We stayed for 3 nights while exploring County Cork. Eileen and John were terrific hosts - very friendly and helpful. They welcomed us on arrival, made us a cup of tea and gave us some great advice about what to see and where to go for a great meal. The B&B is located in the picturesque countryside and very conveniently... More

We were luck to chance upon this B&B early evening, having seen a sign on the road. Even through unexpexted, proprietor Eileen couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. Large, comfy, spotlessly clean room & en-suite. Guest lounge and dining area. Quite location. We liked it so much, we stayed an extra night. John was exceptionally helpful with directions etc...

Slightly tricky to find for a new arrival to left hand driving on a dark, rainy and foggy night but helped immensely by several roadside direction signs and on return in daylight much easier! Excellent room and fabulous breakfast, very welcoming hosts and accommodating to our late arrival. Quiet and comfortable, with spacious rooms, we returned on our way out... More

Gorgeous house, very well fitted, strategically located near the airport (5 min. by car), close to Cork city (15 min. by car) and close to the beautifull harbour of Kinsale. Although we hadn't booked, the proietor immediatly found us a cot for our baby . In few words, courtesy and customer care are upmost in this lovely house. More

We selected this B&B because of the good reviews on TripAdvisor, and we weren’t disappointed. The rooms are very spacious, as are the bathrooms, which isn’t true of many B&Bs, even very good ones. The breakfasts were also very well done, and the couple who runs Insiara are genuinely friendly and helpful. They dug out an old guitar because my... More

I wouldn't usually be a fan of B&Bs but I'm re-appraising my stance after staying here. This was a lovely B&B. The couple who run it were very helpful, to the extent that they gave us a lift down to our friends who we were visiting a few miles away. So so nice. Eileen (I think) was very apologetic that...

We thoroughly recommend Insiara. We have stayed in many great B&Bs over the years but none better than this. The welcome was very friendly. The hosts, John and Eileen, could not have done more for us. Our room was roomy and bright with a large en-suite bathroom. Everything was clean and the breakfasts were excellent. If we are ever back... More

The Insiara B&B was our last stay during our Ireland-Tour (unfortunately we only spent the one night) and we found it not only very pleasant but the warmth and kindness of our hosts made us feel at home. It made a long and busy day seem like a bagatelle at last. Insiara B&B is located in a nice countryside and... More

Eileen and John, proprietors, gave thoughtful tourist information and accurate, simple road directions. Eileen even provided our room with wine glasses upon seeing an emply bottle in the trash. Insiara was recommended to us by friends and we will pass that recommendation on to others. This is a truly exceptional B&B, especially for Eileen's and John's gracious hospitaliry. More
