Casino Cottage is everything it's described to be and, for us, more... and Kate is the consummate host. The place is architecturally and functionally outstanding -- it's a lovely restored stone cottage that feels special and isolated -- just off a not heavily traveled country road. It's very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen has everything needed to cook-- including an espresso machine! There's a working fireplace. There's private parking right next to the cottage. Kate was very responsive and gave us good advice on things to do and helped with dinner reservations at a great restaurant in Kinsale, a short 15-minute drive away. We'd go back to this part of Ireland and stay at Casino Cottage in a heartbeat.
