Kinsale is a gorgeous town by the sea near Cork city and near the airport. It has great food and culture and lovely shops. There are lots of opportunities to take boat trips. The hotels are lovely and surrounding scenic places gorgeous.

Kinsale is a cute little town. Beware. Not easy to drive in.
Kinsale is a cute little town. Beware. Not easy to drive in. Good place to spend a few days.We used it as a base for going to Mizen head, Baltimore and other places south of Cork.
Also note, and this is very common in Ireland, don't get up a the crack of dawn and expect to find a place open for breakfast. A few opened at 8 but more often opened at 9 and even 10. Earlier than 9 were few and far between. Those that are tend to be crowded for obvious reasons.

It was disastrous, my wife decided to go down the town for a walk around as she was walking she noticed foreigners watching her every move and they then started to pair up and follow her, she felt so threatened that she had to go into spar shop and wait for me to collect her. Would never visit there again.

Kinsale is a fantastic town for a weekend away.
Kinsale is a fantastic town for a weekend away. There are several excellent restaurants where you will have unforgettable experiences. The Black Pig and Finns Farmcut are amazing. Breakfast can be hit or miss, The Lemon Leaf and OHK were excellent. If the weather allows the walk out to Charles Fort is lovely, with a pint of Murphy’s at the Bulmans. The views at the Old Head of Kinsale are breathtaking, and Garretstown Beach is stunning. The tour and tasting at Kinsale Mead is fascinating and a unique highlight. Be careful choosing where to stay, as standards are not reflected by star ratings, and the centre can be noisy. Parking is challenging with two hour max at the central car park, better at SuperValu but you’ll need to move your car overnight.

We arrived later in the evening but were welcomed wonderfully. If you drive to the hotel, know that parking is only what you find on the street. Our room was lovely and spacious and the bathroom was nice.
There isn't an elevator available so if you are on the 3rd floor like we were, be prepared to pull your bags up the stairs.
Be sure to book a paid breakfast with your room reservation. It was soooo good and one of the best meals we had in 2 weeks. A good breakfast gave us the energy to tackle a busy day.
Kinsale is a lovely town and even mid-week on a foggy fall day, we loved walking around.
Peter and Rasa were excellent hosts - attentive, helpful. The location was terrific. The facilities were great with the best shower I’ve had in a hotel. The bed and pillows were perfectly comfortable and breakfast was very nice. Try the poached eggs! Staff was very good. We will definitely return and I recommend Long Quay House to anyone planning a trip to Kinsale.
One of the best Irish breakfasts I ever had in a hotel. The dinner in the evening was excellent. Both the bar and the restaurant where busy both nights that we stayed and the staff where very friendly and cheerful with everyone. Shower in room was very good and the bed very comfortable.
A pleasant hotel to stay in. Would be happy to return sometime in the future.
We had an excellent stay at Blind Gate House! Lily and the rest of the staff are very friendly and accommodating for their guests. Our room was quite comfortable with plenty of space. Breakfast was delicious, especially the smoked salmon.
We were only able to spend one night in Kinsale during our trip, but we’d stay at Blind Gate House again in a heartbeat!
Lovely welcome from all staff. Room was spotless and comfortable. Best breakfast experience. The pancakes and fried breakfast were amazing! Only stayed one night but would stay longer in the future if visiting Cork again. Two parents and two children in a family room worked well. My 7 year old said he liked our “hotel house” the best.
The design and attention to detail, as well as effort put in the little (but noticeable) amenities the owner has granted his guests, made this stay an exceptionally pleasant travel destination. Located near plenty of Kinsales best Pubs, Restaurants and leisure locations, it is the perfect get-away for a trip to Kinsale.
Hidden gem in the best town in Ireland. We could not recommend this place more. Clean towels and fresh water every day. Service impeccable. Better than a five star hotel. This is our new go to place any time in Ireland. Hats off to to you Pat and Ann.
We had a wonderful stay at the K Kinsale. It's a lovely small boutique hotel 5 mins walk from the centre of Kinsale. Melissa was a brilliant host who was on hand should we need anything and also gave us some great recommendations of things to do.
Room a little tired, Black Clothing unit a little battered, carpet badly stained
Spa hotel would expect Robe and Slippers in the room for the price we paid
Food excellent, Staff Excellent, Views amazing!
Peter is a wonderful host. He carried our heavy bags up to our room. The hotel is located very conveniently in town, we could walk everywhere. Breakfast was delicious and served by a charming assistant.
Great character to the hotel. Comfortable, warm, great location and the shower was the best shower of any hotel/venue we have ever stayed in. All in all it was great value so 10 out of 10. ⭐️
The Kinsale Hotel and Spa was fantastic the staff are so friendly especially in the spa and treatment rooms. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food was lovely.
