    Loved the cozy vibe and large, clean room. Super handy location, just a short walk to the main attractions.

    Felt snug, no reason to complain.

    great location with spacious apartment

    The location was fantastic. I enjoyed the spacious bottom apartment which had an excellent kitchen setup. It was very clean and provided ample room for our group. We also appreciated the convenient parking nearby.

    There were quite a few stairs that made moving my luggage a bit of a hassle.

    great café
    spotty wifi

    Great stay in the heart of Kinsale!

    Loved how spacious our room was, and the little kitchenette was super handy for quick meals. The café nearby served the best pastries for breakfast! The only bummer was the wifi, it was a bit spotty at times. But honestly, we were too busy exploring to mind much.

    old-world charm
    vibrant cafes
    unique architecture
    numerous stairs

    The atmosphere of this place exudes old-world charm, showcasing the unique architecture of a former dispensary. Location offers easy access to vibrant cafes and restaurants, perfectly aligning with a culinary exploration vibe.

    Expect physical exertion from the numerous stairs both outside and inside the building. it's not for the faint-hearted with large luggage. The room could use some attention, feeling a bit bare with limited lighting, which creates a somewhat unfinished feel. Issues with Wi-Fi plagued my stay, so staying connected was a challenge, and I faced confusion due to a lack of clear notifications regarding scheduled power and water outages, making it frustrating at times.

    great location
    spacious room
    clean bathroom
    hard to find key
    many stairs

    the old dispensary is super close to everything, like all the best cafes and restaurants in kinsale. the room i had was really big and comfortable. It had a nice clean bathroom. parking was easy to find which is a big plus. the vibes of the place are just amazing and it gave off a cozy feel. got good info on how to check in which was helpful.

    had a little trouble finding my key upon arrival since i didn't get the email about it, and there were a lot of stairs that made moving my bags annoying.

    Perfect location in Kinsale, right by all the best cafes and restaurants. The room offered plenty of space and a nice clean bathroom, which was a highlight. Loved having a fully equipped kitchen setup in the apartment. Street parking was easy to find, making our stay hassle-free. access to the property involved many stairs, which was quite a workout with bags. I faced some issues with the Wi-Fi during my stay, making it tricky to stay connected. Despite these inconveniences, the atmosphere gave off a cozy vibe, perfect for a weekend getaway.
