Trisha’s home was much lovelier than the photos: it was exquisite and also comfortable. Trisha was very helpful, and the location was steps from our favorite restaurant. We would gladly stay there again.

Beautiful property w a lovely fenced in sunken courtyard w 2 sets of French doors that lead out to it. Cottage is at top of a hill. You can walk up and down the hill or take the Anne Bonnie stairs. 61 steps. The steps in the cottage leading to the wonderful bedrooms are very steep. The rooms are very spacious w the best comforters ever around. Mattresses was a bit to firm for me. To get hot water for sinks you need to hit a switch. Pull the string for the shower hot water. And it gets hot. Be careful. There are radiators for heat that you need to turn on if you want them warm and remember to turn them Off when you won’t be in that room. We only used the kitchen one. We mostly used the fireplace. If I ever had a a question I got an answer right away. The building is a pale pink and in the sun at first it looks more white. Parking is a challenge. There is parking behind it. Get a small car. It’s tight to get up the small hill that is kinda like a super narrow drive w a building on one side brink wall on the other and a couple of turns you need to make. Our 1st try we added some we white paint to the car from the building. We did not have a small car. In Kinsale you need a little car. Parking is a challenge, the roads are narrow and people are parking blocking lanes. The cottage had a great kitchen w everything you need. Somee Wed items are left behind for others. We left extra toilet paper and some orchard thieves cider. Along w some tea lights. Large dining room table. Has a washer. Not a fan of the condenser dryer but the drying rack is upstairs in the closet. It worked good. Kitchen gets morning sun and dries the clothes nicely. Place is decorated very nice. Lots of books to choose from. We bought some flowers and there is a vase there. Wine glasses for wine. For the money it’s a great option.

Perfectly situated and so so comfortable. We loved it. Will be back!

We had a lovely relaxed stay in Trishas house. Highly recommended.

This property was uber cute and super sweet on all accounts. The house is wonderfully outfitted with everything you need. Trish was lovely to deal with any time we had questions. Her house is so exquisite and decorated so nicely. We loved every moment of our cozy cuddly stay.

We loved this property. It immediately felt like home. It’s well equipped, stylishly decorated and extremely comfortable. It’s just a couple of minutes walk to the centre of Kinsale, but has parking, which was great. Trisha, the host, was friendly and helpful too. We are already missing the place!

homely, welcoming really well stocked and really v pretty garden with garden furniture

Great location & only a few short minutes that Kinsale has to offer

Kinsale is really a pleasant city near to Cork And the home is confortable for vacation.

Wonderful time !!

Trish is a Super host. 18 Higher O’Connell Street is really lovely. Everything there that one needs. Perfectly clean and comfortable. Beautiful outside space. Convenient location. Everything within walking distance. We loved our stay there and would choose this property again when visiting kinsale. Trish was most attentive and helpful.

We had an amazing stay in Trisha's property. It felt like a real home from home. Such a great location,literally moments from the centre of Kinsale. The house has everything you could possibly need, so well equipped. Really comfy for lounging round on rainy days, we enjoyed watching the Olympics on the cosy couch! Lovely outdoor area for eating when the sun came out. Comfy beds and soft linen. We loved everything about this property and we will hopefully be back some time. Thanks Trisha.

We cannot recommend Trisha’s house enough. We completely relaxed in it and it has a very welcoming feeling. It is beautifully furnished & very comfortable. The house is very central, with easy access to everything. Trisha was a great host, giving us suggestions of places of interest. Trisha also let us stay an extra night which was a great gift. Thank you once again Trisha, we really hope to return soon.

We have had the loveliest week here in Trisha's gorgeous house in Kinsale. We made lots of great trips during our week here including a beautiful drive to Mizen Head. I can only describe the restaurants here as being in food heaven. Hoping to return soon Julie

We had such a lovely week in Trisha’s beautifully designed house. Such an interesting little country cottage, so well equipped and very comfortable. The little garden was such a bonus and location is ideal. We will definitely be returning and Trisha was a pleasure to deal with.

Beautiful house, very eclectic and quirky and very comfortable. Most importantly it is exactly what you see online. Excellent location, will definitely be back.

All in all excellent accomodation. Didn't want for anything. Really well decorated with lots of character. Central to town and great base for touring beyond too.

The house is beautifully decorated as well as functional. We felt welcome and at home from the moment we arrived. The location is steps from everything yet still very quiet. Visiting in February it was ideal to come in from the cold to such a cozy, inviting space! Trisha is a lovely host and we would absolutely recommend her home to anyone visiting Kinsale.

The house was perfect for our needs and our family: in the village but still quiet. The interior was very nice too and has got everything one needs.

My 2 daughters & myself all agreed that this was the best house we rented.Very nice furnishing & so close to all Kinsale has to offer.We all loved our stay .Hope to return next year.

We go frequently to Kinsale as we have relatives in the area, though prefer a degree of independence. The property is spotless, very well designed and equipped. It is in a perfect location for all amenities. Virginia was very welcoming and went the extra mile to ensure that we were comfortably installed We would definitely recommend a stay at this property.

So happy we found this lovely house in Kinsale. It was nicely furnished and very cozy. We certainly will be coming back to this house as we every year go back to Kinsale. We can recommend it to everyone! Thank you so much.

Thank you Trisha for your outstanding service and beautiful home right in the center of Kinsale. I rarely write reviews but I must let you know that you will not be disappointed with this property and outstanding customer service. I spent a week with a friend over St. Patrick's Day 2017. I have been to Kinsale 3 times and rented from others which were nice. I am so happy that we found this home and plan on coming back soon. The location is right in the heart of town and it still seems like a quaint private and quiet location. Yes Kinsale has Ireland's best food and the world's greatest people. Trisha is no exception. Everything felt like home and the service was outstanding. I left plenty of coal for the BBQ as well as kindling to start a beautiful fire at night. This was by far my best visit to Kinsale. I hope that you enjoy the best vacation ever in the heart of Kinsale. Slainte' Kevin F.

We were very pleased to spend a week in this spotless, comfortable house. It's short walk to excellent restaurants, good shops and historic buildings; a short drive to some of the most beautiful spots on Ireland's south coast. Highly recommended.

I chose this cottage because I was really impressed with the photos and the positive reviews, I have to say I was not disappointed! The house is Soooo fabulous, the interior is stunning and the patio area a real sun trap. We had our 16 month old daughter with us and it was great as we didn't need to bring a high chair or travel cot. The location is great too as it's so quick to get to the shops, cafe's and restaurants. We had a wonderful holiday and thoroughly recommend staying in this little gem.

We were searching for a small home in or near Kinsale. What a find! Lovely, refurbished 2 bedroom with one bath, in the heart of Kinsale. Beautifully decorated, with a professional designer's flair. Fresh flowers and plenty of fuel for the fire on arrival. Walk to everything, yet in a peaceful, quiet location. Master has a queen, 2nd bedroom has a queen and twin. (Livingroom couch is also a comfortable sleeping alternative.) Car park in the back, good wifi. Delightful owner. When you rent it, please take good care of the place, as we can't wait to return. Cheers!

We stayed in this 2-bed home at the start of August. A family with 3 young boys, we were able to have meals together in the back garden and the large open plan living/dining space as well as easily enjoy our very first visit to Kinsale. The kitchen, which is all modern like the rest of the house, has folding doors that open it up to the patio garden - perfect for summer visits but even when it rained were terrific to be able to open up the house. The pictures on the website are not an exaggeration, this is a cleanly designed and presented house with TV/sofa perfect for the end of a busy day and early morning kids' entertainment while preparing for our next day out. Bedrooms and bathroom have great furniture and natural light, all well presented when we arrived. The house is two minutes walk from a terrific local pub and shops and five minutes from the town centre and marina so evening walks were easy - and we were able to go out for forgotten pints of milk or just explore without hassle. We had a large 7-seater car too that we either parked just outside the front door or in the parking area at the rear of the property. Both were no problem so we could use the house as a base to explore the beaches south of Kinsale or head into Cork, Cobh and other local places. The house owner was also in contact with us by mobile phone with tips for where to go and where to eat out, and with answers to any questions. Very helpful. We very much recommend this rental if you want to be central for access to a great place like Kinsale or to venture to the rest of the south coast/West Cork area.

I rented this house for a weekend away with the girls. The house was so inviting and cosy that we didn't want to leave. The location is excellent and the house has all the facilities you could ask for in a rental property. I would highly recommend staying here as the unique and quirky characteristics of this cottage offer much more than a holiday home.

This is a very comfortble and relaxing house. The best appointed holiday rental I have ever stayed in. The decor is modern & quirky with something to catch your eye at every turn.The kichen is excellent with everything you could need, the living area is comfortable and the beds very snuggly. The house was clean & plenty of towels available. The little courtyard is a real suntrap. We were too tempted by the restaurants of Kinsale to have a BBQ but it was perfect for pre dinner drinks. The house is in the centre of town and only a step away from the many restaurants, pubs and shops Kinsale has to offer. Although in the middle of town it was remarkably peacful & relaxing. Kinsale is a very historic town and there are some lovely walks with beautiful views. The ghost tour is a must! No 8 highly recommended!!

We spent one week in Kinsale and could not have found a better place. The house is lovely, perfectly situated and offers all the amenities needed. The interior decoration is very well done. One can enjoy a nice apero in the patio or just unwind in the nice living area. Would surely comeback and can really recommend it.

We stayed in this perfect gem of a house, the last 2 weeks in July. It is in position A! Located in a quiet area with safe parking to the back, a short walk from all the shops, banks, supermarkets etc. Accommodation and facilities are super as described. All transactions with the owner were prompt and flawless. We look forward to staying in kinsale again and this is the only house we would consider renting. You will not be disappointed if you decide to rent this house.

well its been well over a week and we still miss Ireland. We really loved staying at your house in Kinsale, it felt like home away from home. It is very well outfitted and we wanted for nothing. The location couldnt be better for us.We had a really good time. We saw lots but also relaxed. We also saw some great sites especially Drombeg and Charlesfort. We ate great food and in general had great fun. thank you so much for sharing your home and we are already trying to think of the next time we could visit.
