Gillian's place is nestled on a hill above and across the river from Kinsale. The house and attached unit are surrounded by a beautiful garden. There is a cafe table and chairs just outside the guest unit for enjoying the garden on nice days. Don't be fooled by the name 'An Old Cow Stall' (it was once) - the apartment is a very contemporary design, playing off the old stone wall with white walls and mood lighting.
Gillian was right there to help. To start, she welcomed us with homemade brownies! A Kinsale native, Gillian shared bits of what the area used to be like as a fishing community. She loves her ancestral home.
Great pub (The Dock) just over the hill toward Fort James, great view of Kinsale across the harbor.
If you like a country setting, but near to town, you will love Gillian's home.
