Celebrating my husband's 60th birthday and we couldn't have chosen a better hotel in our opinion. The room was spotless (I'm very fussy), the hotel staff were lovely and friendly....they really seemed to be happy in their jobs. We had bed & breakfast, which was probably one of the nicest breakfasts we've ever had in a hotel. The food was fresh and the choice was brilliant. The kippers were to die for. Although we had a lot of rain, it didn't spoil our stay in Kinsale and would definitely...
