Friar’s Lodge

Friar’s Lodge

Review

In a town as storied as Kinsale, every corner feels like a fresh chapter, and Friar’s Lodge fits that spirit perfectly. Welcoming guests since 1989, this much-loved small hotel continues to shine under its latest custodian, Maureen Tierney, whose reputation in Kinsale hospitality is well deserved. From the moment you arrive, the warmth is genuine: you are treated less like a booking and more like an old friend. The rooms are comfortable, characterful, and wonderfully traditional, with the kind of quiet that guarantees proper rest. Value for money is excellent, making this award-winning stay even more appealing. Breakfast is a real standout, generous, beautifully prepared, and clearly crafted with care. Friar’s Lodge is Kinsale hospitality done right for modern travellers and returning guests.
