Top Desmond Castle Hotel Reviews

Perryville House

Perryville House

10/10 Excellent
"This was maybe the best hotel we’ve ever stayed. It is truly a special unique place. It’s like you step into a time warp of old time elegance and charm. The house itself has the cutest stairways, rugs, paintings and nooks and crannies that you can’t wait to see around every corner. The room itself was large and luxurious. And the staff was so friendly and helpful. But the breakfast is what seals the deal- white tablecloths, fresh flowers, and a gourmet menu that was so delicious. Fresh scones to start the meal. Amazing. One of the best hotels I’ve ever experienced! book it!"

Blue Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Blue Haven is a fantastic hotel with very good rooms and facilities in the hotel rooms, and decor which is full of character in a superb location close to the Main Street and in the middle of Kinsale. The only criticism I would have would be the breakfast seemed limited in its offering and there weren’t many staff in the ground floor restaurant in the morning. Otherwise the Reception staff were excellent and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel!"

"A great location to explore Kinsale. The apartment is great for a family stay where you can self cater but are also close to all the bars, cafes and restaurant. Good parking spot. The bunk bed room would benefit from a blackout blind because of the outside security lights at night."
