We were in Kinsale for 1 night while touring Ireland for a week. Kinsale is gorgeous and Pier House enjoys a very central location. This was our most expensive B&B by far and we were expecting something quite special. The facilities such as Hot tub, Sauna, Ice machine and Guest Lounge were there as promised, as was the verandah off... more

Spent one night at the Pier House during our whirlwind tour of Ireland. The little harborside town is lovely and the Pier House is in the perfect location. The rooms are pretty small but nicely decorated and the bathroom barely big enough to turn around in, but the location, host, and breakfast made the stay pretty nice. There is a... more

From looking at their web site, I expected a charming little "Boutique Hotel". Little was the operative word. The rooms were no larger than the "hard as a rock" bed! There literally was no place to put our suitcases. The place had no charm, carpets were worn, it was if they tried to pack as many rooms as possible in... more

It was a nice B&B but the price was too high for what you got. The hot-tub was broken, there was dust in the glasses in the room. The next night we stayed in a lovely hotel with a swimming pool etc. for the same price (200 euros). more

Stayed here for the easter weekend 2008, found it great. Good location, nice rooms (suites were), breakfast was freshly cooked each morning, Nothing was to much trouble for Ann the host. would reccomend anyone to stay here if visiting Kinsale more

I will second most other reviews posted here and reiterate- our stay at the Pier House B&B was just lovely. My father, boyfriend and I arrived after a thrilling ;) ;) bus ride from Cork and were dropped on the walk just next to the B&B. The Pier House gate appeared suddenly like a scene from 'The Secret Garden.' We... more

Ann the owner is one of the warmest people you could meet. Nothing is too much trouble. Ask for room 1 as it has a balcony with the best view. Breakfast is excellent with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon at no extra cost. The decor is boutique style and very tasteful. No bar but ice machine with buckets and glasses... more

Located in the centre of colourful Kinsale and close to the harbour, we had a lovely 2 night stay at this fantastic B&B. The room was a good size, well kept and modern. The staff were friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. There was a good selection of breakfasts available and in good supply - they definitely set us up for the... more

My only regret for staying at the Pier House is that we didn't stay for 2 nights. We had a long day of traveling from Dublin to Kinsale and arrived at the Pier House at 7pm. The rooms were perfect, big, clean, airy, all with a small outside patio. The hosts were great, very friendly and breakfast was perfect as... more
