The Driftwood Cottage boasts an inviting garden, beautiful views of the harbor and a clean, tastefully decorated interior flooded with natural light. It had all of the amenities we needed, great hosts and was located just a short distance from the downtown. Highly recommend!

We loved this location. It was exactly as advertised. Beautiful decor, outstanding views overlooking the Kinsale Harbor. Just minutes from the downtown as well as from one of our favorite restaurants, The Spaniard. We also came across a fabulous restaurant, Max’s in downtown, where we celebrated our anniversary. The hosts of Waterfront Coastal Chic, Sara and Ian are incredibly thorough and thoughtful. Their hospitality and informational skills were very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a lovely retreat in one of Ireland’s great towns, this is it!
