We stayed 3 nights in early June 2024 due to weather.
Harbour staff excellent, very attentive
Local shop closed for refurbishment - open late June
Chandlers very comprehensive stocks
Local chip shop outstanding, fishmonger great and local cafes good.Pub up the hill is good, food only at weekend.
Locally run cafe half way up hill to pub/church is excellent value
All in all a great experience
Nervous re crossing St Patricks bridge and came in from the South - tricky, lots of pots, and, they use polypropylene lines THEY FLOAT, take care.
If you take care on St Patricks bridge, no problem

Stayed for 2 nights early June 2024, including the Irish bank holiday Monday.

Approach requires vigilance over St Patrick’s Bridge and following the leading marks. Immediate turn to port at the entrance of the harbour.

Harbour Master and everyone incredibly friendly and helpful. We stayed on the west hammerhead. No one rafted next to us, or elsewhere.

Kilmore Quay is very attractive village. Mix of a busy working harbour, and holiday resort. Good pubs and restaurants and more thatched cottages in a short space that I’ve ever seen.

Fish and chips opposite possibly best I’ve ever had. Close by is a beach sauna. €15 50 minutes. Nearby chandler very well stocked. Fuel pontoon self service and available 24 hours. Diesel only. We took the bus to Wexford for an explore only 50 minutes and good view of the countryside.

Will definitely be back.

1 euro for 4-min shower, short walk from pontoons. Great icecream shop opposite marina and amazing beaches to the left and right of the marina- just a couple of minutes walk. Harbour master will always find you a place- we were rafted 4 deep for one night then got our own berth. 30 euros a night berth.

No changes, not even prices but watch this space for next year.

No changes. Not even the price (and their "summer" season finishes at the end of August)

These notes were reviewed in July 2019. Thank you for the comments below - they make keeping the main text up to date so much easier! I've included the remarks about the shower block's opening hours (This practice is becoming more prevalent). I'm uploading new charts; I have a memory of a "reported rock" on the Saltees chart a few years ago - seems to have either been removed or conformed and edited in.

Very nice harbour with nice walks and bike routes.
Showers open till 7 PM ( € 1.00 4 min.)
Easy harbour with frienly harbourmaster.
pays € 2,00 p/m in May (from June = 2,50)
Nice stop before to go to Wexford
You have to pay for the electra 10 kWhrs for € 5,00 if you by more it's cheeper

A delightful harbour, yet bizarrely, the marina shower/toilet block is locked from 5pm till 9am the next morning. (Sept - May)
and from 8pm to 8am (June - Aug).

I reviewed these notes in April 2017 and nothing has changed; not even the price (mind you for an 8 m boat it's steep)

I can vouch for the HM quoted as saying "There's always room". Got there on 7th June (Tuesday) and rafted up 3 deep. By the time we got back from the pub there was another boat outside us!

These notes were reviewed by Don in April 2015. Prices remain the same and I have added a note re clearing away before entering the approach channel.

The low coast reminded me of the Netherlands, along with the leading poles into the harbor.

Dont delay turning left into the harbor as the beach really does go up to the entrance.

Very helpful harbor master who shuffled a couple to get us in. many thanks. His comment is, we are never full, we will get an arrival in some how. 1.8 mtr in the entrance at low water springs apparently at least 8 feet in the bridge this year.

Nice bread from the near shop by the quay, along with excellent butcher.

These notes were updated 2nd December by Don Thomson. Prices were held in 2013 and Wifi has been added.
