Lovely historic house in Kinsale

The house has been fitted out to a high standard and is very comfortable with wonderful views across the bay. It was perfect for our visit to see other family members in the area. The host was very accommodating and all our needs were addressed.

Beautiful accommodation in an historically significant Kinsale home

Kinsale was a last-minute decision on our girl's trip of Ireland and wow are we glad of it. Serendipitously we stumbled across Kevin's listing to find we were not only his first guests but that he spends 6 months of the year just down the road from us in Australia on the Mornington Peninsula. Beautifully restored and equipped we felt right at home immediately. We also learned a little about the home's significance to the area - unbelievably following the ghost tour the tour leader found a film of his father, a local priest in 1963 fighting to save this very house from demolition. We are grateful to all - this was a highlight of our trip & we were sad to leave. Great proximity to the town centre & minutes walk from the wonderful Black Pig wine bar, we can't wait to return.
