Actons Hotel Kinsale

Smooth check-in, perfect location, excellent service, spacious, modern room and a marvellous breakfast. Great value.

We absolutely loved Kinsale! What a delightful, seaside village. After spending a few days in the area, I can’t imagine there is a better hotel than the Actons! It is such an absolutely perfect location for exploring this amazing destination. The hotel itself is by no means a luxury property. We’ve stayed at a variety of those throughout Ireland, which are absolutely incredible in their own right. However, the vibe of Kinsale doesn’t fit the necessity for luxury. Its a quaint seaside village and the Actons hotel blends seamlessly into its charm. It has everything you would need. We were booked in their Old Head Suite. The room was gigantic. It faced out front towards the harbor. We had a separate sitting room and a separate bedroom with a very large bathroom. Everything about the room was perfectly lovely. The bed was comfortable. The room was incredibly spacious. The bathroom was ideal and the bathing products wonderful. The room was very comfortable and really helped enhance our stay. Breakfast was included each morning. There was a choice of a continental breakfast buffet as well as a menu where you could order hot dishes. The food was very good and service very quick. All the staff we encountered were incredibly cordial and friendly. Again, this is not an over the top in your face luxury experience, but everyone we encountered were incredibly helpful and always had a smile on their faces! You will see lots of golfers at this hotel. One of the main reasons is it’s proximity to the infamous Old Head golf course. We were elated that we were able to spend time in Kinsale, but one of our main priorities and one of the main reasons we chose this town and this hotel was its convenient location to access the Old Head Golf Course. Obviously a review of that golf course is completely separate but if you are in the area and you’ve made reservations far enough in advance, we sure as heck you hope you enjoy that wonderous spectacle! If you aren’t a golfer and you have good weather, you may want to take a drive to check that place out! Its built on a pretty spectacular piece of land! Our stay at this amazing property was simply wonderful. We loved the hotel. We loved the town. We loved the restaurants! If we ever find ourselves here again, there is no doubt we would stay at the Actons Hotel! We have already recommended it to tons of people!

My wife and I stayed here for three nights. The hotel is in a fantastic location, right on the harbour and minutes walk from everything in Kinsale town. There is adequate free parking for guests although the car park can get very busy in the afternoons with people using the leisure centre. we were checked in very quickly by a friendly and helpful gentleman. The atmosphere of the hotel is warm and calm, even though it is in the middle of a busy town. We had booked a harbour view room on the first floor, and initially, we were a bit disappointed with the view (see photos). There was a large expanse of flat roof and a big air conditioning unit right outside our window which really detracted from the lovely harbour view (we were in room 122). The room itself was comfortable if not large and was spotlessly clean. there was a Nespresso coffee machine and a selection of capsules, as well as a kettle and selection of tea-bags. The ensuite shower was wonderful with lots of pressure and no shortage of hot water. We had booked a 3 nights for the price of 2 deal and thought it was reasonable value for the price. The staff, from start to finish were very friendly and efficient. nothing was too much trouble and they really helped us to enjoy our stay. I do agree with previous reviwers that the bar really lacks atmosphere though!

It was a lovely hotel. The room had a real wow factor. The food was delicious and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. There are plenty of places to sit and relax.

What an experience we had here. We had a superb room with an excellent sea view. Our room was spotless and had everything in it we could have wanted. The food here was delicious , the staff are friendly, efficient and very professional. We will definitely stay here again and we can assure anyone thinking of coming here that they will not be disappointed. Full marks to this superb hotel.

We were a group of six friends from across Cork and chose Acton’s after staying here for a wedding four years ago. From the moment we arrived, the reception team gave us such a lovely welcome. The location is perfect with free parking and everything within walking distance. We had dinner in the hotel and the staff were so helpful and attentive. The food/wine was so tasty, fresh and great value. The newly renovated rooms were warm, cosy, spotless, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We all enjoyed a brilliant night’s sleep followed by a delicious made-to-order breakfast. With breakfast served until 11 and checkout at 12, we had plenty of time to relax and stroll into town too. Thanks for another wonderful stay!
