellent bathroom facilities. Breakfast was superb and our gracious hosts could not have been more welcoming, friendly or helpful. We highly recommend Insiaria.

“Simply the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2010

If carlsberg made B&Bs........
We have travelled far and wide and this B&B has definately stood out among any of the other hotels or B&B's we have ever stayed in. Everything about this place was fantastic; the hospitality of the homeowners; the food; the comfort of the rooms; and the peaceful location. The rooms were huge and each morning we recevied an super breakfast. Also it was great to come home in the evening time to enjoy a relaxing powershower. The B&B is in a classical irish coutryside setting, with easy access to cork city, the airport and the beautiful fishing village of kinsale (which is the gourmet capital of Ireland).The rooms were spotless and the price is very reasonalbe, in fact the quality of our stay far outweighted the price we paid. If we ever come to Ireland again, you can be sure that I will return to Insiara B&B. This B&B is highly recommended.
