Desmond House Kinsale B&B

Desmond House was such a wonderful stay! Hosts couldn't have been nicer or more helpful - so full of suggestions and hints for our visit. Room was cozy and breakfasts were delicious. We were the only guests one of the mornings and felt so cared for. Would love to go back and visit again.

Desmond House is a delight. This historic Georgian house has spacious, comfortable, elegantly appointed rooms. The hosts served a delicious cooked-to-order breakfast, including freshly made scones. The location is perfect as it’s on a quiet street, but only a few minutes’ walk from the shops, pubs and restaurants of Kinsale. The gracious hosts made our stay a memorable part of our Ireland experience.

Grainne & Paddy are the most incredible, welcoming hostesses to walk the planet!
We were only there for one night but would have been happy to stay for a week.  The rooms are large and so comfortable  with beautiful linens, etc.  This was by far the best accommodations we had on our entire trip.  Do not hesitate to stay at Desmond House

This stately Georgian B&B in the heart of downtown Kinsale was perfect.  Nicest part of our two day visit, one of the best stays during our two week tour throughout Ireland, was meeting Gráinne and her husband Paddy who do such a great job as hosts.  Wonderful breakfast made to order each morning. Very comfortable bed in a well appointed period-furnished room with nice amenities.  Quiet despite being downtown and close to so many restaurants and shops.  Easy parking across the street.  Overall, very classy.  Hope to return some day!

Absolutely lovely B&B in a great location in Kinsale. Even had parking across the street which is rare there. Very comfortable accommodations with beautiful decor. The fresh everyday homemade scones and breakfast were delicious. Grainne and Paddy were perfect hosts.

This was a most delightful stay for 4 nights in Kinsale. Grainne and Paddy are enjoyable, attentive hosts. Accommodations/arrangements  were comfortable, clean and quiet, breakfast delicious. Well-done!!

My wife and I had a wonderful 3 nights here.  Our room was large, extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated.  Breakfasts were delicious.  The location is extremely convenient with the town centre less than five minutes walk away.  Best of all were the hosts.  Grainne was extremely efficient in all our communications before our visit and is an absolute delight in person.  Our only regret was that we could only stay three nights - hopefully we will be able to return someday.  This is one of the best places we have ever stayed at.

We loved our stay at Desmond Townhouse and it was the highlight of our stays in Ireland. It was our second visit there and first with Grainne and Paddy as innkeepers! They were so welcoming from the moment we entered and the home
and rooms are absolutely beautiful. They have thought of everything and it is positively immaculate. Breakfast was the best we had with fresh baked scones, brown bread, juice, yogurt, coffee , and made to order full breakfasts. The love and care that go into every aspect are evident not only in the food and service but the beautiful table settings that welcomed us every morning. What a perfect way to start our day exploring the area. 
Grainne was so helpful suggesting restaurants, tours, walks, and local music. Her best suggestion was to take a “drive off” day and  explore the town and sights. It truly was the best advice we were given anywhere and we loved Kinsale.
The inn is very quiet yet a brief walk to the town center and all activities.
This truly is an Irish gem and we will be forever grateful to Grainne and Paddy for providing us the perfect experience. Thank you so very very much!!!! We hope to return some day!

From the moment we checked in Grainne was such a wonderful hostess—she was a wealth of knowledge and gave great travel advice. Our room was spotless, welcoming, had a little sitting area as well as a spacious bathroom. We immediately felt right at home. Kinsale is a charming seaside town and a great base for day trips. The Desmond House is centrally located and you can easily walk anywhere in town. There’s a small parking area across the street. A gourmet breakfast each morning got us off to a great start each day. We had opportunities to meet other guests and to share where we had been or where we were going. I’ve already booked a room for this November and again next September. You will not regret staying at this charming place!!!

An amazing little gem tucked away in the streets of Kinsale! Such a pretty place with beautiful decor and comfy beds. Our hosts were so sweet and great cooks as well.  Such a great location within the heart of Kinsale. We ate, drank and walked all over. This is a great place to unwind and learn about Irish culture.

We will be back!

A Delightful Experience

Don't miss Desmond House

Outstanding stay at Desmond House in Kinsale

Wonderful!

The Absolutely Best of Irish Hospitality!

Felt Like Home

Stayed for 3 nights, highly recommend 

Excellent choice.  We stayed two nights.  Well located but quiet - around the corner or down the street from where you want to go (about a 4 minute walk to Bastion if you want an inspired meal).  Large room and very comfortable bed.  Good breakfast with some variety.  My wife and I travel a lot and the Desmond House is a great B&B with a knowledgeable and helpful host.  Highly recommended and we'd stay here again without hesitation.

Excellent Choice - Recommended

This B&B was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland.  The owners, Grainie and Paddy, made us feel so at home.  They are gracious hosts.  The B&B is absolutely beautiful and spotless.  The beds were so comfortable and cozy and rooms well appointed.  The breakfasts were incredible and elegant.  The B&B is perfectly located to walking to restaurants and shops.  A very elegant and beautiful place.

Outstanding B&B

My husband and I had the best time we could ever imagine in Kinsale, and all thanks to Desmond House owner Grainne.  The room are spacious and decorated uniquely, the owner has a great touch in every single aspect and detail of the house. You feel to be part of the history of Kinsale.  The breakfast was delicious and was prepared using fresh ingredients from local farmers. The house is located in the center of town that offers many attractions, many lovely restaurants and pubs, we got lucky with the Jazz night Festival that was advised by the owner. Thank you very much! 
Simply it was a very very unforgettable amazing experience .
