John, our host, was absolutely wonderful. His place is gorgeous and the views are stunning. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. He is very interested in ancestry and even searched some of the surnames we gave him.

John the owner does it all! He will run you into town and make you a scrumptious breakfast in the morning. If there are two of you we recommend splitting the Irish breakfast and the pancake breakfast which are crepe like with an excellent flavor.

Eric

Wonderful breakfast, views of the river and very helpful and accommodating host.

Barbara

Excellent staff. The cottage was perfect for a couple, very much a home away from home. Plenty of parking.

Host John is very flexible and give us rides to and from the b&b. Breakfast is very nice, the view is great. We don’t mind a 15 minutes or so hike from the town center without luggages. Very nice stay

Jack

A lovely view from the breakfast room. Good breakfast, with choices on the menu

Google maps got us to the B&B, just in a roundabout way (get directions ahead of time). The facilities are secluded and quiet with a nice view of the valley below. Although we stayed only one night, the owner drove us into town so that we could get our bearings before walking back after dinner.

Amazing host and excellent facility. Room was very clean and breakfast was delicious. Views were breathtaking. Would absolutely stay again. 15 min walk into town with great views along the way.

The only thing we didn’t like about the property was that we had to leave. We could’ve stayed there another six months!

Nothing negative to report.
Rocklands House has a peaceful setting located on Compass Hill at Kinsale. We stayed in the garden bungalow which was fully equiped for self catering with a seperate kitchen. The bungalow was also very well maintained and clean and the garden setting was charming with a view of the River Bandon. The house has plenty of parking space which is an important consideration in Kinsale. The owner who is a welcoming and charming host also served very nice breakfasts which included his delicious home made bread and scones. Check in and check out was effortless. Highly recommended for couples.
