We stayed here for one night for a wedding. Again not being able to check in until 3pm is ridiculous. We arrived the day of the wedding and luckily we were able to use a friend's room to change in but other guests from the wedding had to change in the toilets. The hotel is in a lovely setting but... more

Was there for a romantic weekend recently. I've been to a few Carlton hotel around the world but this wouldn't rate highly. Arrived at 13.00pm to be told by receptionist that rooms aren't ready until 15.00pm!! First hotel in the world I've heard that before - maybe they should put that on their website. I asked why then does the... more

We have literally only just returned back from a two night stay in the Carlton Hotel in Kinsale. We were a little concerned about the negative feedback of the visitors who had received poor service but I can seriously say that the Hotel must have taken a big turn in the right direction. The staff could not have been more... more

Myself & hubbie have stayed at the Carlton twice now and been for a few meals there, even though its only a 20 minute drive from home. I find the hotel so relaxing and beautiful I will continue to go there for a relaxing break close to home. The pool area is lovely and all staff that we have encountered... more

I was recently dining in the Carlton Hotel in Kinsale, and I have to say it left me totally disappointed. We had booked a meal for up to 30 people and i'm afraid the staff all of which were not Irish were simply not able to manage. The bar felt like a residents bar where you go at the end... more

We booked the Carlton Kinsale as it was offering a 2 night B+B and 1 dinner deal + also the B + B accommodation in Kinsale town is unbelievably expensive!! I was a bit concerned as some of the reviews on tripadvisor had commented on rude/unhelpful staff. When we arrived we were welcomed by a friendly receptionist (not Irish) but... more

We arrived on Friday in time for the start of the rugby 7's weekend. The reception team, although busy, were extremely friendly and helpfull. We were escourted to our room by the nicest porter I have ever come across. Our room did not have a view of the bay but the car park and waterfall. This was OK as it... more
