Beautiful location, comfortable room, friendly and accommodating staff. There was a wedding taking place when we arrived, right in reception next to check in which made it awkward to use shared space. Food was good, but service was slow

Beautiful resort like hotel just outside kinsale. While you have to drive to get to town, this is fairly easy to do. The views and service are great. Rooms are very nice. The gym and pool facilities are very nice, though open to the public (swim lessons etc).

Property was beautiful, staff was lovely, room was average (floor/ tiles in the bathroom were loose) flashing in the shower was in need of repair. Food, not so great for a hotel that is supposed to be a superior stay.

Great hotel
Great stay. Helpful staff. Little things at this level matter though - answering the phone when you’re in the middle of checking someone in isn’t a great look. And the room was uncomfortably warm, even with windows open or AC on max. The views on the other side would’ve been stunning looking East over Oyster Haven. West-facing you just have a car park. Request level 3 on the left (odd-numbered rooms I think). Bar menu was decent. Waiting staff there were brilliant!!!

Found it a long way and inconvenient to go to Kinsale. Limited amenities. Views were wonderful. Grounds were nice to walk. Unfortunately the weather was poor and i could see this would be a wonderful place in better weather.
