Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Even on a stormy day, this is an interesting place to visit. This was not here when I was here in 2002. It is a very needed addition to the area. It allows for views of the unique peninsula of Old Head and gives information on the important historical event of the sinking of the Lusitania. The road to it is a bit narrow, but many roads in Ireland have the same challenge! It is a small museum, but worth the visit.

    Booked as part of a hen do activity, Ann was absolutely fabulous in our 2 hour workshop, incredibly knowledgable and helpful as well as lovely! We had a great time making plaques, mugs & a lovely touch for Ann to help us make a keepsake too. Would highly recommend if you’re in Kinsale.

    It may be tiny, but it is informative. We learnt a lot about the various crafts local to Kinsale, plus information about the Lusitania and subsequent inquiry. .The building itself was also impressive. Worth a visit. Particularly of interest was the craftsmanship in the small wooden spiral staircase… an apprentice’s test piece. Eat your heart out IKEA!

    While the majority of our party are Irish, 2 are Vietnam War Veterans so we had to stop. Unfortunately the Medal of Honor went on an exhibit toTampa, Florida so we were not able to see it but they had had some artifacts from 9/11. Worth the quick stop and the curator was welcoming and informative.

    Except for the story as told by our local tour guide, there is not much that indicates the former glory/importance of this structure.

    One of the many places to walk into downtown Kinsale. Super street stores and the Gallery has many eye catching pieces for you to enjoy.

    Wonderful fun happy paintings, prints and other gift items! Eoin's art makes you smile. I am an artist and love creating pieces that make people happy. That is what Eoin's art of Ireland does. I purchased three pieces. Two boat scenes and one sheep (I couldn't resist).
    The people working for Eoin are great especially Laura. Shout out to her for all her help.
