Today, as we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we reflect on the people, stories, and moments that have shaped the last 80 years and look ahead with excitement to the future.

Over the decades, Kinsale transformed into a vibrant destination celebrated for its sailing, food, history, and culture. Actons Hotel evolved alongside it, continually welcoming returning guests while introducing new generations to the charm of West Cork.
A Place for Celebrations
For 80 years, Actons has been part of lifeβs special moments β weddings, anniversaries, family gatherings, reunions, and unforgettable escapes. Many guests who visited as children now return with families of their own.
