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.

    Hidden gem in Kinsale. Didn’t do a tour but had a lovely mead tasting session. The tasting host was very knowledgable and entertaining. The various meads were delicious. They have developed some great recipes for cocktails as well. We brought home a bottle of hazy summer mead and enjoyed it with some crema on the patio yesterday. Lovely.

    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.

    Interesting museum in the centre of kinsale town . It is €5 entry and is split into 2 parts. Downstairs you get to walk though the old streets of kinsale and see different merchants that would have been there and upstairs there is a whole section about the lusitina with a deck chair from it and information about the battle of kinsale . It is a interesting museum. I had been to kinsale many times but never knew about this until I saw a sign for it to say it was open. Well worth a visit

    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.

    Beautiful pub right on the water across from the town of Kinsale. We tasted various seafood dishes and all were great as was the service.
    we had no reservation and yet they did their best to seat us as quickly as they could. Would definitely go back when in the area

    Great traditional session when we were there. We got a table with a local and outlasted him to close it down! Find out when they have a session night and go!

    I took a taxi here from my cruise ship...150 Euros round trip. But the driver was very friendly and took a different route going and coming...nice scenery. I ordered 3 pieces of crystal by e-mail to make sure they were in stock. They were waiting for my in this tiny shop. The owner showed how he cut the blanks on a diamond wheel. He even allowed me to use his restroom! The town of Kinsale looked very cute as we drove through it.

    The most delicious dark hot chocolate you’ll find, made using their own chocolate. It is a coco-y not sweet chocolaty hug is a cup. :D

    Amazingly we visited this store 30 years ago on our first trip to Ireland and then stumbled back in this year. It was great to make the connection and have a wonderful experience all over again. Beautiful things that you won’t find elsewhere. We left with great stuff and some new items on the Christmas list!!! If you are looking for a true artisan shop that doesn’t have that “factory outlet” vibe look no farther and don’t miss it!

    This teeny tiny, bright shop is a gem of a store. My daughters and I were thrilled to explore the colorful, bright, array of jewelry, clothes, candles, and more. It is a plethora of shiny objects and the more you look the more you see. The shop owner and sales associate love the jewelry and were happy to let us entertain ourselves as we each found our perfect look. Most of the jewelry is unique and once the pieces are gone they are gone. When you are in Kinsale, this shop is a must. Be sure to see if the fairy next door is in.

    Standard Irish pub meeting all the expectations. There are plenty of tables in the side room or towards the back. Bar service is fast. They poured me a Shamrock Guinness which I heard was a bit of a tourist thing but the place was filled with locals.
