This unit is situated above the waterfront of Kinsale. We spent a week in this little town and had poor weather, yet weâre never bored, or without some thing to do. And when our day was done, we could come back to this sweet apartment that was completely and perfectly outfitted for self catering. It is easy to do all of your meals out at the wonderful local restaurants but itâs also a joy to be able to come home and make a simple soup for dinner. The Alms House was a great location. Both the owner the manager made our stay easy and comfortable; charming people, both.
This property exceeded all expectations! Kevin has gone above and beyond in his refurbishing of these historic buildings! He is a lovely host and the property is super comfy, has everything you need, has spectacular views and is a quick 5 minute walk from everything in Kinsale. We will defi itely defi itely be back!! Already missing it....
