    Gorgeous house with a warm welcome on a rather wet and cold day. Fresh sheets smelt lovely (bonus points) Nice safe space for two female travellers. Great communication, quick to reply any questions. Fantastic recommendation for watching the rugby in town. Warm big room, plenty space to hang clothes. Private parking on property right outside front door.

    The interior design was absolutely stunning, we loved how spacious it was & how homely it was. Veronica was the hostess with the mostess, honestly she couldn’t have done more for us with a fridge stocked, bottle of wine & a box of chocolates on arrival . She even helped me out for my best friends weddings by dropping me to the venue. Never stayed in a more lovely place.

    A modern boutique style stay. Excellent location in the centre of Kinsale with a very good restaurant on the ground floor. Very stylish rooms with a lot of attention to detail. The beds are super comfortable and the shower is excellent. Felt very cosy and luxurious. A lot of thought has gone into the design and furnishings throughout. Highly recommended!
