Ms. Mary took us in last minute with no problems. She is a lovely lil elderly lady that is 4th generation of Kinsale. They own the local Tap Tavern just down the hill from the Sea Gull House B&B. They B&B is also located next door to the Desmond Castle which made it easy to find at night after walking... More

We stayed at the Seagull House on Rick Steeves book recommendation. This is a cute B&B that reminded me of what my Irish grandmother's home used to look like. Mary is adorable and generous and kind. The rooms are clean and small, but comfortable. We told her that our toilet wasn't working and she ran up the stairs to fix... More

I had read the reviews prior, so I was prepared for the cold - no problems there. Mary was in The Tap Tavern as expected and was as sweet as could be. Be aware that "street parking" is hard to find - you might have to park a block or so away from the house. My biggest problem was the... More

Nice place. Good location right in town in Kinsale. Great breakfast. Nice hostess. More

We were supposed to stay at another B&B but somehow the reservation was never consumated so wanting to be in walking distance to the center of Kinsale this was the best B&B available.

The room was creepy, small, dirty, and we could hear everyone flushing their toilets and talking throughout the night. Mary owns and works at the... More

Super great stay with Mary O'Neill. So much fun with others who stayed there for past eight yrs. who came to fish. Great location, most fun town, great feel for old old building and true Irish hospitality and getting to know the locals. She owns the pub down the street. Thanks Mary! Mike and JoAnne Tressler More

We stayed here with our adult son and his wife. The streets are very narrow and steep but we had no problem finding the place. Parking can be found on the street above the castle next door or in the large car park in the city center, near the TI office, a 5 minute walk away. Mary was waiting on... More

Mary is a wonderful hostess with intimate knowledge of Kinsale and Ireland. Breakfast was good, the craic was mighty! If you want a taste of Ireland with a gracious and knowledgable host, this is the place. Right in town, clean and well maintained, reasonable rates. We will visit over and over. More
