Kinsale Town Centre

Travel Guide

Originally a medieval fishing port, historic Kinsale (from the Irish, Ceann tSaile – ‘Head of the Sea’) is one of the most picturesque, popular and historic towns on the south west coast of Ireland. Kinsale is in County Cork in the province of Munster and just 25km from Cork City and Cork International Airport, and is the gateway to scenic ‘West Cork’ and the start/finish point of the ‘Wild Atlantic Way,’ the 2,500km coastal journey from Kinsale, Co Cork to Inishowen, Co Donegal. https://www.kinsale.ie/

Great location, needs improvement.
The apartment is in a great location with easy key box access, Wi-Fi, warm water, and a spacious layout. The kitchen is nice but lacks basic dishes and pans.
