We stayed here more than once, the first time it was quiet and we were upgraded and had a wonderful room. The most recent felt like standards had slipped. We were greeted by a teenage boy on arrival and none of the complimentary goodies were forthcoming, we eventually mentioned the champagne, and got 2 glasses. The place is beautiful, but... More

Stayed here in July of the summer for an overnight business trip with my two brothers. We stayed in a 'suite'. It was a double room attached to what was a living room with a horrible camp bed set up. It was directly next to the breakfast room. The bathroom was fairly good and the beds were okay. The view... More

We were promised complimentary champagne on arrival....we got none, only very sour faces :( The breakfast was awful...it was half cooked on all 4 of our mornings,raw sausages and sloppy scrambled eggs are not a nice greeting first thing in the morning. Service was appalling, there was no chef on hand for that promised Gormet Food or handmade chocs, in... More

Spent one night at Habour Lodge in July 09. We found ourselves arriving at the Guesthouse very early in the morning, following the night ferry crossing to Dublin and a 3 hour drive . The owner was kind enough to let us check in early, allowing us to freshen up and fully enjoy our day. She even offered us a... More

My husband and I stayed here during a trip to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. The view from their communal outdoor area is the best view of Kinsale, the harbour and the surrounding area you can get because of the hotels strategic location. While they are not located immediately in Kinsale, it is a very easly and pleasant walk to... More

I chose Habour Lodge for its promised view and its quieter location. I was not disappointed. I was traveling with a friend and we both felt our hostess was charming. She was concerned with our comfort and treated us to champagne on the patio where we relaxed in the tranquility of the harbor. Later, when I realized I had brought... More

Have you ever booked accomodation online only to be contacted soon after to say that your confirmed booking was canceled? After spending a considerable amount of time searching the internet to find suitable accomodation in Kinsale, I booked a 2 night stay at the Harbour Lodge. It was difficult to book for two consequitive nights in Kinsale this particular weekend.... More

I am a psychologist from Chapel Hill, NC, USA. My wife and I, along with our 16 year old daughter, stayed 2 nights at the Harbour Lodge in July 2009. We loved it. The view from the front deck is incredible and we enjoyed sitting and watching the boats. My 16 year old daughter had a very bad cold and... More

Harbour Lodge is in a perfect location. Fabulous views from the best vantage point in town. Our room fronted onto the harbour, and had a small balcony to sit out on. The breakfasts were deliciously light and sophisticated ... a refreshing change from the usual hotel food. Totally peaceful and non-corporate. And it benefitted from being a short walk from... More
