Cute old property with basic rooms and wonderful pub/restaurant with fantastic food. Easy walk to all areas of Kenmare. Kenmare is a nice, clean small town.

Pros & Cons
Pros: Owners and restaurant servers were friendly and helpful. Location was good, close to town.Excellent food at the hotel restaurant.
Cons: Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Noise. No elevator - had to drag our luggage up and down 3 flights of stairs and staff to help (ages: 85, 79, 80, 68). Only 3 parking spots for entire hotel/restaurant and very little street parking available. Probably wouldn’t stay here again or recommend to friends.

This little family run establishment should be full each and every day. The rooms are spacious (there’s only 10) and super comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant downstairs - BEST meal we had on the trip. Absolutely loved our stay and we’re already planning our return trip!

Great value in Kinsale. Nice pub/restaurant on site, or you can walk to the heart of Kinsale in about 5 minutes. Parking is on-street but we found close parking both nights. Would stay there again!
