Dolores the host was amazing. Through out the whole booking process, which was unsurprisingly interrupted by COVID-19 , Dolores was always quick to reply to our queries and promptly solved all resulting issues and difficulties.
Upon arrival Dolores was the perfect host greeting us with delicious home baking. Throughout the rest of the stay Dolores was always more than generous with her time, sharing with us her extensive local knowledge and experience. Also Dolores was super quick to respond to our random requests for cooking foil and a hand blender.
Ballincurrig House itself is large and comfortable and located at the end of a private lane. It’s focal point is a spacious kitchen resplendent with a long dining table that thankfully helped restore the art of family mealtime conversation .
The garden is extensive with more than enough space to fly the frisbee as well as host games of short tennis and football.
The location of the house is special with the beach of Broadstrand a minute walk from the front door. The Broadstrand is beautiful and perfect for kite flying, walking as well as wild sea swimming.
The ever changing vista from the house, as well as from the beautiful Broadstrand , is a mesmerising and absorbing sweep across Courtmachsherry Bay to the Old Head of Kinsale.
Also, if you are very lucky ‘Carrie Bradshaw‘ could make a fleeting cameo appearance.
