Perfect vacation
We were met with warmth and scones by our host. The cottage is adorable, spacious and ultra-clean so it was a joy to stay there. We came and went through the week, like it was our little home away from home. Would love to stay there again! Definitely recommend Cara Cottage and Kinsale for a lovely taste of Ireland.

Comfortable Cara’s Cottage!
What a lovely little break we’ve all had in beautiful Kinsale! Our accommodation was very homely, clean & comfortable. Great location & not too far from Cork airport. We travelled along the coast to some beautiful locations but enjoyed coming ‘home’ to a welcoming log burner! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cara’s Cottage to anyone considering traveling to this beautiful part of the world - in-fact we will!! The Sargent’s & Joslin’s.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Houston

Host profile image
We have lived adjacent to Marian Cottage and Cara's Cottage since 1999 and have been operating them as holiday lets since 2000. We have been subscribers to HomeAway and its forerunners all this time.
We are usually around during your stay should you need assistance but the cottages are completely independent of our own house and we try to be as discreet as possible!

Why they chose this property

Both Marian Cottage and Cara's Cottage are located in Scilly, a village-like community 7 minutes walk from Kinsale town centre.
Kinsale gets very busy in peak season so Scilly offers a quiet respite from the bustle in town while being within easy walking distance.
We also have off-street parking which is a big benefit as parking in town can be hard to find when the town is busy in the summer months.
The Spaniard Pub and Man Friday restaurant are within 1 minute walk of the cottages; 2 of the best pubs/restaurants in town!
