This is the kind of place you almost don't want to leave a review for as you want it to not be booked solid for the next five years! But that would be a serious disservice to Rose, so here goes: this place is wonderful and so are hosts Rose and Curly Murphy (he's the short 4-legged one). I wish there was an "exceptional" category as it goes well beyond checking the boxes of a normal five star rating. Rose has really thought about what guests might need or want and it is all to hand. Toiletries? Yummy food? Comfy bed? Hairdryer? Seriously, every time I thought, "Hey, I could use a...", there it was! The studio is just as in the photos, cheerful, happy colors and prints of Kinsale that I either have or wish I had. On the practical side, Rose provides a sinful selection for breakfast and snacks, the location is super quiet yet easy to walk to town even at night, on site parking is easy/safe, and check in/out was a breeze. Rose is one of those naturally good hosts who also work very hard to make everything perfect and a traveller who knows what travellers want. After many trips to Kinsale, it's nice to know I've got a place I'll happily come back to. If she's got an opening for your dates, grab it. But leave a few nights free for me, ok? ;-)
