Perryville House

Jump to:

The 200-year-old Perryville House, located overlooking the bay on the edge of vibrant Kinsale, continues to feel like a home rather than a hotel. This characterful 22 room, family-run guesthouse has a welcoming, casual ambience. There are two formal yet snug lounges adorned with large portraits, patterned curtains, vibrant floor rugs and wooden fireplaces.

The tastefully decorated guest rooms are all individually furnished with a blend of traditional elements and modern amenities.

The owners’ passion and commitment to restoring Perryville House to its former old-world glory is evident in everything they do. They take pride in producing their own honey and serving a delicious breakfast buffet of homemade delicacies freshly made with locally sourced ingredients.

OUR OPINION:

Perryville House is a beautiful heritage property lovingly restored to its former glory. Service is excellent, its location ideal and the homemade breakfast items here are a highlight.

Rooms

Originally built in 1810 as a family residence, the guest rooms still have a home-like charm and feature individual furnishings. Although each guest room has its own design, all rooms use the highest quality linen and goose down duvets. Rooms are located upstairs and overlook the country garden or the waterfront. Furthermore, they are all fitted with modern conveniences such as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi — although be aware that internet connectivity can be a bit unreliable at times. Standard and superior rooms have showers, while deluxe rooms and junior suites have both a shower and a bath.

Location

Located in the heart of Kinsale, Perryville House offers guests fantastic views of the bay while still only being a short walk from the main street of this small town. A variety of gourmet restaurants and intimate pubs with traditional Irish music are only a five-minute stroll from the hotel.

Food and drink

With a passion for quality the staff produce their own honey from three onsite beehives. Using raw ingredients they grow themselves or source locally, the staff prepare and serve a cold buffet of creamy yogurts and homemade pastries in the charming breakfast room alongside hot breakfast items cooked to order. In the afternoon, the bar and garden rooms, furnished with comfortable sofas and fresh flowers, are lovely locations in which to unwind with a tea or cocktail. Although there is no restaurant for lunch or dinner, the staff provide guests with a detailed list of their recommended restaurants.
