City Center is the perfect place to stay in Kinsale. It is convenient to everything. Phils house is located steps from the water, bars and restaurants. If you like walking it ia an easy stroll around the town to learn of the historic importance of the village. Phil's house is very quaint and we really felt like we were experiencing the lifestyle of the town. If you are traveling by train I have a quick suggestion. The train takes you to Cork where you can travel to Kinsale by bus or taxi. I recommend taking the bus. it stops right outside the Cork Kent train station. The cost for three was cheaper than a taxi and the bus is a very comfortable ride with a great view of the landscape. The bus stop in Kinsale is a stones throw from the apartment and stops right behind the Travel bureau. If you ask for directions there they can point a finger right at the house. Kinsale in known for it's great restaurants. There is an abundance of eateries that we would rate highly. Hope to return and will book Phil's home again.
