About this property

Marian Cottage. Fully restored 19c cottage. Sleeps 3. Parking. Kinsale

Marian Cottage is in the grounds to the Chart House in Scilly Village. Ideal for those who want to enjoy the extensive leisure facilities available locally or the many friendly pubs and restaurants that have led to Kinsale being called the Goumet Capital of Ireland. Marian Cottage is a 7 minutes' walk from Kinsale town centre where you will find many interesting shops, art galleries and museums. The properties have off-street parking and free WiFi.

Marian Cottage sleeps 2+1 on sofa bed. Studio layout. Large bathroom with claw foot bath and separate power shower. Patio garden suntrap.

Marian Cottage is next door to Cara's Cottage (sleeps 4) so they can be rented together for larger parties. Please note to book Cara's Cottage you will need to navigate to its own listing on HomeAway.

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 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.

And finally, as our properties are in the grounds to our house we are on hand if you need us. Just ask!

Quiet Lovely cottage
Host was easy to contact. The cottage was clean, quaint, and had everything you will need for a lovely stay, Mark was very friendly and made sure everything we needed was taken care off. His attention to detail in the cottage and few little extra details added to how homey and comfortable we felt. Perfect spot to be able to walk to the town and a few of the historic sites nearby.

Quintessential Irish Cottage
What a lovely cottage! Everything was perfect - from the welcome scones, butter, jam and fresh flowers from the host to the quaint cottage furnishings with modern conveniences; this cottage has it all. Perfect for a couple. Thank you, Mark, for making our trip to Ireland so memorable!

Perfection
We were greeted with scones, butter, jelly and flowers on the kitchen table. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for our 4 week stay. The garden was lovely for reading or a meal. I was able to easily work remotely part of the time as the wi/fi connection was great. The pictures do not do it justice. Mark was the perfect host. Always there when you needed him, otherwise we had the place to ourselves. The location is perfect- quiet, yet very convenient to the village with all of the great restaurants and shops, and to the wonderful pub - The Spaniard - only 92 steps away. I can’t say enough good things about the cottage and our stay. Perfection.

Lovely cottage in quieter area
Beautiful little cottage set just above town. Pub and restaurants a quick walk away, and many options just a short, safe, and pleasant walk to town. Walk up or down a couple of streets from the cottage and you are on the high road (cars and beautiful views) or low road (foot path and a beautiful stroll) to Summercove and Fort Charles. We never needed our car once we arrived, as we asked everywhere. The cottage is comfortable and is well equipped with amenities and thoughtful touches. On the downside, there is basic tv but with limited channel selections, if that is important to you, and the internet is slow (pages took awhile to load, etc) and my husband did have some frustration getting his email, news briefs, etc, (but I found it adequate for planning our daily activities, etc). The WiFi in the pub just across the street (The Spaniard) was much faster, so husband found it convenient in the late mornings and evenings to sit in their bar with an espresso or pint and use his iPad there. Just know that it is sluggish in the cottage itself. Overall, however, we would return in a heartbeat, and actually hope to do so soon! Mark was a great host, never hovering but always within text range. This will be our destination for return visits!

Very luxurious accommodation
This may be a studio cottage but the accommodation is very spacious and well furnished; we felt the living accommodation was as good as a one bedroomed cottage. The hosts have clearly paid great attention to detail. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils and the bathroom fitted to a very high standard. We highly recommend a stay at Marian Cottage any time of the year.

A Fantastic Accomodation!
We spent six nights here in Kinsale. My wife and I prefer to walk locally when traveling, so any destination in town was an easy and enjoyable walk. Several quality restaurants were an easy stroll, the the we enjoyed the neighborhood pub (The Spaniard) in the evenings. The cottage is roomy and comfortable, with an excellent kitchen. In the cool evenings we enjoyed relaxing near the wood burning stove, and in the warm afternoons the same is true of the garden patio. A great stay!
