We liked our stay in Actons. Nice harbour view rooms. Compliments to house keeping. Food in the bar was good, the lighing was too bright which stole the ambiance otherwise all good. Good breakfast. Worth noting that vegan options around town in restaurants were very bad but Actons have a limited vegan menu, but at least they have one and it is good.

Kinsale is a very beautiful town and it is a bit on the pricey side because of its “foodie capital of Ireland” reputation. With that said, Actons Hotel is overall lovely. My issue was that on the night we stayed there was a wedding (maybe two) and the wedding crowd partied until about 5am, moving in and out of rooms, socializing in the halls, and being very loud. Repeated attempts were made to get them and/or the front desk to put an end to it, but it never happened. Quite a shame because this is a nice hotel. But for the price we paid to get no sleep is really unacceptable.

I was fortunate enough to get a room here. It was far more luxurious than what I had paid for. At one point I ordered room service and they forgot to ask for my room number. When I called back later they apologized profusely and then comped the meal. They didn’t have to do that. The care for the customer is top notch
