Situated in the heart of the harbour town Kinsale, on Main Street, The Lemon Leaf Cafe Bar & Townhouse offers free WiFi, and features the Lemon Leaf Cafe on the ground floor.

Cute place with cafe below. Beds really comfy. We booked the family room just for the two of us, to get a little extra space as the rooms are small but are described well on the site. Initially, loved the location as it was right in the main street, however at night, this proved to be not so good. If you're a heavy sleeper or have good earplugs, you'll be fine but hubby was kept awake at night by late revellers and then very early start for workman and delivery trucks going about their day. Especially unlucky to strike bin night as well! They all go right past the window. Bathroom was good. Still a great place to stay, just pack those earplugs!

It was very good, the only problem was that around 3 am the guest next to our bedroom had a noisy meeting and they woke us up. We could hear everything and it happened the same next morning. I

    Phil is a lovely host. My room was spotless and the breakfast was lovely. There was unlimited top ups if you wanted more of anything I was getting there and leaving at odd times so Phil kept my luggage to help me out. Only points to be prepared for is the B&B only take cash, and if you don’t have a car it’s a very steep incline to the property. Would definitely recommend
