The property itself is in a good location, but they have NO parking near the property. Not even to pay for. We were told absolutely no early check in or dropping our bags off because owner/manager feels his staff cannot get job done right if he does. He told us to drive a quarter mile away and wait for a spot to open up (took 20 minutes). He tells you can park across the street if you can find a space (you cannot after 11 AM) and if you it is only 2 hours. For US $450 a night that is unacceptable. It is not a 4 star hotel, more of a glorified B&B. The breakfast if very good and rooms are clean and good sized. Just not acceptable on the parking.

Wonderful family-run place, just a block from the heart of the village so easier to park etc. Solid breakfast served quickly. Do the Scilly walk!

This is the perfect location to spend time in Kinsale. The staff is extremely professional, attentive, and curious. The rooms are spacious, clean and well furnished. The breakfast was outstanding. Long Quay House is an old Georgian manor house located within a few minutes walk to many great pubs and restaurants. While the House doesn’t provide parking, there is a large public parking lot across the street (on the end of the quay).

Unique to the property was skeleton key to open and lock your room. Was great walkability to the whole town including pubs for dinner, fresh produce stores and pharmacy, not to mention a couple of different off licenses. Would recommend The Blue Haven for dinner - the seafood chowder was the best I've ever had. The bed was pretty firm though so we both woke up sore. Breakfast tables weren't necessarily set-up to accommodate all the guests so we happily invited an American couple to join us. Was great to hear about their tours and activities. Parking was on the street in front of the hotel. Would've done a harbour boat tour if we'd had more time.

For the money, the room was small, the breakfast was meager, and no private parking. We traveled around Ireland and found this stay the most dollars for the least worth. However, the staff was delightful and the location ideal. Kinsale is really magical and definitely recommend.

Very pleasant, comfortable place. The family which owns and runs it are very friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast and great coffee. The only complaint is that there is no unloading zone or parking. We were directed to free parking about a block away which worked out fine.

The staff was welcoming. The hotel room was very basic. No air conditioning though so we had to open the windows. Very noisy outside until about 1:30 am. Bed was a full size so my husband and I had to cozy up. A little too small for us and we are not big people. The location was great. I don’t think it was worth the price.

Very helpful host gave us lots of useful information next morning. Lovely breakfast though off menu (vegetarian) options could have been explained. Great room and very central. Would definitely recommend.

Great location if it wasn’t right on a main road coming/going from town. It was noisy during the day but not so much at night. We had a nice big room which unfortunately was right at ground level so sidewalk and road noise was prominent as it was just a couple of meters away. ***this was probably our error in not reading the SMALL print saying it was a ‘street view’ room. The proprietor says it can’t control what Expedia displays about their property, so perhaps it is Expedia’s fault. The staff was extremely nice and everything else was great.
