5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2012

The couple that run the Old Pres were very welcoming. We only stayed one night, and they helped us to figure out the directions back to Dublin to catch our flight the next day. The rooms were a treat after the hotel of the previous night. Clean, and comfy. Our room was a family suite, shared by myself and daughter... More

My husband and I stayed with Noreen and Phillip for 2 nights in April of 2012. This is the most wonderful place. We traveled throughout Ireland and hands down this was the best place. The room was just lovely, the food excellent and Noreen was just great. I just wish I could give this more than five stars. If you... More

I took a trip to Ireland with a friend: In preparation-- I've logged hours on tripadvisor, watched every Rick Steves DVD, interviewed Irish friends living in America, and read multiple guide books page-by-page, and even watched "out of Ireland" on PBS in NYC every week. (Yes, I was obsessed with planning the perfect trip and I'm an investigator by nature)... More

Have wanted to check out this place for some time and had the opportunity last night to finally go there. Have been to Kinsale many times but this was my first time at The Old Presbytery, certainly worth the wait. Drove into the courtyard on the off chance that there might be a room and was welcomed by Noreen &Philip... More

Recently stayed in Penthouse suite with family. Room was immaculately clean, roomy and had the most comfortable beds we experienced in our 11 days in Ireland. Breakfast was wonderful and Phillip suggested lunch and dinner restaurants that were spot on. On our next trip to Ireland this will be a must-stay! More

Hand's down, one of the best hotel experiences for a family of four... ever!! First of all, Noreen & Phillip McAvoy are the best! We travelled to Ireland (from California) in October 2011. We're a family of four (two parents, 2 adult children) and we were looking for a quad/family room and we landed the best in Ireland. If you're... More

The Old Presbytery has everything; excellent location, delicious breakfasts, parking lot, authentically friendly innkeepers. We loved our town view from the top floor. We had a very spacious room and bath. Noreen and Phillip are such naturals. They obviously enjoy what they do and really make you feel at home. We wish we could have stayed longer than two nights....
