Our experience was great with the improvements even betterOne thing that needs improvement is the sink in the bathroom requires a new rubber as it does not hold water!The washing basks had a lot of watering it when we came to use it? And twice after that it had water in it but not as much! It could be there is a leak from the hot water tank???Did not affect our stay new washing machine and mattress great.Thank you

I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay John. I only wish that you had told me about the 2 minor points that you mentioned that could have been improved. Namely, a new rubber seal on the sink in the bathroom and water in the washing/linen basket. I then could have done something about it.

Great property with everything we needed, nicely decorated & amazing view. Hedges give privacy all around. Met the nice neighbor in the adjacent bungalow. We found it easier to drive to the property from R606 rather than always through the lovely and busy Kinsale streets. Recommend it & would stay here again.

House was better than described. Immaculately clean, had everything we needed, great instructions for kitchen and hot water for showers for those of us unfamiliar with the workings of things in Ireland. View from kitchen and lounge was beautiful. Quiet and very homey, like staying with relatives. Host was always available. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful stay in Kinsale

The accommodation was very comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. The view from the back deck is spectacular. The property is within walking distance to the town but a little hilly for anyone with mobility issues. All in all a lovely time here.

Thank you Katie. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay at the house and your time in Kinsale. The house is very handily situated for the centre of Kinsale. The parking in Kinsale can be very difficult at times so it's great to have plenty of space on the drive of the house to park. We often leave our car on the drive for the whole time we're there and then just stroll into the centre. We are glad that you were able to experience that advantage also.

About the host

Hosted by Graham Hewitt

Host profile image

My wife, Mary and myself, Graham Hewitt, have a business in Leicestershire. We also live in Leicestershire and visit the house in Kinsale as often as we can.

Why they chose this property

My wife, Mary, is Irish and comes from nearby Bandon. When she was a little girl she often used to visit Kinsale with her family. It was her ambition to have a house in Kinsale one day. That dream came true in 2003. We love the position of the property, being near to the centre. Also the garden and view.

What makes this property unique

I find Kinsale a magical place. Not too big and not too small. Nice and friendly local people. There's a good variety of pubs/restaurants serving high quality food. We love to watch live music and there is plenty to choose from in Kinsale. Our house is in an ideal location being in a residential area and just 5 minutes walk to the centre. It also has great views and a nice garden.
