Excellent Experience beautiful location
 
We stayed at the Carlton end March and could not fault the staff or hotel in any way. The views were beautiful, the leisure facilities were excellent and the restaurant was a gastronomic heaven! I would definitely recommend the hotel and have been singing the praises of the place since we got home.

Hidden gem
 
Wow, superb hotel in gorgeous setting, the view is breathtaking. Was on business and this was lovely to relax in the evening. Staff are great and the prices are brilliant. Overall 5 stars, won't stay anywhere else in Cork now.

Excellent Hotel
 
We stayed for four nights and found the Carlton Hotel in Kinsale was excellent in regard to staff, location, food, service, hospitality and facilities. Our only concern was in relation to dinner prices ... in the restaurant as they appeared to be slightly overpriced and this may be related to an offer of free accommodation for those who had dinner. Otherwise, well done to everyone involved on this well run hotel. ---

Good
 
check in was good but i found the arrival letter very informal explanation of the facilities would be so much better we were having to look around for everything. TV chanels very limited also the pool ... area etc was not explained so we did not use it because it was outside the hotel rather than in. the food was good not much variety though. all staff were exceptional at their job so pleasant.the bar decor felt like a hall rather than a relaxing place to drink. I would return as it is a lovely hotel but some areas need improvement ---

Thank you for your e-mail and feedback regarding your recent visit. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. I have noted your comments about the welcome letter have discussed it with my Front Office manager with regard to revising this procedure. With regard to the television channels, we do provide an interactive television and internet service with a full range of up to date movies as well as music channels along with the regular terrestrial channels. We do have plans to move and refurbish our bar in order to make better use of the wonderful views over Oysterhaven. It is a shame that you did not get to use our Leisure centre and C-Spa which is located within the hotel itself, directly below the reception area. Again, the location of this should have been explained to you at check in time, please accept my apologies for the lack of communication. Once again, thank you for your comments and feedback. I look forward to welcoming you back to the Carlton Kinsale. Kind Regards John McGrath General Manager
Dinner & Stay Free
 
Myself and five friends had the dinner and stay free deal and it was outstanding value. We were most impressed with the menu as we were expecting something less exciting and with less choice. Nice ... touches with homemade cookies free with coffee. We were lucky to receive vouchers which entitled us to reductions on wine, spa treatments and breakfast making our overnight even more enjoyable and good value. Great food, beautiful rooms, relaxing spa and pleasant staff. All in all a great marketing idea as the hotel was buzzing which would probably not be the case in the month of March. The only negative would be the bar, the location is terrible with no views but that is a design problem. ---

Fourth visit
 
Quality of the food in the restaurant has greatly diminished since our first visit three years ago. Pool no longer supplies wet bags or soap. Still a lovely experience and staff extremely friendly.

Thank you for your e-mail and feedback regarding your recent visit. I am disappointed to read that you feel the quality of food has diminished, we still have the same chef in the kitchen and he has been putting a lot of work into creating dishes using locally sourced meats & seafood. I have spoken with the team in the leisure centre regarding the wet bags and the soap. I am delighted that you enjoyed your visit, repeat guests such as yourselves are the mainstay of our business and our best source of quality feedback. I look forward to welcoming you back to the Carlton Kinsale. Kind Regards John McGrath General Manager
Brilliant weekend...
 
Was exceptionally pleased with everything during our stay. The views were exceptional from the room. The food and wine were amazing and the service from the reception to the restaurant and bar staff was ... second to none. Will definitely recommend the hotel to family and friends. The facilities were great and the fact that the courtesy bus made an extra trip to facilitate of party was wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be returning ---

Fantastic location
 
The Carlton Kinsale is situated at the end of a wooded drive overlooking Oysterhaven Bay.Many of the bedrooms overlook the water as does the restaurant and pool.Large impressive lobby with efficient receptionists on duty.Bar food good and reasonably priced but the bar is very quiet if in search of a lively atmosphere.

Beautiful Location - Great Value for Money.
 
Stayed in the Carlton, Kinsale for one night with my husband on the 26th February. We had a very relaxing stay, the staff were very helpful, the food good and the location/scenery fantastic. Would recommend to anyone who would like a relaxing break.

Very impressed!
 
I was very impressed by the hotel, the location is amazing and every thing was comfortable, the food was great and the price I got for a 1 night deal was excellent. The bar missed out on the fabulous ... views but I didn't actually spend time there, I ate in the restaurant which was excellent. My only fault with the room was a safe wasn't provided, I could have requested one I'm sure but I was surprised it wasn't provided as standard. ---
