They are filled with interesting little shops, cafes, galleries, bars and restaurants. Life is relaxed in Kinsale with its other major attraction being the sea and marina as well as the Old Head Golf Club and the very interesting Charles Fort. There are coves and beaches within a few minutes drive and deep sea fishing is also very popular. It is a colourful cosmopolitan spot. It is just 15 miles from Cork City and is the gateway to West Cork for day trips along the coast to Glandore, Clonakilty, Killarney, Kenmare before returning to one of the super restaurants in Kinsale for dinner.

The apartment facilities

Shearwater is a brand NEW luxury development on an unprecedented site right on the waterfront located between Kinsale Yacht Club and Acton's Hotel. Shearwater is the place to be, top of the range of accommodation available, overlooking the marina and myriad of yachts and yachtie lifestyle. There is an airiness, lightness and brightness feel. It is impossible to capture on camera the height of the main room ceiling with its airy velux windows but It is delightful. On the ground floor of Shearwater is a brand new Cafe Wine Bar so if you don't want even to cook breakfast on your holiday you can pop down to Vista for your croissants and cappuccino, otherwise take them up and relax with your newspaper in the little Breton Boys casual dining section of the kitchen. There is also a formal dining area with a beautiful solid walnut dining table seating 6/8 people for that more formal dinner. There is also FREE BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS for your laptop.

Kinsale

Kinsale is awash with fab restaurants from Fishy Fishy, to Max's Wine Bar, Toddie's, The Blue Haven, The Bistro with Jean-Marc's great Franco Chinese food, you will never be hungry. and all 2 to 5 minutes stroll. If you don't want to cook there is a great Deli with dishes ready to take home prepared by French Chef Guillaume - his fruity pork curry is really good. There are lots of art galleries, including one on the ground level of Shearwater and always just so much to do in between sips of wine!

Apartment Info

Our duplex apartment is one of very few in the development to have its own steps up to its own hall door from the large communal patio deck area and is also one of the biggest available. There is a small deck area outside the hall door to sit and take in the sun or sit and sip! With its very high Cathedral ceiling in the main living room the atmosphere and feel is airy spacious lightness and brightness not seen in normal apartment and difficult to capture on camera. Access from the car park is by swipe card and elevator to the first deck where entrance to duplex is.

Other Activities Gourmet Restaurants all year round plus Kinsale Arts Festival in July and Gourmet Festival in October. Sailing Courses for children in Kinsale Y.C.
