11th June 2015 at 5:23 pm #7464WilloParticipantHi all
I have spent time over the last few months trying to organise accommodation in Kinsale that could accommodate a large group of us with no success. I did however today manage to find one place that could possible take all of us (c. 15) but it may not be to everyones taste as it is a hostel.
The name of the hostel is Dempseys Hostel Kinsale. The location looks great, the accommodation is cheap (€20 a night I believe) but it is obviously basic, you won’t have a single room, you may be in a bunk bed and you won’t get breakfast!
I have reserved a 4 bed room in the hostel which will cost €40 each for 2 nights. I’ve already paid a deposit for the room, so if some guys (or girls if you really want to!) want to book into the same room they can ring the hostel manager directly (Finola – 086 1098765) and pay her the €40 by credit card. She will keep the other beds in the room for the moment but not indefinitely.
Finola also has beds in girl and boys dorms so if you want to book into those now, I advise you ring her in the next 24 hours otherwise she will not keep them.
I’d really advise booking a bed now and I want to apologise for not getting better accommodation sorted. If anyone else has any idea’s please let me know as I wouldn’t mind forgoing my deposit to get us all into holiday homes on the beach!
Just for information these are the properties I checked in the Kinsale region. Some are totally sold out (as indicated below) or some just don’t have room to accomodate us all.

I am booked into Rivermount House 021 4778033 on Friday and Saturday with one of the girls. I have booked a twin room for 2 others for the FRiday night. I spoke to the lady who owns it just now and she has a room to sleep 4 people on the Friday – no availability as yet for Saturday, but at least people could be in Kinsale pre race!
I told her to expect a call fro Piranha Tri Club, so anyone who would prefer not a hostel give her a call. She said often the bookings cancel on the day (sowe all might get Saturday night)
