Jim Edward’s Bar, Restaurant & Guesthouse
Review
In the very heart of Kinsale, Jim Edwards of Kinsale offers a warm, character-filled stay above one of the town’s best loved family-run venues. A cornerstone of local hospitality since 1971, this award-winning business has evolved beautifully, with the Edwards family extending their trusted standards into good, quality accommodation. The rooms are comfortable, thoughtfully presented and ideal for guests who want to be right in the middle of Kinsale’s vibrant historic streets, harbour atmosphere and evening buzz. Service is where this place truly shines: friendly, attentive and genuinely proud of the welcome they provide. While breakfast isn’t served on site, that’s hardly a drawback, with excellent cafés just minutes away. Jim Edwards focuses on what it does best, honest Irish hospitality, done properly every time.

On the outskirts of Kinsale, Blacks Brewery & Distillery stands out as one of the area’s most memorable visitor experiences.
