Great place to stay!

This is a great place to stay. It's very clean, has spacious rooms, very comfortable bed, and very friendly, kind, and helpful staff. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and plentiful. You can tell it's a family owned business as they take great pride in the quality of their business and the services they provide. We'd happily stay there again and recommend it to others!

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.

Just right.

Perfect location. Lovely hosts. Great breakfast. Easy nearby parking. Really felt welcomed — and yet the privacy of a great guest house/inn. The view of the water was gorgeous. A real treat.

Peter, the Innkeeper, was exceptional in his care for his guests. Staff member J was a delight at breakfast, which was a classic Irish offering. Our accommodations were top notch with a beautiful view. The location was ideal and provided easy walking access to all that Kinsale had to offer.

Long Quay House was just fascinating. A 1700 mansion that is solid as a rock and newly updated. We enjoyed our talks with the owner who shared lots of information about the house and town. He also helped us up and down with the luggage. Great breakfast selection and REAL coffee!

Great location- check in kid was a bit dopey and didn’t know anything about the parking situation across the street otherwise a nice hotel. Breakfast doesn’t start until 8:30 so if you’re looking for an early start this might be at bit inconvenient as everywhere else we stayed in Ireland started at 7:00. Would recommend to stay here again

Perfect location for Kinsale

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).
Long Quay House is the first white building on the right.

Lovely

The breakfast was amazing, self service items as well as a choice of fully cooked breakfasts. Parking was across the street on a public lot, free only at certain times. The room was very comfortable, except the heat was only turned on by the hotel intermittently. Very quiet.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
