10/11/2025: Had a lovely and intimate wedding in the Seaview House Hotel. Ronan and Lidia were so helpful during the build up to the wedding and the whole team were absolutely flawless on the day. 10/10 would strongly recommend for a special intimate wedding or just for a weekend get away. The hotel, grounds and food are stunning.

13/08/2025: I had the opportunity to stop in during my late travels at the Seaview House Hotel & Spa, on Oct 16, 2019. I would call it a manor rather than a house, with its beautiful gardens and historically themed interior. Not far from the property, you can take a walk along the shoreline and take in panoramic views unlike any you've seen before. I was fortunate they had availability, as I arrived late that night, but the accommodations were no less than expected. The following morning, I had a chance to dine in the breakfast hall and enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast. I had the company of other guests, one of whom stood out a young woman with her daughter sitting at the table next to mine. Her daughter was like a young duckling, full of life, so to speak. The hotel itself, along with its staff, went far beyond expectations. I would have loved to stay longer, but I needed to attend to my business endeavours. If you're looking for a quiet, family-oriented spa retreat, there's nothing quite like stopping in at the Seaview House Hotel & Spa a true country inn, if you will for anyone in need of relaxation.

16/10/2025: Beautiful food, friendly staff and a warm cozy cafe with some outdoor seating.

04/05/2026: Pricing gouging like you wouldn't see in Temple Bar. The price of a pint went up every hour. I understand that every bar in kinsale needs to make a few bob for the 7s weekend. But this was just extortion. Adding an extra star because the staff were lovely in fairness.

03/05/2026: Very poor service was waiting for 20minutes to order
