Set two miles outside Kinsale town, the purpose-built hotel and leisure complex has a mix of 70 hotel beds, and a 19 three-bed family holiday lodges, giving a total of up to 128 bedrooms (thus, an average price of under €35,000 per room), and has turned to profitable trading in recent times under BDL Hotel Management, with an average of two weddings per week.

It’s got the greatest guest capacity of Kinsale district’sseveral hotels, as town-centred boutique four-star Actons Hotel has 74 rooms, and the quayside Trident Hotel has 75 rooms. Kinsale also has a number boutique hotels and guesthouses.
