A perfect place to appreciate Kinsale
It is easy to summarize our stay at The Perryville Hotel, with its excellent hospitality, exceptional service and attentional to every detail of our perfectly-appointed room.
Magical!
Best breakfast anywhere we sampled across several counties.
Great location overlooking the Kinsale harbor with the vibrancy of the town displayed.
The Perryville Hotel made it tempting to want to enjoy all the rooms of this magnificently-restored house.

Hospitality was excellent; rooms were clean and the location relative to Kinsale area was excellent.
This might be the the most beautiful hotel in Ireland and is centrally located. Staff met us as we pulled up and provided parking. The rooms were amazing with balconies and a view of the harbor and the breakfast and service were exquisite.

Exceeded expectations
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were quite spacious. Ours had a charming courtyard view, complete with an on-duty guard cat. Fresh flowers lined every hallway. The staff was extremely helpful, securing us a coveted parking space when we had to move our car. But the biggest surprise was that the complimentary breakfast was worthy of a Michelin star. We would absolutely stay here again.

From the moment we walked into our room, we felt a sense of calm — the view over the harbor was utterly serene, and everything was impeccably clean. It was the perfect place to unwind. I’d read countless reviews raving about the breakfast and honestly thought it couldn’t possibly live up to the hype… but it exceeded every expectation. I still find myself missing it! While everyone we encountered was kind and welcoming, the breakfast staff truly stood out — their warmth and attentiveness made our stay all the more memorable. A truly special experience from start to finish.
