This B&B provides all the amenities you are looking for in Kinsale. The breakfast was outstanding, and the host provides two in-house computers for use by the guests. It is an easy walk to restaurants and pubs. The host went out of her way to provide us with a snack when we arrived because we had not had lunch as... More

We usually don't stay in B and B's, but were recommended the Old Presbytery by some friends and we were not disappointed . It's a 1 minute walk to the centre but in a quiet area and has private parking (I can't stress enough the value of this in a town like Kinsale ) The family that owns it are... More

We stayed here for two nights and had a great welcome with tea and cake in a lovely antique filled room. I highly recommend the home made jam! The room and bathroom were very small, but enough room for two people. Unfortunately, it was also very noisy. You could hear absolutely everything from the fan in the bathroom next door... More

Just back from a romantic week-end in Kinsale and we loved Kinsale and Old Presbytery. Our room was spotlessly clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed and beautiful claw foot bath. Breakfasts were mouth-watering – it was such a treat to have fresh fish for breakfast. Philip and Noreen were very friendly and welcoming without being in any way... More

When I read other reviews about "quiet, comfortable, etc." I wonder if we were just unlucky to get room #1. We were here for two nights and I quickly wanted to cancel the second night and find something else. We debated and decided that with Ambien we could tolerate the second night (hated to pack up again and search). Here... More

Beautiful B&B with a great breakfast. Pretty rooms but small with paper thing walls. Prepared to be "disturbed" by showers, doors being opened (the locks are hard work) and shut (more like slammed), people talking, breathing,etc. Staff is very friendly and the place is spotless. So if you can sleep through the disturbances then by all means, stay here. More

This place is just 1 block from the main street. Our room was large and had a jacuzie tub ( not sure this. Was worth the extra cost since we didn't use it ). Breakfast was prepared to order. Room was quiet and clean. It was a good stay. More

This is a great location in the heart of Kinsale. Walking distance from the best Restaurants and harbor. We did stay in a VERY small room at first as all rooms were occupied. HOWEVER, as we are walking around we checked out other outstanding B&B's in the area that were the same quality but cost much less. and actually the... More

We loved it here. We stayed for three nights. The rooms are furnished with beautiful antiques, the owners are the nicest people, and the breakfasts are AMAZING!! There was lots of parking and it was very quiet and comfortable. We wouldn't think of staying anywhere else when we go back to Kinsale. More

we were 4 friends and shared the beautiful suite at 3rd floor which is on 2 levels and has 2 bedrooms, one kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a living room. Price is higher than standard b&b in Ireland, as we spent 180 € all together, but it is worth. Perfect position, in town, with private parking, very useful as it is... More
