The location was perfect for exploring Kinsale. Everything was close enough to walk to. The staff were great - friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was a great way to start the day and the number of choices incredible. You could have just juice or tea or coffee and yoghurt or some fabulous cooked options. Also like that there was a pool and workout facility and parking at the hotel

It was disastrous, my wife decided to go down the town for a walk around as she was walking she noticed foreigners watching her every move and they then started to pair up and follow her, she felt so threatened that she had to go into spar shop and wait for me to collect her. Would never visit there again.

Kinsale is a fantastic town for a weekend away.
Kinsale is a fantastic town for a weekend away. There are several excellent restaurants where you will have unforgettable experiences. The Black Pig and Finns Farmcut are amazing. Breakfast can be hit or miss, The Lemon Leaf and OHK were excellent. If the weather allows the walk out to Charles Fort is lovely, with a pint of Murphy’s at the Bulmans. The views at the Old Head of Kinsale are breathtaking, and Garretstown Beach is stunning. The tour and tasting at Kinsale Mead is fascinating and a unique highlight. Be careful choosing where to stay, as standards are not reflected by star ratings, and the centre can be noisy. Parking is challenging with two hour max at the central car park, better at SuperValu but you’ll need to move your car overnight.

We arrived later in the evening but were welcomed wonderfully. If you drive to the hotel, know that parking is only what you find on the street. Our room was lovely and spacious and the bathroom was nice.
There isn't an elevator available so if you are on the 3rd floor like we were, be prepared to pull your bags up the stairs.
Be sure to book a paid breakfast with your room reservation. It was soooo good and one of the best meals we had in 2 weeks. A good breakfast gave us the energy to tackle a busy day.
Kinsale is a lovely town and even mid-week on a foggy fall day, we loved walking around.

Kinsale is a picturesque hilly harbourside town with great shops and restaurants. We had beautiful weather enjoyed walking around the town and took the harbor cruise. There were lots of good restaurants (a few require reservations way ahead), lively pubs, and various take-away food options. We stayed 2 nights, but only had 1 full day to explore the town. The roads into town are extremely steep & narrow, so we were happy to be able to park once at our guest house and not drive again till we left. Taxis are almost impossible to find. We ate at Fishy Fishy (had reservations months ahead) our first night and at the Blue Haven Restaurant & Bistro the second night. The live music was great. We heard great things about the Ghost Tour, but didn't have time for that. Parking can be an issue so make sure your guesthouse/hotel has parking. Stop at the Tourism office for great suggestions.

It is a beautiful village on a bay with an old-world charm.
It is a beautiful village on a bay with an old-world charm. It can be quite busy as it is rightly popular. Lots of local shops, pubs and restaurants, all with an authentic feel. Beside the harbour, their are two marinas, two castle ruins and a lovely beach. It is also near the beginning of the Wild Atlantic Way which runs clockwise round the west coats of Ireland. 25 minutes from Cork airport, this place is a real gem
Maeve was absolutely the best. We arrived on a Sunday evening & she stayed open a little while longer because I misjudged the travel time. Felt bad because that’s her time off. The hotel was clean & the breakfast was really good with several options. The location is a little off the beaten path so it’s quiet but is only a 5-10 minute walk to everything. She also provides a list of things to do as well as places to eat & drink. If I come back through in the future this will be the place I stay.
Lovely breakfast - I loved the stewed fruit with youghurt; adds that bit of something over just a full Irish, served in a lovely room and the staff there were very friendly. Well spaced out in times of covid.
The soap dispensers are a great idea - love the sustainability.
Good coffee and tea facilities in the room. Bed was very comfortable, room not noisy. Great sleep over all. The bath robes (no slippers) were a lovely touch.
Location is superb. The hotel itself looks lovely.
John is an absolute gent. I can't speak more highly of him. His bnb is beautiful. This was the best bnb we have stayed in. The room was lovely, good power from the shower, bed was comfy and beautiful views. The breakfast was excellent. You wouldn't get it as good in a hotel who have all turned to buffets. The breakfast here is fresh, cooked to order. The walk to town is lovely, quiet country road into the heart of kinsale, takes maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Would 100% recommend.
The B&B is tiny but beautifully decorated. The location in the middle of Kinsale is excellent.
The room and bathroom were small but very clean and they have anything that you might need.
The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had plenty of hot water.
The staff/owner was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was plenty and very tasty. We were able to find street parking (free) in the back of the hotel.
The hotel has a very unique character that you seldom see. Rooms are cozy and have all the essentials. The hostess was very welcoming and told us about all the best pubs and restaurants. The parking in Kinsale is very difficult, so having a few parking spots on site was very convenient, especially for tourists. I look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Ireland!
One of the best Irish breakfasts I ever had in a hotel. The dinner in the evening was excellent. Both the bar and the restaurant where busy both nights that we stayed and the staff where very friendly and cheerful with everyone. Shower in room was very good and the bed very comfortable.
A pleasant hotel to stay in. Would be happy to return sometime in the future.
Our hosts were amazing. My daughter broke her foot two days before our flight to Ireland. They helped us source a wheel chair which made Blarney Castle and dinner in Kinsale enjoyable. We are soooo grateful for their kindness, help, and hospitality. It is a clean, new townhome with very comfortable bedrooms and a kitchen.
What a fantastic hotel. We enjoyed everything about our stay. All staff went above and beyond, The breakfast was amazing and the lunch at Sydney's was fantastic.
The rooms were spacious, spotless and comfortable with a great the shower.
Harbour view room was exactly that. Stunning.
Onsite free parking too.
The breakfast was excellent. The room was good once I realised that all the hotel used old furniture. Location was excellent - right in the centre of Kinsale.
There were very few restaurants open and the Blue Haven hotel was suggested (I believe a sister hotel) - the food was excellent.
Location! This boutique hotel is right in the heart of everything and very well appointed! Ann was quite welcoming and full of suggestions, even securing us a last minute dinner reservation at an excellent restaurant (Max’s Seafood)!
We will definitely return and stay longer!
Actons Hotel Kinsale is in a terrific location by the water, and has parking for its guests. The staff was gracious and efficient. Our room was exceptionally comfortable and clean, and breakfast could not have been better. Our sole regret was that we did not stay longer.
Hidden gem in the best town in Ireland. We could not recommend this place more. Clean towels and fresh water every day. Service impeccable. Better than a five star hotel. This is our new go to place any time in Ireland. Hats off to to you Pat and Ann.
Extremely clean rooms (normally carpet on the floor leads to my allergies acting up, but this was not the case here) and friendly staff. The breakfast was about the best we had in Ireland as well. The house was nice with cosy sitting areas.
The room was lovely and very spacious .Great for a family vacation. Breakfast was delightful. Few minutes walk to centre of town. Hotel has its own carpark which was great.
