Went to Kinsale for the jazz festival and Sandycove is just outside of town. A very brisk but beautiful walk into town takes around 45 mins, or a 10 minute car ride. I recommend the stroll down to Sandycove beach where we spotted seals and walked along the coast.
The house was beautiful with views of the ocean, and a very friendly old dog who came to visit every day! Really recommend Barbara’s place if you want to experience Kinsale but also want a more rural vibe.
