Cottage rentals in Kinsale

Quirky cottage with sea views
Katarina is an amazing host. Her attention to detail is unmatched. The little house is even more gorgeous in person than in the photos. Super clean and left us wanting for nothing. The views are insane with lots of privacy but not too far from Goleen village, Crookhaven or Schull for adventures. Albert is a sweetheart and super friendly. we had a great time and so did our 9 month old puppy Molly. Thank you for having us!

Holly lodge
We had a wonderful stay at this conveniently located accommodation, close to the national park and downtown. The host was very welcoming, available and full of good tips for discovering the region. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Killarney is a charming town surrounded by beautiful scenery. We would recommend it without hesitation.

Cosy, country cottage in great location in Cork.
The cottage was the ideal place to spend a few nights and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The cottage was comfortable and had everything you need. Lots of information about local attractions. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Skelligs Coast, Ring of Kerry Cottage
Beautiful location with great views and town close by. Really helpful hosts who gave loads of great recommendations

Pulleen Cottage
Mairéad's place is a fantastic, pet friendly, base for exploring the beautiful Beara Peninsula. We were lucky enough to have glorious weather for our stay so we enjoyed lots of coastal walks at the nearby Dunboy Castle, took the cable car to Dursey Island & a leisurely drive along the Ring of Beara. Mairéad has thought of everything to make your stay perfect, from farm fresh eggs, homemade treats to doggie poop bags! She was also very kind & understanding when we had to reschedule our original planned stay due to an unexpected family illness. Thanks so much for a great stay Mairéad, oh & our doggo loved the donkeys too!

Droumkeal Cottage Ballylickey Bantry Co Cork
We had a wonderful time at Emily's cottage. Everything was perfect and very cozy and clean. It was very easy to find and the instructions were very clear. We recommend it!

Tinnock Cottage
Anne’s airbnb is excellent! We loved being away in the quiet countryside whilst still close enough to town to easily enjoy what it offers. The place itself is clean and tidy with a fridge stocked with the milk, eggs, butter, etc. Much appreciated and very thoughtful gestures were the children’s books and toys provided, as well as the gender specific bedding Anne added to the beds for my children.

The Cottage at Lakefield
Paul and Katrin were the most lovely hosts. We had stayed here before and the second time - like the first time - fell nothing short of what you could hope for in any Airbnb. The cottage was extremely clean and felt like home right away. We used the Kayaks on the lake during sunset and opted for the sauna on a rainy evening. From Lakefield, all of Kerry was within driveable distance so we could really make the most of our stay. We can’t stress enough how comfortable and welcome Paul and Katrin made us feel during the entire stay and we can’t wait to be back another time.

Large house close to town
Maureen is a wonderful host. We had a late check-in, she waited for us, told us how and what to use in the house, recommended places to visit, bought us food, which was very nice of her. The house is located on a tranquil street, but at the same time, there is a shop nearby and only about 30 minutes to the city center. All photos correspond to reality. The house has everything necessary for a comfortable stay, and we felt at home. Many thanks, Maureen, we had a lovely stay and will be happy to return to your home again!

Killester, Weavers Point, Crosshaven, Cork
Wow, this place is amazing. It felt like staying at a family members house. Well stocked with everything, from linen's to kitchen appliances, to hair dryer, it has everything you could ever need. It was a short, beautiful walk down to the Cross Haven village that had amazing pubs and restaurants. Special thanks to the neighbors that helped the uber find us when my phone stopped working (my fault for not getting internationally calling! ) Truly a wonderful and peaceful home for a perfect seaside vacation.

Entire House in the very centre of Killarney.
Spacious, comfortable place, right in the heart of Killarney. Easy access with a key box, and a very proactive and helpful host. We were very satisfied. Only tiny things might be lacking, such as hooks in the bathroom for your towels. A great place, I recommend it to everyone.

Kenmare Town Hse, spacious family home
My partner, 6 mo daughter and I stayed at Bernadette’s townhouse for three nights while in Kenmare as part of a larger road trip. We felt comfortable, safe and extremely taken care of. The home is nestled in a quiet residential area not far from the town center. It was exactly what we were looking for; far enough away from any busyness but an easy walk or drive into town. The beds were all comfortable; the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed; the living space was nice and comfy. It was great to have so much space, especially with a baby. Bernadette was very responsive to our questions and helpful with recommendations; she even left some nice touches like fresh flowers and fruit! I would definitely recommend this Airbnb!!

Gearha, Beaufort, Killarney
A beautiful cottage, so spacious. Lovely views and secluded spot. Bedrooms were large as were the lounge and dining area. It was everything we needed for our group stay. Would like to think we will return in the future Only pity was that we didn’t get to meet Dan at all.

Luxury Charming House, Sleeps 10
Great family stay - host was very responsive and accommodating for kids staying. Had all the facilities needed. The house is very close to the town and yet private. Would highly recommend

Old Presbytery Willow Apartment
The Old Presbytery was a delight! Noreen, who lives in the apartment collection, was there to meet us when we arrived and was highly attentive to all our needs and questions. The apartment itself was clean, well equipped, and well organized. The location couldn't have been more perfect: literally a stone’s throw from the cafés and shopping of delightful central Kinsale. We will definitely return to it if we come back to Kinsale.

Mary's Bespoke Cottage
This was the most idyllic cottage we could have imagined for our New Years stay. David recommended the best local pub for us to enjoy a traditional Irish new years and it made our trip so great. He was so friendly and welcoming and let us pet the horses. He had lots of history and insight to offer and this place is perfect for any country Irish holiday dreams!

Inch View Cabin, 5-minutes drive to Inch Beach
Pat and Nora were very friendly just a phone call away very helpful we were very copmfortable.We stayed last year and loved it so much we were on a return visit which we intend to do again doesnt that say a lot.All the best for now . Fond regards Margaret.

ROCK COTTAGE, Wild Atlantic Way, Schull,West Cork
What can I say, we had the most magical stay at the Rock Cottage. The entire grounds from the cottage, to the many walkable garden trails, the lovely golden retrievers Saffron & Elsa were great company for our dog buddy, the ponies, chickens and donkey! The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen is pristine and the cottage is so comfortable & cosy. We enjoyed our stay so much it was a great base for exploring the Mizen peninsula. Jacqueline & Jonathan were fantastic hosts though out our stay, 5* stay!!

Mountain View Glenthanies Anascaul V92 P7F7
This is my 2nd stay in debbies house, shes a wonderful host, and very flexible. Debbie is very friendly, she was really easy to get in touch with before the stay. I would recommend anyone to stay in her home, as her house really feels like a home away from home. Her house is beautiful, clean and has everything you need in it. The scenery around her house is also beautiful. Nice size garden suitable for pets. It is only 20 minutes drive to Dingle which is also very convenient. It was a perfect stay and I would highly recommend others to stay in her house. We were a family of 6, 3 couples and 3 dogs everyone in our group really enjoyed the stay.

Cosy coastal eco-cabin with stunning ocean views
The creativity cabin is a wonderful home away from home. There is gorgeous mountain and sea views and plenty of opportunities to see the nearby wildlife. Anne is an outgoing and friendly host who is also very respectful of guests privacy. The cats are also wonderful :)

"Lazy Acre" - Waterfront - Wild Atlantic Way
Second time staying at the Lazy Acre! Always a great time staying in this lovely home. Great location (ten-minute walk from the town centre or Celtic Ross), close to the beach (Warren Beach), peaceful and very clean. The house can fit a group of seven people for a weekend. Booked the Lazy Acre again for the Rosscarbery Surf Turf and Tar. Anne and Gerry are lovely hosts, as always. Very responsive, respectful and very helpful with recommendations. Can’t wait to book it again for next year.

Cheerful 2-bedroom cottage with indoor fireplace
Excellent outdoor space which was enjoyed as weather was fab, house had everything we needed would live to return again
