This guest house features free private parking, room service and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The location was lovely, walking distance to Kinsale town (although its at the top of the hill, so some might find it a little tough). There was plenty of free parking onsite aswell. The whole building was really well looked after the decor was warm, inviting, simple with a lovely classical twist and some beautiful pieces of furniture. It was a great first impression of the place, I will say. The owner was a lovely women, very friendly and as she has lived in the area quite a while, can provide guidance on what to see and do. The breakfast was really tasty, one of the best I have ever eaten at a B&B or hotel.
