    We loved this place. It is stylish & beautifully simple (they have preserved all the old parts of the alms houses like the wooden beams and heavy doors too), clean with all mod cons, even a washing machine & dish washer with all the detergents...

    Beautiful cottage in the heart of Kinsale. Perfect inside and out, just refurbished. Tiny, but perfect for a couple. Excellent location…just a few mins walk to the centre.
