We cannot say enough about how wonderful Betty and Conor are. Their warm open-hearted hospitality absolutely made our stay - between that and the cozy comfortable room, we instantly decided to book an additional night. Kinsale was truly a highlight on our tour of Ireland, and despite falling in love with the town and its history (and location, and weather, and food, and sites) staying at Orchid Farm was no small part of that.
We had a car, so we had no issues travelling to or from their place. Conor and Betty were ready with coffee or tea at any time (Murphy the dog was equally friendly but not so handy with the teapot), they provided great ideas for where to eat and what to see. Their place seemed to attract friendly lovely travellers, because the others we met at the breakfast table (loaded with toast and fruit coffee, tea, yoghurt, cereal) were so great that we lingered over coffee to chat before setting off each morning.
Our shared bathroom was bright and clean, the room was spotless, the wifi decent until the fog came rolling in, the coffee strong and we were completely reluctant to leave. We'll be back. And we are hoping Conor and Betty put themselves up for adoption, because we'd like to keep them.
