    The location was beautiful, on the water. Noreen was friendly and accommodating. It was very clean, and well maintained. Noreen made us a wonderful breakfast in the morning before we continued our drive along the ring of Kerry.

    This is a lovely BnB in Kinsale. It is located just outside the city center. It is a lovely 15 min walk to town & the views are spectacular. A perfect place to stay while boating the Ring of Kerry.

Pre booking is advised if visiting the UNESCO world heritage site Skellig Michael, now also famed in Star Wars.

We receive a stream of excellent feedback from our walkers who hike the Beara Way and who stay here, telling us how kind and friendly Noreen is and how hearty the food is.
