Reviewed Sep 19, 2026We had a lovely stay at Friars Lodge in Kinsale! The staff were absolutely amazing — so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The location is excellent, very convenient, and perfect for exploring Kinsale on foot. Kinsale itself is a true gem, with beautiful streets, charming walks, and so many wonderful dining options within walking distance. The breakfast was fresh, delicious, and a wonderful way to start the day. Friars Lodge was the perfect place to enjoy our time in Kinsale. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back!

It's not that I don't like I respect their rules and I understand. They don't have room service for breakfast. It will be nice to have this service in the future and I don't mind paying extra for this service because like me I travelled with pets sometimes on my own and pets are not allowed in dining room.
