Bungalow in Kinsale With Great Views just 5 Minutes Walk to Kinsale Centre

Bungalow in Kinsale With Great Views just 5 Minutes Walk to Kinsale Centre

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I enjoyed our week stay at Graham's. The comfortable and spacious bungalow was as described, with a lovely backyard, and within walking distance to cafes and shops. The kitchen was well-equipped with instructions for appliance use conveniently displayed. Quality bed linens and oversized towels were an added bonus. Although situated just off the road, the bungalow was very quiet and private. The afternoon sun was wonderfully relaxing, especially after a day exploring. Wonderful host as well. Highly recommend!"

10/10 Excellent
"We spent two nights in Kinsale at Long Quay House and we highly recommend the place. The location is awesome, the room was clean with a great shower, and the property is in very good condition. The owner and staff were very helpful. Breakfasts are cooked to order. We had eggs and salmon, eggs with bacon, and porridge with fruit. There is also a self serve area with fresh croissants, scones, bread, yogurt, fruit, and a small selection of cheeses and salamis. Although there is not parking on site, there is parking directly across the street. It is readily accessible and free overnight (6pm-1030am). During the day, the city charges for parking at these same spots with pay kiosks available. But the owner also showed us where there was free parking during the day, located (about 75 yards away)."
