The view was amazing from our room and from the Main Dining room. the breakfast was excellent, better than we have had in a lot of hotels.

A 15 minute walk into town, although with great views, but not suitable if you have mobility issues

John was an exceptional host. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was outstanding with freshly baked scones and bread as well as a delicious Irish breakfast with both black and white pudding. Our room had an amazing view of the estuary and John kindly allowed us to relax in the garden too. We were very much made to feel at home.

Everything. The location on the hillside overlooking the sea was exactly what we were looking for. The room was spacious and clean. Very quiet. The host, John, was exceptional and went out of his way to answer our questions about the history of the area. We loved sharing a nightcap with him and some of the other guests. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable.

The location was perfect. A short 15 minute walk from the city Center, Rocklands B&B is an oasis surrounded by lush greenery, beautiful gardens, and amazing views. The house itself, and the common room in particular, is grand. But the best part of our stay was our host. John Bateman’s friendly disposition and incredible hospitality really added to our experience.

that we had to leave.

the property is on scenic road into the beautiful town of Kinsale. the main man John is an amazing host he goes above & beyond for all your needs. He freshly bakes scones every morning straight from the oven and bakes his own wheaten bread. Amazing! The breakfast is amazing, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice and a cooked breakfast made perfect. I can’t emphasise enough how great John is at making you feel at home. the views from the property are priceless, stunning overlooking the water. Seaview rooms are the best.

John, the host was very welcoming, very knowledgeable and so extremely helpful with some transportation difficulties that we had. He went way above and beyond what a regular person would do in the circumstances!! Thank you, John! We definitely recommend this B&B!

The owner John was a wonderful host. He was very helpful, informative and interesting to chat with about Kinsale and Ireland. Irish breakfast was great. This B&B is on a magnificent property with outstanding views.

I had a hard time getting there, had I only followed the GPS I would have been fine. Afterwards I figured out what I did wrong and it was just that I didn't think you could turn left at that point.

Overall a great experience...the host is very engaging and caring. He will go out of his way to make you comfortable. I would highly recommend the B&B. The view is spectacular and the place is in walking distance to the town.

Location, Room, Breakfast & John the host Location slightly outside of the town but worth it for the amazing view. John was superb and offered us a lift to the town. He couldn't do enough for us on our stay. Breakfast was 10/10, and we will definitely come back for another stay

From the point of booking the communication with the owner of this property was excellent. We were allocated a room with an amazing view, with all the facilities aimed at making our stay as comfortable as possible. Breakfast was excellent. But what really makes this such a special place to stay is the warm welcome that makes the visitor feel more like a welcome house guest than a paying customer, and the fact that no request is too much trouble. It really is a home from home experience
