Beara Way Tours and Activities

This is an old hotel that is being updated. My room was completely modern as was the bath. Both the room and bath had opening windows! The location is great, about 7 minutes walk from the train station, 5 minutes to the bus station and 5-10 minutes to the city center. The only glitch I encountered was when I tried to take the stairs instead of the one elevator - that's when I discovered that not all of the hotel has been renovated yet. The pathway to use the stairs was a bit disjointed and involved two different sets of stairs that seemed to be from two different eras.

The rooms might benefit from netted screen/curtain on the windows along with the heavy black out curtains, just to add some privacy

I love Kinsale. This was my first stay at the Old Bank and I loved it too. Magical to sit and look out over this very pretty town and harbour from the window seat in my beautifully appointed room. I’ve never had a better breakfast than the one included; fresh fruit salad (good variety, perfect quality), eggs Benedict (golden yolks and perfectly poached, perfect ham and proper artisan bread toasted, chef quality hollandaise) and a blueberry muffin(with a surprise centre), everything top quality and fresh, nothing over processed or artificial, or over sugared or over salted. And proper tea of course. The breakfast alone made me wish I stayed longer. I even found a parking space out the front. The whole package, superb.
