Outstanding hotel

We arrived on Saturday 15th not realising we had booked for the following day. However Audrey on reception had no problem in sorting out the issue and gave us an excellent room at the same price. The hotel itself is ultramodern and is close to 5 stars with a great pool and gym, good grounds and outstanding views over the sea inlet. The restaurant is top quality offering a fixed three course dinner for 30 Euros and the breakfast buffet is very good. This hotel is a hidden gem close to the well worth visiting town of Kinsale, another little gem!

Nice hotel right on the bay

Pros: Reasonable price in the off season. Good location. Facility is nice and fairly well kept. Rooms are nice.
Cons: Nothing big stands out for glaring improvement
Location: 5-10 min from Kinsale. Fantastic food in the town.
This place is a very nice hotel. We visited during Sept which is their slower season and the prices are much cheaper. I would suspect that it is well worth the money during high time but it is definitely worth it in the slower times. Its only about a 5-10 min bus ride (they have a shuttle bus). Front desk staff was fantastic and very friendly.
