“Way "Up Town" in Kinsale”

Our host John met us in front of the Spar down in the village and escorted up, up, up a little mountain overlooking the town. The accomodation is in a lovely residential neighborhood, so you truly feel like a house guest, not like you're staying in a hotel. We walked through a beautiful great room with lots of glass out to a breathtaking view down the mountain -- you looked past the palm trees (YES!! Palm Trees in IRELAND!) and over the beautiful swimming pool down to the village and water below.

We sat out in this garden and enjoyed a welcome drink with John as he told us what not to miss down in the Village; he also told us a great, legal and FREE place to park, which was quite a find in the lively village center. When we were ready to return from dinner, we were a little worried that we wouldn't recognize the house as all the residences are similarly walled and Serenaville has no sign out front. We were guided to the right house by their charming (and somewhat aged) Labrador Retriever, who waits on the sidewalk by the driveway to greet the guests! Apparently she knows if someone is staying and chooses to wait up for them!!!

Our rooms were beautifully decorated (the bathrooms quite luxurious and big), incredibly comfortable, and very private. The breakfast was cooked by our host and delicious. The only problem with our stay was that it was too short. We wouldn't think of staying anyplace else in Kinsale!

    • Liked — The warm welcome by the host and his family, and FREE INTERNET. Many places in Ireland seem either not to have access, or to charge outrageously for it. It was great to catch up with what was going on at home.
    • Disliked — Really, there was nothing disagreeable.
    • Any tips/secrets for future travellers? — You really must book ahead for Serenaville. There is no sign on the street because they do not wish to accomodate people who have not booked ahead.

A very relaxing stay. Our first, but it wont be our last. Our daughters new mobile fell down a manhole in the town and of course was not useable. The following morning thanks to John the proprietor after much time and patience the mobile was back in action. Where would one get this service. Thanks John and Gina. See you again. Keep up the good work.

Serenaville is an outstanding bed and breakfast establishment.
The quality of the accomodation, food,service,and genuine Irish hospitality provided by the host John Murphy is second to none.
My wife and I will certainly tell all our friends about this excellent B@B.

We stayed one night with John and his family on the way to Baltimore as part of our two week honeymoon in Ireland. John was most friendly and helpful, to the extent that when we came down for breakfast in the morning he gave us a wedding card that he had made for us on the computer - above and beyond! Our clean and comfortable room was just two metres from the heated pool on the patio so we just had to go for a swim before a hearty and delicious breakfast. If you like to chat and feel part of the family, this is the place to stay.
