The Lemon Leaf Cafe Bar And Townhouse – A Favorite for Families in Kinsale

The Lemon Leaf Cafe on the ground floor serves breakfast daily with a variety of options, including gluten-free and vegan choices. The cafe stays open late, offering dinner and drinks until late hours, a rare find in Kinsale. Guests with special dietary needs receive individualized menus upon request, a service noted in the property's 2016 Best Cafe/Foodie nomination.

The townhouse has rooms with en suite bathrooms, Nespresso coffee machines, and USB charging points. Family rooms with a double and a single bed are available, as are smaller double rooms ideal for solo travelers. Each room includes a TV and tea-making facilities, with some rooms offering views of Main Street or the quieter rear courtyard.

The property is on Main Street in central Kinsale, a 2-minute walk from the tourist office and 5 minutes from Desmond Castle and the town museum. Free public parking is available a 5-minute walk away, and Cork Airport is 21 km from the townhouse. Nearby attractions include Kinsale Harbour, golf courses, and the Scilly coastal walk leading to Charles Fort.

The townhouse offers late-night self check-in with key boxes for guests arriving after 5 PM, and staff provide local recommendations and assistance. Bike tours and walking tours are available through the property, and the cafe's staff have been praised for their helpfulness and flexibility. The Lemon Leaf Cafe Bar and Townhouse was nominated for Best Cafe/Foodie 2016 by the Irish Restaurant Awards.
