Long Quay House

10/10 Excellent
"This is a historic building in the centre of Kinsale. We were very pleased with the extremely large room on the ground floor. Breakfast was also very good. Peter, the host and owner, was very accommodating and helpful. He shared some interesting family history with us including about the establishment. Restaurants, pubs and stores are literally just down the street. Parking can be scarce when the tour buses are in town but you will find something (the lot across the street is free from 6pm until 1030 am). The town settles down in the evening. I highly recommend the Long Quay If you like old style B&B."

"Very clean and beautiful hotel. But, be aware there are no elevators or Air Conditioning. Our room was beautiful and had a little family room too. But it was a bit hot. They had 3 fans and that took off the edge. If you are coming with many suitcases, this may not be a good fit. Was very close to everything . Great location Kind staff. The breakfast was very good.
