Guest Reviews
- Keane (8/5): -
- Anne (10/5): Fantastic, welcoming hosts who were always available to ask questions - Very comfortable, nice spaces, breakfast room open all day for tea coffee biscuits, exceptional hosts, tv /lounge room available could use just as if you were in own home. Breakfast very very generous and could make sandwiches throughout day. Loved the feel of the home. Nothing
- Silvia (7/5): -
- Mihai (8/5): Very good - Really nice place, self check in, cosy vibe, parking available, 10-12 mins by foot from city center, we suggest having breakfast at the Cosy cafe, really nice local vibe and great food. Our bedding smelled like vinegar. If that wasn't the case it would be a definite 9, most likely the washing machine needs a cleanse.
- CORINNE (10/5): - Maison et Chambre propre
Réactivité de l'hôte
Literie très confortable
Parking Vue depuis la fenêtre de chambre (entrepôt)
Pas de rencontre et de discussion avec l'hôte (système de boîte a clé)
- Moose (9/5): Good Option in Kinsale - I stayed in room 1 on the first floor. No issue retrieving the keys. The room was large with a big sofa. The bed was on the soft side but fine for me. There was a separate wardrobe room with plenty of storage. There was also a mini fridge stocked with 2 bottles of water and biscuits. The bathroom was a good size with a shower tube. There was plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Shampoo and shower gel were provided.
- Sue (8/5): Good option for a place to stay - Lovely property, with parking. Easy check in. It is a walk down a hill to the centre, but no problem for us at all. Not the cleanest in the world, I cleaned the very smeary mirrors and dusted myself!
- Ena (10/5): Perfect 👌 -
- simone (10/5): -
- Gwenaelle (8/5): - La taille du lit et son confort, l’espace dans la chambre et la possibilité de parking privatif. L’insonorisation entre les chambres… on entend beaucoup les voisins (même s’ils n’étaient pas bruyants !)
- Christian (8/5): -
- PAUL (6/5): -
- Giulia (10/5): -

- Jones (7/5): Good location - Great location for exploring Kinsale, location is quiet, 15min walk to town Needs more attention to detail on overall cleanliness

- Emma (10/5): -
- TRICIA (9/5): Delightful 7 night stay - The location was great and just outside the charming town centre. If you don't want to take your car and drive through the narrow streets it is walkable. Room 1 (upstairs) was spacious including a walk through area between the bedroom and bathroom with a large wardrobe, makeup table, small fridge and a tea/coffee making cabinet. It was also very quiet and enabled a restful night's sleep. TV was enclosed in a bed end compartment. We could only watch it whilst lying in bed. Would have been good to access some streaming services with better shows etc. Our mattress was on the soft side.
- osull (10/5): Glover cottage stay - Clover cottage was value for money good location and very clean Nothing
- noreen (10/5): Great place to stay very central and very clean and comfortable beds we will be back again soon - Coffee and biscuits nice we hadn’t booked breakfast Everything was good
- Minch (9/5): Great presentation in a very charming home - The place is absolutely beautiful presented.Everything we could have hoped for was beautifully maintained and immaculately clean.. We had trouble finding it due to road closures and GPS woes. Our car GPS could not find it and when we saw it we could not access it without a detour.
- Jonathan (10/5): -
- Ellen (8/5): Ideal location for the start of the Wild Atlantic Way. - We needed a room for the night before starting the Wild Atlantic Way, this was perfect. A short walk into town for the meal in the evening. Nothing
- Hannah (8/5): -
- Dorthe (10/5): -
- saadia (10/5): - L'emplacement est à la fois tranquille et proche de la ville. Propre et bien équipée Tout était parfait
- Nicolini (4/5): - La décoration L'accueil, la chambre n'était pas prête et nettoyée sans soin. Logement près d'un chantier, pas de bruit ( pas d'ouvriers presents Le week-end Heureusement)
La salle de bain n'était pas très propre et il y a des odeurs qui remontent..
- Christa (7/5): - Gute und ruhige Lage und es hat alles, was man benötigt. Zimmer grossräumig. Sauberkeit eher mässig.

- Carina (1/5): - Leider gibt es nichts, was mir gefallen hat. Lediglich der Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus war in Ordnung. Es war sehr dreckig. Man wusste nicht, wo man seine Sachen abstellen sollte, ohne diese in den Dreck oder auf verschmierte und verstaubte Oberflächen zu stellen. Das Zimmer wurde vor der Ankunft maximal oberflächlich gereinigt. So etwas ist unzumutbar und überhaupt nicht empfehlenswert.

- Helmut (1/5): Grausam - Nichts Heizung ist ausgefallen, wir bekamen einen Heizlüfter dieser war laut und wir haben die ganze Nacht gefroren.In der Dusche lagen noch Schamhaare☹️Das Bad ist ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen , Baustelle am Haus und Bettrahmen runtergekracht, wir sind dann 1 Nacht früher abgereist . Kein entgegenkommen vom Vermieter- sehr traurig
- alba (1/5): Sin calefaccion, no funciona la ducha, sabana
húmeda - La ubicación Habitación muy fria las ventanas abiertas. No tiene calefaccion, la solución un calefactor con el ruido que hace toda la noche. La cama húmeda por dentro, dormir con lo que supone dormir con las sábanas humedas. Y para finalizar la ducha no funciona, el calentador o te da agua hirviendo o helada. Mala esperiencia. Suerte que fue una noche.
- Eliana (8/5): -
- Manuel (9/5): - Las instalaciones se notan reformadas hace relativamente poco. La cama era muy buena y el baño tambien.
Gran detalle que tuviera agua en la nevera y cafe y té.
- Heather (7/5): - I didn’t have breakfast. The location was perfect for my needs.?
- Desmond (9/5): Clover Cottage is a fantastic place to stay. - Clover cottage is just 1 Km from the center of Kinsale town. The room was very spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The shower was very good and toiletries were provided. There was no issue parking onsite. It was a fantastic place to stay and Liam was very helpful and responded to all questions.
- Anthony (9/5): -
- urska (10/5): - Taka prijetna lokacija 1km stran iz centra mesta. Gospod Liam prijazen, poskrbel da sva se počutili dobro.
- Recchia (8/5): -
- Wike (7/5): - All good, location about a 20 minute walk from town, so fairly convenient to get to. Nice room with all the basics. Self-check in. The main radiator didn't work but there was a fan space heater to compensate. The walk to town has intermittent footpaths, so it's a bit treacherous for a pedestrian at night.
- Ghyslaine (10/5): -
- Donna Marie (10/5): You will not be disappointed!! - The cottage was charming, clean, quiet, and exceeded our expectations. The best part was the en-suite bathroom, which is not common in a B and B. The owner, Liam, was the perfect host. He went above and beyond to facilitate the return of my passport which I had left behind in the room where my husband and I stayed.
I highly recommend Clover Cottage.
- Barry (9/5): Great Location. SHort walk to the town to enjoy Drinks with the Locals. -
- Maureen (7/5): -
- Chris (8/5): -
- darren (9/5): Beautiful place in a stunning part of the world. - The location is beautiful and the cottage itself is stunning.
The rooms were a really good size and given the weather a fan in the room was a great touch.
Also a handful of Lotus Biscoff biscuits on the tea tray, and i mean a good 6 packs, not the normal 2 in a twin room.
A short walk down the hill into Kinsale is such a selling point for Clover Cottage. only small thing could be the introduction of a breakfast, but it wouldn't put me off booking Clover Cottage again as Kinsale has lots of little breakfast spots.

- Aisling (9/5): - Liam is lovely very obliging and the house is lovely and very easy to access. Would stay again.
- Shona (10/5): - Liam was a great host and the room was clean and comfortable. Handy location, only a 10 minute walk from town.
- Chiara (7/5): Camera comoda ma non abbastanza pulita - Camera spaziosa e letto comodo. Nella camera sono presenti un piccolo frigo e un bollitore.
La posizione non è male, il centro è raggiungibile a piedi, ma la strada da percorrere è molto buia di sera, consiglio di portarvi una torcia.
Nel cortile si può parcheggiare la macchina. La pulizia era molto superficiale, quello che a una prima occhiata sembrava pulito, in realtà non lo era poi così tanto. C'era molta polvere in giro, il pavimento era sporco e il bagno così così. Sul muro del bagno in alto vi erano impronte di scarpe.
Le lenzuola ci sono sembrate pulite.
- Kristen (10/5): -
- Lida (6/5): - Nice location very close to Kinsale. The building and surrounding garden is very beautiful. The room was not that clean. We never met anyone at the check in. The communication was not good.
- Michele (10/5): Pleasurable stay - Easy self check in - good communication
- Cobano (10/5): Muy caro - La cama No habia persianas
- Abigail (10/5): Lovely stay - Everything was clean and well kept. We arrived fairly late in the evening but the host was ready to greet us and show us our rooms. Later in the night I lost our room key. Despite it being so late the host was available and located a spare key in no time. He was very forgiving.
- Patricia (7/5): -
- Cath (9/5): -
- juan carlos (10/5): -
- David (10/5): Comfortable and onsite parking - Easy check in, onsite parking, smart entrance hallway, comfortable room It was a 15-20 minute downhill walk into town (uphill on the way back) and the immediate road area outside was unlit at night
- Dainius (5/5): - Normaly Dirty
- Leimgruber (8/5): -
- Greg (6/5): - Had most things we needed for a two night stay, but wouldn't want to stay longer than that. Room was clean and well appointed but smaller than we anticipated.
We're walkers, but thought it was a little too far to walk into town, We had a car so this wasn't a major issue for us. Room was a lot smaller than expected. There were no drinking glasses when we arrived, although to the host's credit they responded quickly to our request to supply some. Room was supposed to have garden view, but really looked onto a kind of shed mostly and an adjacent construction site from what we could see.
- Francesco (9/5): -
- Rosati (10/5): Super cottage - L'authenticité du bâtiment et la superbe déco de la chambre. La glace n'est pas au dessus du lavabo mais derrière, pas facile pour se raser.
- Lynne (10/5): - Location and facilities
- Dawn (8/5): - Nice and comfortable The parking wasn’t big enough to turn around
- Orla (10/5): Great location and spacious bedroom. - Gorgeous house, great location. The bedroom was spacious with a beautiful big window at the front of the house.
Parking on-site.
Close to Kinsale town.
Ideal place to stay.
- Cal (8/5): a cute, cosy room. would recommend w - a cute room about a 15 minute walk from the centre. in a really nice location and is quiet. check in was easy nothing to add here
- Liam (10/5): -
- Annelies (6/5): Niet top - Fijne douche en bed. Zo ontzettend gehorig; we konden het gesprek in de andere kamer letterlijk verstaan en aan de kamers aan de andere kant van het huis gevraagd of de tv wat zachter kon omdat we dat in onze kamer goed konden horen.
- Rebecca (10/5): A comfortable stay close to the town center. - The location was very convenient to the town center and very walkable. The beds were comfortable and the property was clean. There was a little confusion with getting the keys at check-in, but the host was accommodating and very nice.
- Tracy (9/5): Very comfortable, ideal for us. - Lovely room, comfortable with plenty of space. Great location to the Kinsale town centre either by car or 15-20 min walk. Shower was great. Loved the dressing room and furnishings. None
- Julia (2/5): Disappointing and not worth the money. - It was a place to sleep. Soulless . Text instruction on access - that was ok. Overall felt complete lack or sensitivity to customer care or attention. Mould in shower and grout . No mattress protector - bed hard. Whiffed of sewage during night. Water in basin in morning was dark brown! Texted Liam and sent photo (see attached) to ask if this was normal - no response.
- Sharon (9/5): - Close to town & nice host!
- Karen (7/5): This is a basic, functional room and suited our needs since we spent just one night and little time in the room. A perso - Quiet location, en suite bathroom, comfortable bed. Bathroom was very small, especially the lavatory. More places to hang towels would be helpful.
- John (8/5): A lovely renovated home up the hill from town. - A very nice renovated home. I had a large, lovely suite. Parking was fine. It's a hike down to town, but a good workout. No sidewalk or streetlights for the bit closest to the house. Wi-fi was very spotty in my room, had to sit in the center hall to get some things done.
- Judith (6/5): No repetiria esta estacia - Me gusto la ubicación y que tuviera sitio para aparcar. No estaba muy limpio la verdad. El techo del lavabo tenia moho. Cuando fuimos a la cama me encontré 2 pelos. Mate a dos arañas patilargas (sé que este tipo de arañas matan a otros insectos del hogar, pero si el lugar estuviera limpio no harían falta este tipo de arañas).
- Beatrice (10/5): - Camera di dimensioni modeste ma confortevole: con tutto l'occorrente per un soggiorno breve. Abbiamo trovato anche un bollitore con the, caffè e latte: è stato utile per riscaldarci dopo una giornata ventosa. La struttura è un po' isolata ma con una camminata media si raggiunge bene il centro. Il lavandino molto piccolo
- Leslie (8/5): Nice, clean spot in Kinsale . - Lots of info brochures and maps of the surrounding area. Lovely spot for a home base in Kinsale.
- Hadley (8/5): -
- Yvonne (7/5): - It was average place to stay The bathroom smelt of cigarettes ?
- Jacqueline (10/5): Very close to thee town centre a nice walk to town and a short taxi ride back home - All good Nothing to fault it was very modern up to date

- Maureen (10/5): Beautiful home, super clean and responsive owner. - Very clean. Liam, the owner was very responsive to all our questions. Easy to access and a beautiful property. Couldn’t walk to town. Bathroom needs more shelves to hold your stuff. Shower was very small.
