A very special place to stay in the heart of Kinsale. 

Perched above the harbour with sweeping views across the Bay of Kinsale, this beautifully restored 18th-century house combines the character and romance of historic Kinsale with the comfort of a luxurious contemporary home. Filled with natural light and just a short stroll from the town's celebrated restaurants, harbour and sailing clubs, it offers a wonderfully private setting from which to experience one of Ireland's most beautiful coastal towns.

A magnificent private corner-terraced house of special architectural merit, dating from circa 1760 and occupying an elevated position with panoramic views across the entire Bay of Kinsale.

The house is distinguished by its unusual and beautiful period architecture, including locally quarried slate cladding, decorative corbels, a large oriel window, an elegant bow-fronted bay and traditional sash windows extending across the south and south-east elevations. These flood the house with natural light while taking full advantage of its exceptional outlook over Kinsale Harbour and the bay beyond.

Recently comprehensively renovated and refurbished, the house now provides an exceptionally high standard of accommodation and modern comfort while carefully retaining its historic character and original architectural features.

The interiors are elegant and understated, with subtle references to Kinsale's rich maritime heritage. Accommodation includes three beautifully appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms, together with a generous living and dining room, roof top terrace, fully equipped kitchen and separate utility room.

Contemporary bathrooms, power showers, underfloor heating and thoughtfully designed ambient lighting have been incorporated throughout, providing all the comforts expected of a high-end modern home without compromising the character of this very special historic property.

Despite its wonderfully private and elevated setting, the house is within easy walking distance of the centre of Kinsale, with its renowned restaurants, cafés, traditional pubs, independent shops, harbour and sailing clubs all close at hand.

Fully serviced and thoughtfully prepared for guests, the house provides an elegant and exceptionally comfortable base from which to enjoy Kinsale, its harbour and the beautiful West Cork coastline.
