Our hosts were amazing. My daughter broke her foot two days before our flight to Ireland. They helped us source a wheel chair which made Blarney Castle and dinner in Kinsale enjoyable. We are soooo grateful for their kindness, help, and hospitality. It is a clean, new townhome with very comfortable bedrooms and a kitchen.

    Loved the Lodge and the location just amazing. Surround by beautiful countryside. Met with Veronica on arrival, gorgeous host. Answered any questions and started the weekend on a positive, happy note. If you want to de-stress and get away from reality for a while this is the spot. Only 7 to 10 minutes drive to Kinsale with the crowds and atmosphere but gorgeous to come back to a little serenity.

    Cosy and perfectly clean. I loved the space. Very central location, just a short walk from the centre. We were provided with tea and coffee which was wonderful. The hosts also lit a fire in the living room so we were able to enjoy a cup of tea by the fireplace in the evening whilst it was raining outside. It could not have been better!

    Friar's Lodge was charming and comfortable . We enjoyed a one-night stay in a large family suite. Bathroom was clean and spacious. The lodge is located in the centre of Kinsale, and within walking distance of major town sites and restaurants/pubs. Breakfast was very good, with many cold and hot options. Parking lot on-site with electric charging stations. We would recommend a stay at Friar's Lodge!
