Hotel review: This residents-only West Cork escape feels like exclusive luxury

This impeccably restored West Cork escape offers sublime breakfasts and makes for an aspirational Kinsale stay

Add-ons like home made scones and the hotel's very own gluten free bread add extra indulgence to what is a truly outstanding breakfast

Location

A pretty-in-pink heritage property, in Cork’s most salubrious seafront settings, Perryville House offers a prime, postcard location in the heart of ever-buzzing Kinsale. One of the more recent members to the Ireland’s Blue Book fold, Perryville serves as a guesthouse, rather than a hotel, so evening dining isn’t offered here, however, being on the doorstep of a culinary capital, guests have a smorgasbord of restaurants to choose from. Pop the The Black Pig, Finns’ Farmcut, and Saint Francis Provisions on your short-list.
