There was nothing not to like about this lovely place. It is close to everything in Kinsale. Our room was beautifully laid out and spacious, every little detail had been thought of and the shower was great. Breakfast was very generous with fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt and 3 options of delicious cooked breakfasts on offer. Maeve the lovely host couldn't have been more kind and helpful, on one morning we had to leave early and she offered to make us breakfast to take with us. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this lovely place to stay in Kinsale.

    Great view, and a lovely spacious house! You get all the necessities, such as tea, sugar, handwash, cleaning products, etc., and the kitchen is fully equipped too, so you can easily cook something yourself or have a nice barbecue outside. The agency, Trident Holiday Homes, is also very quick to help with questions and problems, and both Mairéad and Jacqui have been a pleasure to deal with!

    This is a beautiful barn conversion in a lovely quiet location. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make sure everything is spot on. We loved the decor, the facilities and the surroundings and especially appreciated the warm welcome from the furries (and the humans!) Our stay gave us special memories of our trip to the area. Also, a special shout out to the Flour House in Riverstick village which supplied us with excellent scones, pastries and bakes.
