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 Museum 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 3 hours car journey from Dublin and 2 hours from Shannon Airport.
If you're arriving by car Cork Ferryport, serving Roscoff in France, is only 14 miles away.

Marian's cottage was a fantastic place from which to base our week long explorations of Kinsale and the greater Cork county. The host, Mark, met us as we arrived and was friendly and responsive to any requests throughout our stay. They small courtyard was a perfect place to unwind with an evening beverage surrounded by a small garden. We easily walk to Charles Fort and to the town for exploration, shopping, and dining. There was ample private parking at the cottage. The kitchen was well appointed with all the necessary tools and equipment, which we used extensively. The dining table in the kitchen provided a cozy place for our meals. In the living area, there was a wood stove available, which we did not use, but was supplied with everything needed for a cozy fire. The living area provided a place to stretch out and relax. The bathroom was quite large with a soaking tub and plenty of countertop space for toiletries (somewhat rare in Ireland, I think). The water pressure was amazing, making showers a joy. There was both a rainfall showerhead and a separate wand that could envelope you in quite a luxurious spray. Truly, I wish I could get that kind of water pressure at our home in the States. We also took advantage of the washer and dryer while we were there. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage for a self-catering stay. It was perfect for the two of us.

A perfect stay in Kinsale. My wife and I have rented well over a 100 VRBOs across Europe. The Mariam Cottage is in our top 3 -- comfortable and spacious. So very convenient to downtown-- easy 5 minute walk down the hill. The Spaniard Bar is just across the road and the Mad Friday restaurant (great food) is 50 yards away. We highly -- I mean -- highly recommend the Mariam Cottage.Todd

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kinsale and at this lovely property. It was so perfect for us in every way. Spotless, well appointed and so very comfortable. There were several nice amenities in place when we arrived that were super helpful, such as milk for our coffee and plenty of firewood. Mark is an excellent host, Thank you for a beautiful stay!
