The White Lady Hotel

Our family arrived at different times and were all greeted with warm welcomes. Anthony and team helped with rooms, dinner, getting a taxi, and golf chat. The food (Irish Asian fusion - yum!) and drinks were great.The room was charming. Thx!

Unresponsive. I emailed twice before arriving to confirm the room. NO response. And when I checked out I left my NEW jacket behind. Emailed to make arrangements to get the jacket. Again NO response. On arrival we asked about parking and were informed that there's only on street parking.

The food and service was excellent, the staff were friendly brilliant and very helpful, we asked if we could store our suitcases for a few hours before our flight, and it was not a problem. Certainly a place to visit when in Kinsale. A short walk from the harbour. A place not to be missed.

When I was 18 my company sent me on my first training course and I stayed at a Guest house in Blackpool this was 1971. 53 years later I was transported straight back to that Guest House when my wife and I stayed at The White Lady Hotel, Kinsale. The Hotel proprietor has gone to a lot of trouble to recreate a 1970’s Guest house bedroom. They must have scoured junk shops and house clearance firms to furnish the room. The excellent way the bottom sheet doesn’t quite cove the mattress. The very narrow gap between the single beds pushed together to make a double and the third single bed. The starting to rust rust bed side lights fitted with thick dust covered lamp shades. The way they have made sure the cobwebs in the corner is left undisturbed while placing a piece of art on the wall which imitates a painting by numbers and captures the theme perfectly. My wife really enjoyed the thrill of the shower. The controller is either pre thermostatic or that part has failed. She adjusted the temperature and started to shower the temperature would suddenly go to extremely hot, fortunately it would then go to cold which soothed the scalding. The cracked and damaged shower tray worked just fine. As there were two of us we were fortunate to have been issued with two hand towels for our stay, yes one each. No sharing for us. Security and safety is a important to this hotel and therefore they have made sure you cant lock yourself in the bathroom by preventing the lock working by covering the lock mechanism with years of paint, also don’t worry about the hole in the ceiling with wires poking out that was just a smoke detector and there is one nearer the bed, who need two? The only things that could have taken away the 1970’s vibe is the flat screen tv, the illuminated bathroom mirror and the heated towel rail BUT they have even thought of that by making sure the tv picture freezes and breaks up preventing you from watching a programme. The illuminated mirror doesn’t light up anyway and the the heated towel rail isn’t turned on. This is important as if you decided to have a shower or wash in the evening your one towel will still be wet in the morning. So do you wash at night or in the morning or possibly do you share one of the towels in the evening and then use the other one in the morning? Some may ask why I have given such a high star rating to The White Lady, Kinsale. I would like as many people as possible to read my review so they can decide if they would also like to have the same experiences we had.

The facilities are nice. Bedding was good and room was clean. However, avoid Rm 7. It was the noisiest we have ever had. The music from the kitchen was so loud from 3-10 pm we had to ask the front desk to get it turned down. This helped a little, sad to say.

Such a great place! You can't beat the location--you can walk everywhere in Kinsale from here. Lovely showers, great wifi, nice beds....the corridor was a little warm, but the rooms were nice. Terrific people--Roamn got us checked in and sorted out where we could put the car, and Anthony's boundless cheerfulness greeted us the next day. Loved the place--would certainly stay here again.

Absolutely had a lovely experience. Nora was the joy of our day . Chatty and great hospitality. She made our night . Highly recommend. Lovely rooms and Bali for money . Thanks Nora. Great location , beautiful breakfast and car park on location . Shur what more do you want

The staff are all so friendly. Anthony went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and entertained us with great chat. The food was excellent with a great variety of options. Roman organised early breakfast for us on one of our mornings as a fishing trip was booked to head out early. I couldn't fault our stay. Thank you so much Anthony, Roman and all the staff for making it such a memorable stay. We will definitely be back.

Hotel was clean, comfortable and quaint. The staff were so lovely, nothing couldn’t be done for us. The Food was divine. Definitely recommend for dinner. Breakfast was included in our package which was served till quite late, it was also really nice. We stayed with a group of friends, perfect location to walk around kinsale.
