Baased on the great reviews we read on Trip Advisor, we booked our one night in Kinsale at Desmond House. Unfortunately our experience there was overall a big disappointment.

Michael was the perfect host; we were exhausted and had a bit of a harried drive to Kinsale, he was a sight for sore eyes when we walked... More

My husband , daughter and I stayed for 3nights while traveling in Ireland. Michael, our host was tremendously helpful and full of history and information.
