Richard and Martina's B&B was easily the best place we stayed while in Ireland. Theirs is such a lovely and welcoming home with amazing views of Kinsale and the river Bandon. The rooms are large, recently updated, immaculately clean, and feel very private (the pictures look exactly as the rooms do in person). Proximity to Kinsale is great too--close enough to access downtown in a few minutes, but far enough away to get a quiet night's sleep. We liked it so much that we wanted to stay a second night, but unfortunately we were unable to cancel existing reservations.

To top it off, there is also a cozy little pub just down the hill from the B&B with a lively atmosphere, friendly folks, and what looks to be tasty food. We were fortunate enough to visit on a Saturday night when a local band was playing, making for a very lively time.

Finally, Richard and Martina could not have been better, more friendly and generous hosts. They are accommodating but also allow their guests space. This being our first experience with Airbnb, they have set the bar impossibly high for all future stays through the site. We hope their B&B prospers because we dream of returning and staying longer. Do not delay, book your stay now!
