Detailed Reviews
The owner of Olde Bakery recommended Golden Gate House to us and we had a wonderful time. The owners are very warm, friendly, and extremely helpful. Our airline had lost our luggage (over the Easter holiday no less) and Carole helped us get it immediately by working with the delivery driver. Also, they were filled with great recommendations for restaurants and pubs. Their house is by Desmond Castle, just a short (probably 5-10 min) walk to Kinsale center. The breakfasts were delicious, and there were multiple options beyond just the traditional irish breakfast. I would recommend Golden Gate House to anyone staying in Kinsale!

This B7B was recommended by the owner of the Olde Bakery B & B, she kindly helped us as we were knocking on an empty building late in the day, tired, cold and looking for a B& B with rooms available. The owner came down and we followed her to the Golden Gate which is set up above the town but in easy walking distance to the town center. Very accomodating, and gracious hosts. The room was quiet and beds were comfortable. Good breakfast. The scones were wonderful!

We recently traveled with a party of 8, of family and friends. We stayed in a different B&B every night for 10 days, so we do have a lot of experience when it comes to comparing all of the B&B's. One B&B that really stands out is the Golden Gate House. We were warmly welcomed by our host, Carol and made to feel comfortable immediately. House was lovely and very clean. We all recommend this wonderful place for you to stay when you visit Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland. We all hope to return to Ireland again in the future and will definitely stay at the Golden Gate House.
Before I end, I have to let you know that Carol's scones were the best we ate during our trip through Ireland. Delicious!! Thanks, Carol and family. The Knight-Healy party.

This is the best Bed and Breakfast we have ever been to. The room was lovely; very clean, nicely decorated and we had our own bathroom with a shower. Carol and Michael are wonderful hosts. They were so friendly and kind giving great advise on things to do near by. It is a short walk to town. Kinsale is beautiful with many shops, restaurants, and things to see. We would definitely return and recommend.

Our host Carol was incredibly friendly and kind and we really enjoyed our stay at Golden Gate. The accommodation was basic, but reasonably priced and satisfyingly comfortable. The self-serve breakfast was a pleasant change from the Full Irish, with more healthy, lighter options. We really enjoyed our stay and the location is great for walking into town, though far enough away from the hub-hub to offer a good night's sleep.

My wife and I stayed only one night....would have loved to have stayed longer. A very warm and friendly B & B. Carol was a delightful hostess and made us feel so welcome. Clean, comfortable and the breakfast was just superb. Parking in Kinsale is difficult at the best of times, so having a car parking area was a bonus. And its only a short walk to the town centre. If you are staying in Kinsale, we would highly recommend this B & B for couples or families.

my wife and myself stayed in the Golden Gate B&B for one night on our 25th wedding annv weekend.Carol and Michael were very welcoming and friendly hosts.The room was adequately spacious for us and the bed was very comfortable.The house is less than 10 mins walk from Kinsale town and very quite through the night which makes for great sleeps.The choice of breakfasts provided by Carol was excellent in very pleasant surroundings. When in the Kinsale area again we will definitely stay at The Golden Gate B&B.

This is one of the BEST B&Bs I have stayed at in Ireland - it's a close walk from the Desmond castle and church. This perfect B&B is close to some of the over priced recommended B&B on Lonely Planet but by far the better option !! The hosts are so friendly and go out of their way to help you in any way possible. The rooms are clean and very comfortable, all furniture and finishes are brand new. Breakfast is fantastic - try the waffles and scones - they are AMAZING !!

We stayed at this superb B&B in Kinsale for four nights and used it as a base to travel Cork county. Situated a mere three minute walk from the town centre, this B&B is centrally located, yet much more reasonably priced than the other B&Bs further along the same road. The pristine bedroom with ensuite bathroom was newly furnished and very spacious. Our hosts were so friendly and welcoming, and they gave us great tips on activities, walks in the area, and restaurant recommendations. Breakfast was scrumptious - Carol's homebaked scones and waffles were out of this world! We would've stayed longer if we had the time!

They use airbnb. If you search airbnb kinsale, I believe you will find the Golden Gate. They are wonderful hosts.
