We stayed over the Kinsale Rugby Seven's weekend but nothing was too much trouble for Jimmie and the staff. We could come and go as we pleased and Jimmie was a font of all knowledge as to the best places to go and eat, to visit and we even saw him sing in the Spaniard pub with Michael. We had... More

We had orginially booked another B and B, however when we arrived they had heating problems so they kindly booked us at the San Antonio. We lucked out. Jimmie was a easy going, friendly, and helpful host. The room had everything we needed, including a small view of the church tower a few blocks away. Breakfast was hardy and we... More

I am very overdue singing my praises of Jimmie's place. It is a trick to find the place, but once there, we were warmly welcomed, comfortably housed and well fed. Jimmie was great with directions and suggestions and even dared a commment or two about current events. How Irish is that? In any case, this is a great choice in... More

We loved staying at the San Antonio. The location is great and Jimmy is an excellent host. He makes a wonderful breakfast and always took time to chat with us and make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. He gave us excellent recommendations and suggested we drive around the Beara Peninsula which was beautiful. Would definitely stay... More

We enjoyed our stay in Kinsale. Jimmie was a great host with good advice as to where we might find some local music. Parking was fine and a very short walk into the heart of the town. More

We enjoyed our stay in Kinsale very much. It is a quaint, clean & lovely little town that is made for strolling. Fort Charles is not too bad a walk from this excellently located B&B. The rest of Kinsale is right down the street and around the corner. The host, Jimmy, is a low keyed person ready to make your... More

Kinsale is a wonderful place to visit and Jimmie is a great host. The B&B is located a very short walking distance to pretty much everything you want to see in Kinsale. We had 2 rooms for our group of 3 adults and teenager and a 9-month baby. To ensure our comfort he gave us the top floor just for... More

We stayed at the San Antonio for a couple of nights in July. Jimmy the host is extremely friendly and helpful, and cooks a great breakfast (with various options). The B&B is also located just a couple of minutes stroll from the middle of Kinsale. Our room on the top floor was very comfortable and is excellent value for money.... More

Location was excellent in the heart of the beautiful little port town of Kinsale. The place had a real old-world charm - not fancy but comfortable and homey. But it was Jimmie who made the stay exceptional - fun and funny, great advice on what to see and do in town, and great trad musician too (get his CD -... More
