Got a fantastic dine and stay offer for this hotel a few weeks back and decided to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday here. I checked in early and used the gym and leisure facilities before dinner. I was very impressed. The leisure centre dressing rooms were immaculately clean and well maintained. The gym was well-equipped but small. The jacuzzi and... More

My wife and I visited Carlton Kinsale Hotel & Spa for a second time recently and had a absolutely relaxing break. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. We had a room with a sea view and it had everything we needed. In the restaurant Slavo was the gentleman who looked after us on our first evening and he recognised... More

We booked a one night dine ans stay free offer for a romantic night away. The pool and room were lovely and I must compliment the changing rooms, which were very clean. The bed in our room was a very small double bed so we ended up bringing a single bed from the other side of the room over and... More

Stayed in the Carlton Hotel, Kinsale, for a 2 night mid-week break...The hotel is situated about 3km outside the main town and is nicely secluded, but at the same time it's only 30mins drive into Cork City so you have the best of both worlds...It's a modern hotel and it's extremely clean and well kept. We only ate breakfast in... More

My husband and I stayed here with our 22 month old daughter in January of 2012. We purposely chose this hotel because of the pool. We wanted to give our daughter at least something to do on a trip that was mainly for us! The hotel itself is beautiful. The views are amazing. The restaurant was also very nice and... More

This is a fabulous hotel. I really relaxed at this hotel. The place is so beautiful with lovely views out onto the bay. The room was clean & nice. The food was fantastic, I mainly ate the salmon as I enjoyed it so much on my first night. I was amazed that the soup was different every night because normally... More

This is a beautiful hotel. It's in a great setting too but is a good bit from the town and as Kinsale is such a great place to go out and has such amazing restaurants too it means you must get a taxi in and out from town. If you don't mind this though its a great place to stay.... More

Dear Caitriona714 Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay at the hotel. The hotel is located 4km from the town of Kinsale & we offer a shuttle bus to the town every evening to facilitate our guests to access the town. Being located outside the town leaves us as a very peaceful, relaxing destination. I... More

The staff were very friendly and even anxious about our safety when we said we planned to walk to Charles Fort because of her fear of road traffic! We did the walk and continued along the coastal path and back to the hotel without incident. Hotel is located 4k outside Kinsale but very efficient taxi service runs in the evening... More

I recently spent one night in the Carlton as part of a weekend away to West Cork. I upgraded our room to the Sea View suite as we wanted a little bit of luxury for the weekend and to spoil ourselves. The location itself is fantastic, very scenic and hidden away, but I was a little disappointed by the room,... More
