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.

What travellers are saying
- amosesqState College, PA553 contributionsThis diet, built to protect the area from a Spanish or French invasion—and continuing as a military installation to modern times is well worth a visitWritten 30 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MaryRydenKyoto, Japan5 contributionsThis was such an interesting visit. We weren’t able to do the tour because it was already started so we did a tasting and had such an interesting conversation about production and flavors and every aspect of the history of mead that I left with a whole font of knowledge that I wasn’t expecting. Highly recommend a visit here. Mead varieties were any more varied than I expected and I really enjoyed it.Written 22 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- amosesqState College, PA553 contributionsOf course, seeing the guardhouse and understanding the importance of the whole network was great, but as this is the nearest point to where the Lusitania was sunk in 1915, the exhibits allow an understanding of the events and their significance.

- roy vTraralgon, Australia4,750 contributionsWalking around the old part of town is a pleasure, we came across this church and in we went .
What a lovely old church with a great history, built on the site of the first church built by St. Multose in the 6 century.
The present church was built in 1190.
This is one of Irelands oldest churches.
It was here that Charles 11 was declared King of England in 1649
A must place to spend time when in townWritten 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is not much left of the Fort but it is interesting just to see the location and gain an understanding of its purpose.Written 5 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- roy vTraralgon, Australia4,750 contributionsFirst time for us in Kinsale so we headed straight to the info centre.
We were met by a nice friendly Gentleman who gave us a local map and some assistance.
Plenty of info there so call inWritten 26 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Christopher NPhoenix, AZ17 contributionsSo sorry to hear you are closed for the season but...
I was able to order Blacks in the restaurants around town. Also found in the grocery stores. So not all was lost. Great beers and the tour is a reason to comeback to Kinsale next year! Keep up the amazing work.Written 19 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.

- monroegcrewNew Port Richey, FL66 contributionsWhile 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.Written 10 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nestled in a picturesque setting, this gastro pub encapsulates the essence of Irish charm.
From the onset, the ambiance, with its traditional décor and cozy feel, set the stage for an unforgettable evening. As for the food, it was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a harmonious blend of local flavors and innovative culinary techniques. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite.
Service was another standout aspect of our visit. The staff were not only professional but also genuinely warm and attentive, ensuring our dining experience was seamless.
For those in Kinsale seeking an authentic, gastronomic delight, The Bulman is an absolute must-visit. It's more than just a meal; it's an experience that lingers long after the last bite.
