Property information

Welcome to the Giles Norman Townhouse. Our guest accommodation is a new venture and the idea was born out of wanting to offer luxury accommodation with a creative twist. We see the guestrooms as extensions of the Giles Norman gallery – each individual room has been curated by Giles himself, exhibiting pieces from his many portfolios. The townhouse is home to Giles’s gallery and studio – it’s a creative space where his photographs come to life. Our vision was to build an interior aesthetic for our guests that reflects both Giles’s artistry and photographic style. The Giles Norman Townhouse is located right in the heart of Kinsale, overlooking the stunning harbour.

Neighbourhood information

Kinsale is the beautiful coastal town that marks the beginning (and end) of the Wild Atlantic Way, and is only twenty-minutes drive from Cork International Airport. Whether you are visiting Kinsale from abroad or elsewhere in Ireland, our guest accommodation will give you the perfect balance of luxury, privacy and prime location. Kinsale is our home – it’s the town where we raised our family and built our business, and we couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. We love waking up to stunning harbour views and walking along the historical streets, which are lined with the country’s best restaurants, cafés and wine bars. Kinsale also has a wide range of entertainment to offer its visitors with plenty of land and water based activities, along with various historical tours, scenic walks and coastal drives. Giles & Catherine Norman
