Company information

Hello, My name is James and I live in the U.K. but I was born in Co Limerick originally. Ihave been visiting Kinsale for the last 10 years as I fell in love with the superb cuisine, lively pubs and fantastic scenery not to mention the friendly locals so now spend half the year here. I recently purchased these apartments in Main Street Kinsale and decided to refurbish them to a high standard and let them as Airbnb apartments so that other people can also enjoy what Kinsale has to offer and hopefully love it as much as I do. My manager Varun will be on hand to welcome you in all my 3 properties in Kinsale, sorry I forgot to mention The Old Dispensary and Garda House are also my properties. Varun will be of assistance anyway he can. I truly hope you have a most wonderful stay in my apartments. You can also view these beautiful apartments on YouTube video, just type in The Post House Kinsale and enjoy and I wish you wonderful stay at my property's.
