Surprise in Kinsale

This unit is situated above the waterfront of Kinsale. We spent a week in this little town and had poor weather, yet we’re 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 it’s 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.
