Gave us a range of dinner recommendations and made reservations for us at a perfect restaurant. We were leaving early the next morning but Grainne was kind enough to arrange a walking tour of the city early next morning, even walking us down to city center to introduce us to the guide. Great way to end a 10 day tour of Ireland!!

We booked a room with a king sized bed and the accommodations were that of a 4 star hotel. The breakfast in the morning was made to order and the food and service was top notch. I'd recommend anyone to stay at the Desmond house when visiting Kinsale because of the location, service, and accommodations. We will be staying there again when we return.

We honeymooned in Ireland last October. We purchased a travel package and drove around the south…read morewest coast for a week, stopping at various towns along the way. One of our favorite stops was in Kinsale at The Old Presbytery. It was little nervewracking actually arriving there since it involved driving along Kinsale's RIDICULOUSLY narrow roads (see my photo of the front of their building - that is a two lane road!). But once we arrived we were extremely pleased with this unique and charming B&B. The owners were welcoming and wonderful, providing us with a hand drawn map of the town with recommendations of restaurants to try and things to do. They knew it was our honeymoon, and our bed had rose petals in the shape of a heart (see my photos) when we arrived. The room was large, with a separate sitting area and a small balcony overlooking their parking lot and the town. Our bathroom had one of those old fashioned, lion claw style bath tubs in addition to a shower. I, of course, had to make use of the tub! We did and saw a lot of things while in Ireland, but one of our best memories of the entire trip was buying cheap wine at the local Supervalue and drinking it on our room's balcony while watching the sun set. There was just something so relaxing and life affirming about that moment, smelling the peat smoke from nearby chimneys, listening to sea birds singing back and forth overhead. And of course, a review of a B&B can't be complete without rating the breakfast. This was also top notch. I had scrambled eggs made with local cheese which was so delicious. I posted a photo of the hubby's breakfast which included salmon in the shape of a rose (I know there is an actual name for this but I forget what it is). They also had this cereal & raisin soaked yogurt concoction that I've never had anywhere else, but sticks out in my mind to this day as being so uniquely delicious. If you're planning a stop in Kinsale, I highly recommend The Old Presbytery.

The breakfast that is included in your stay is 5-star worthy. Everything is made to order and homemade scones are ready for you as you wait for your breakfast. I had an egg sandwich and my wife had a seafood omelette. Rick Steves boasts about the Old Presbytery and he was right on with his recommendation. The Old Presbytery is within walking distance of shops, pubs, and the harbor. We would definitely stay there again.

This makes parking a trick, but if…read moreyou can find parking on the street in front, you can stay there all night if you pay the meter past 630pm. The facility was well cared for and nicely decorated. Check in is actually on the second floor in the reception office, unless they arent there, then you have to go down the street to the Blue Haven to check in. The carpet was so plush that the wheels on our roller bags would barely roll..lol. Our room was huge and inviting with great touches like bottles of water, towel warmer, and a deep large tub. Our room key was attached to a LARGE key ring which was uncomfortable to carry and the door handle was only for show, which took a minute to figure out. The elevator was tiny, but very much appreciated! The cafe downstairs had a good selection of breakfasts for guests and they made sure to address guests before walk in customers. This place was a real treat and we would love to stay here if we make it back to Kinsale.
