    Lovely host Tom made us feel right at home. He gave us tips on what to do and see, a fountain of knowledge. He also went above and beyond. The room was lovely. Fresh linen and room tidied every day. Great choice of breakfast. Brilliant location to explore from. All in all would recommend Kinsale and staying at The Gallery. A truly wonderful memorable stay.

    Perfect location, right by bus station, waterfront, close to several eateries, right next to old town. Lovely garden with sunshine from early morning to late afternoon, and very comfy furniture. Cosy room with very nice bathroom with sky light. Lovely hostess, like moving in with family. Free tee and coffee with cookies was very much appreciated.
