Further details for this holiday cottage rental in County Cork, Ireland

Kinsale:: Winner of European prize for Tourism and the Environment, Entente Florale, National Tidy Town, Gourmet Capital - one of Ireland's oldest towns, with narrow streets and many historic buildings to explore; all sheltered by a beautiful harbour. Museums, historic forts, art galleries, craft shops, not to mention the 40+ bars and restaurants that give Kinsale its reputation for good food and that Irish only phenomenon called 'craic'. Oh, and the Guinness is good too!

For the active: Choose from 3 golf courses including the spectacular and world renowned Links at The Old Head of Kinsale, deep-sea fishing, sailing or perhaps a harbour cruise. Maybe spend a day at one of the many 'empty' beaches nearby or perhaps visit the Norman built 12th century church of St Multose and 15th century Desmond Castle which houses the International Musem of Wine, or the twin 17th century forts guarding the entrance to the harbour to learn about our town that is one of the oldest in Ireland. Whatever is for you, you will find it here in Kinsale.

Getting here: Is easy with direct flights to Cork from most UK and many European airports. Coming from America? Cork is only a 40 minute flight from Dublin International airport, and about 2 hours car journey to Shannon Airport. If you're arriving by car Cork Ferryport, serving Roscoff in France, is only 14 miles away. And finally, as all our properties are in the walled grounds of Scilly House we are on hand if you need us. Just ask! FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND PHOTOS please contact us for our website address.

Sam`s Studio & Cara`s Cottage

Dan & Karen Maidstone Kent England
Review Submitted: June 19, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
We have stayed in Sam`s studio twice now, and intend to make a third visit next year. The accommodation is very clean and modern and the setting in the grounds of Scilly house is fantastic. The view from the sitting area across the harbour is so beautiful whether the sun is shining or not. Waking up in the morning looking out to the best view in the world is a pleasure that everyone should experience. The journey from Cork Airport is a doddle at only 20 mins (by hire car). Kinsale itself is a lovely little town with fine shops and restaurants, but it has been changing over the past few years for the worse. The village of Scilly, which is were the Studio is located has several restaurants and bars which are all highly recommended and all within an easy stagger home after a few pints of Guinness. The local pub "The Spaniard" extends a warm welcome with cosy open fire places and regular live music. We spent a few hours in there one lunch time after being caught out in a rain shower, we were in a group of six adults but no one cared that all of our coats and boots were in front of the fire. The attached Restaurant is one NOT to be ignored, the food is of some of the finest that I have tasted in Ireland.
We also rented Cara`s Cottage for another couple in our group. The cottage was very clean with all the facilities that you would need for a comfortable break away. The owner (Mark) has made sure that which ever of his four properties you rent, you will not be disappointed. We have stayed in January and March and although you can`t be sure of the best weather in the world you will most certainly receive one of the best welcomes. Make sure that you take every opportunity to get out and walk, it`s well worth the effort. We will be going back next year and taking more friends with us, just so that they can experience how beautiful it is.

Sciliy Kinsale County Cork

Plastic Paddy Hertfordshire
Review Submitted: June 19, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
4 of us stayed in the Chart House accommodation but did also see the rest of the properties and every one of them are done to a very high standard. Everything you need for a wonderful stay are in the properties, be it a couple for a weekend or a family for a holiday. The views are wonderful.
The property was very clean and well equipped. I would definitely highly recommend these cottages and the owners are very friendly and extremely helpful. I am planning on going back with a large number of my family because we had such a great stay.

Cara's Cottage - February 2008

Review Submitted: March 6, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
I stayed at Cara's cottage with my husband and 2 children (10 months and almost 3) in February. The cottage is beautifully fitted out (much better than the average holiday rental) and is ideal for small children being all on one level. The cottage is very spacious and has 2 well fitted bathrooms. It has all mod cons - a microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, dvd player etc. I particularly liked the fact that the cottage was equipped with things like washing up liquid, washing powder, hand soap etc as these things are often not included in a rented property. The kids particularly enjoyed the large basket of toys which had been put in the cottage for them (Mickey was lucky not to be taken hostage). The views are not as good as at the Chart House - but given the access to Scilly House gardens and the fact that you are in such close proximity to the sea this was not a problem. Even the weather was exceptional for the time of year! I would not hesitate to recommend this to a friend.
