Top Kinsale Hotel Reviews

Actons Hotel

Actons Hotel

8/10 Good
"We treated ourselves to a harbour view room which was nice but it does also look over the car park. We also chose it because we thought it had a private pool for residents - but in reality it is a public pool that hotel residents are allowed to use. Be prepared to share it with children's swimming lessons! The photos on the hotel site look like it is a spa pool just for us. The breakfast is AMAZING and the bed was super comfy."
