You could not wish for a more central convenient location than this. You have a selection of either an en-suite room, a room with a kitchen or a self-contained one bedroom apartment in this beautiful home located in the heart of Kinsale. Kinsale is home to over 65 eateries and is known as the Gourmet Capital of Ireland! All restaurants are within walking distance of the apartments and you will be spoiled for choice in terms of pubs and bars with many providing traditional live music each evening. Kindly note that there are public steps leading to the property and rooms are spread across 3 levels. There is no lift in The Old Dispensary. Just about everything is in walking distance but bike, taxi and car hire are readily available. There are plenty of other things to do in Kinsale other than eat or drink although these are a great place to start! Great for Golfers as home to the world famous 'The Old Head of Kinsale' Golf course. Historic places to visit such as Charles Fort, Desmond Castle etc. Lovely beaches which are hugely popular for water sports. Horse Riding, Hiking, Breath taking scenery. Kinsale Tourist centre is located very close by where you will be able to get...
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.
Kinsale is a beautiful quaint harbour town which is home to over 66 eateries and is known as the Gourmet Capital of Ireland!
