We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Fiona's place, right in the heart of Kinsale. It was charming being on the Stony Steps, which was right in the middle of town. We didn't have much trouble with noise, except for during the early evening when the teenagers where heading out to the clubs. They would just be talking and laughing as they headed up or down the Steps, but did not linger. The rooms were delightful, clean and bright. The beds were very comfortable, and I could see the harbor from the master bed! The kitchen was fully furnished and we greatly appreciated the eggs, butter and such for our breakfast. Comfortable living room, with lots of books and CDs/DVDs to choose from.
