Rocklands House and John, the owner/host, set the bar very very high for the remainder of our Ireland travels! It was our first B&B experience since leaving Dublin and it was absolutely delightful!!! Our room and the view of the harbor were perfect. John is an incredibly gracious host whose breakfasts (including the most delicious scones of our 2 week Ireland stay!) are beyond wonderful. John seemed to enjoy visiting with guests and giving local insights into the area and its people. We would definitely return to Rocklands House!

John is an absolute gent. I can't speak more highly of him. His bnb is beautiful. This was the best bnb we have stayed in. The room was lovely, good power from the shower, bed was comfy and beautiful views. The breakfast was excellent. You wouldn't get it as good in a hotel who have all turned to buffets. The breakfast here is fresh, cooked to order. The walk to town is lovely, quiet country road into the heart of kinsale, takes maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Would 100% recommend.

Beautiful setting with views of the water and surrounded by nature. Excellent B&B, lovely rooms with a nice view from the balcony. Breakfast was superb, better than any 5 star hotel breakfast. Freshly made scones and a main of your choice and lovely spread of fresh fruits and accompaniments. Parking on site and an easy walk to Kinsale town. Highly recommend. Super welcoming host.

The house was beautiful and the views from the living room and bedrooms was absolutely stunning. The bedroom was really comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was ample and delicious! John was perhaps the best host I’ve ever had from booking.com, offering to drive us into the town when we needed it and generally being incredibly happy and helpful. The whole stay was fantastic.

Nothing really! It was a little further out from the town centre than I had realised but that’s really on me for not looking at the map. I’d still go back again though!

The property had the most amazing views over the water. Waking up to the view and eating breakfast looking out over the water was a joy every day. The garden was lovely, full of beautiful flowers and butterflies. The host John was so friendly and made us all feel very welcome. He served up a delicious full Irish cooked breakfast and gave us great recommendations on where to eat and sights to see while we were staying in Kinsale. The short stroll into town is lovely, but John always offered us a lift when needed. So kind.

No complaints from myself and my friends.

Very friendly, warmth and enjoyable place to be, close to downtown but in the middle of the nature with a breathtaking landscape view of Kinsale. For sure John and his cat Simba made us feel at home in a very special way. Thanks a lot!

A take away breakfast for who needs to leave before the breakfast time would be a must. Something to bit before getting to the destination (in our case the airport). All coffee shops were closed and would have been very appreciated.

A delightful location at the top of a hill with lovely sea views and a short 15 minute walk down into Kinsale. Warm and friendly welcome and the property is delightful and our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional and the host very helpful, would have liked to have stayed longer.

the property is on scenic road into the beautiful town of Kinsale. the main man John is an amazing host he goes above & beyond for all your needs. He freshly bakes scones every morning straight from the oven and bakes his own wheaten bread. Amazing! The breakfast is amazing, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice and a cooked breakfast made perfect. I can’t emphasise enough how great John is at making you feel at home. the views from the property are priceless, stunning overlooking the water. Seaview rooms are the best.

that we had to leave.

The best breakfast in Ireland during my 3 weeks of stay. Everything comfortable, luxurious breakfast room, which can also be used at evening to whatch the bay and the sailing ships. Owner is very friendly and helpful and he took us into town at evening, where he wanted to shop. It's so quiet at evening, you can reach the town in 10-15 minutes walk, but there are some stairs...

Nothing, really nothing

The location is a bit of a walk to downtown (20 min), but the setting by the river is quiet and beautiful. Our river view room with balcony was delightful. John is a friendly host and offers a nightcap in the breakfast/lounge room. Breakfast choices are plentiful and two options for a cooked meal. The family cat and dog also like to greet the guests outdoors.

Nothing.
