Cottage holiday rentals in Kinsale

A fantastic place to stay in a really great part of west cork. The house is perfectly situated with a couple of minutes walk down to the beach for swims on a private path. It’s quiet and secure and has its own sauna with a great view. Highly recommend!!

Had a lovely few days away staying in Kate's accommodation. She was very helpful and great to deal with. The accommodation was perfect for a quiet getaway and met all of our needs, would recommend to a friend.

Stunning location, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna is a real treat! Local recommendations all brilliant. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a lovely staying at graces house. Very peaceful and quiet house. Great location alot of things to do in the local area and beyond. House had everything we could need and more. House was very spacious and great for just the 2 of us. The local produce such as milk, ice cream &scones etc was such a nice touch and of course were delicious. Nice to have access to a hot tub whenever we wanted and hot tub was fired up and waiting for our arrival as well as logs to top up if needed.

Had a wonderful time staying here. Absolutely gorgeous place. Really quiet and peaceful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Magical Stay for a Very Special Birthday We had the most unforgettable stay at this beautiful cottage in Ireland to celebrate my mum’s 70th birthday, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The cottage itself is charming, spotless, and incredibly well-equipped — the perfect blend of cozy and luxurious. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with breathtaking countryside views that added to the sense of escape and relaxation we were hoping for. The hot tub was a real highlight — soaking under the stars with a glass of wine after a day of exploring was magical. My mum was thrilled, and it truly made her birthday feel special and indulgent. Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay feel personal and welcoming. Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, a welcome basket, and helpful local tips made all the difference. They even helped us arrange a few special surprises for my mum, which we’re incredibly grateful for. We couldn’t have asked for a more per

Greatly cherished our time at the cottage and very much look forward to returning if the opportunity arises!

This is our 2nd visit to Trag and it will not be our last. The cottage is equipped with everything you need if you would like to lock yourself away. A lovely kitchen to cook while enjoying the view then a soak in the hot tub again with the amazing view. Skiberreen and Baltimore are a short drive away with some amazing restaurants even Michelin star. Sarah however is a great host easily contactable and there to give recommendations.

This was the cottage experience we were hoping for in Ireland! We loved the character of the cottage with so much thought put into every detail and texture. The art and decor were very tasteful and the amenities were good and practical. We especially loved making a fire each night even though we aren't terribly experienced at it! And the views from all the windows of the peaceful vegetation were so calming. And the private sitting areas in the yard were delightful - one with an ocean view! Their dog was sweet and friendly, too. The instructions for using the hot water were clear, but somehow we mixed them up so struggled a little with the shower but got it straight eventually! Aisling and Donagh were delightful hosts. A short drive away, Baltimore is a true gem of a town with breathtaking scenery and a rich cultural scene, and it even has a michelin star restaurant if that's your speed. Plus the fun algiers pub! We hope to come back again soon

we had a lovely stay and Katarina was so welcoming and friendly. We would love to come back again soon.

Eileen's house provided a truly comfortable and welcoming base to explore the amazing Beara Peninsula. The property was just as described and depicted -- including the amenities and gorgeous views that match the photos but have to be seen to be appreciated. The house itself is spotless, has a great walk-in shower and modern appliances including a washer and dryer. Eileen herself is part of the house's charm -- she went out of her way to walk us through it and then took more time to introduce us to all the many natural highlights of the peninsula, from hiking trails to a ferry ride to drives that reveal one grand vista after another. And it's all far less crowded than other Wild Atlantic Way destinations we've been to. Eileen responded quickly to questions and was a cheerful delight. She knows the area inside out and is glad to share tips with guests. It's simply a great location to visit and this is a wonderful place to stay.

Rose cottage is designed really well, combines an architectural sympathy with the surrounding landscape whilst the simplicity of the uncluttered interior make for very comfortable living.

Fabulous location and the cottage so cosy. Helen was a wonderful host.

What a wonderful stay on the edge of a gorgeous working farm! We arrived to scones, jam and butter set out on the kitchen table. The house is large compared to every other Irish stay we enjoyed. Six people could definitely stay here with ease. There's a full kitchen and two baths. Moreover, there's Jenny the Donkey out front and Polly Puxley the cat at the backdoor. Please bring carrots for Jenny and treats for the relentless but fabulous Polly. We fed them with the permission of our lovely host Mairead, who came by to meet us and who was very welcoming. Don't miss a long walk along the farm where you can greet sheep and another donkey. The surrounding area is breathtaking!

I have stayed in this cottage quite a few times over the years - and I always enjoy it immensely. The cottage is lovely, decorated in a style that suits its age, and set in the most stunning scenery. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere - it is so quiet the deer come right up to the patch of grass in front of the house in the evenings and there are so many different birds it's almost like an orchestra - but you're definitely not: There are two good restaurants in the area, a nice pub near a harbour, a lunchroom in gorgeous gardens and a very well stocked shop-and-tearoom only a 20 minute drive away. So yes, I will come again!

we enjoyed Colette’s place to the fullest and were sad we only booked it for one night - the location is stunning, amazing views all around with ponies and cows next door :) spacious apartment with more than everything you could need, made for a perfect holiday :) she even thought about the kids and had some toys ready to play with! All that with super easy and nice combination made it a great experience - Thanks Colette!

Had a most enjoyable stay at Caitlin’s place. We managed to visit Mizen Head and Kinsale to end our challenge of completing The Wild Atlantic Way. The property is thoughtfully prepared, clean and tidy and more than fit for purpose. I would most definitely recommend Caitlin’s property.

We loved our stay at Paddy and Riona’s place! Very cute and cozy loft with a lovely backyard area! The apartment was well equipped for cooking - had all the bits you could need. Had the best time, thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay , beautiful and peaceful. Perfect location for touring. Very clean comfortable house . Will highly recommend this property . Thank you Rita for our lovely stay.

Amazing location. Perfect for a night's stay in the Gap.

Absolute 5* in every respect. Breeda was super friendly and helpful both before and during the visit. The cottage is delightful and the perfect base for exploring this beautiful area. We hope to return sometime soon!!

As the pictures tell, this is a charming cottage in the country. Loved to visit with the cows behind us! We all agreed it felt like our grandmothers home, comfortable and welcoming. Not too far away from civilization Irish style. The sun room on a blustery rainy day was awesome. We were very happy and felt very safe! Emily was lovely! Very thankful we chose this cottage.

Bells Cottage is a magical place right out of a fairytale! Not only is the cottage beautiful, but every detail of the space is thoughtfully and lovingly arranged. There were vases of beautiful wildflowers on the tables when we arrived - we immediately felt like we were at home. The location is also a perfect, peaceful place for exploring the area. Walking the Caragh View Loop trail is an absolute must. The trailhead is a few minutes drive from the cottage and the views are spectacular. This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you!

The cottage felt like a hug-warm and loving. The bed is extremely comfortable and there is an electric mattress pad in case you get cold. The bathroom has a modern shower, very large and soft towels with a comfort height toilet. Catherine made a delicious apple pie and some brown bread. The fridge was stocked with staples and the cottage had everything you could ever need. The gardens and outdoor seating areas are amazing. Loved listening to the birds while watching the sun rise and set. Catherine gave us lots of ideas and recommendations on what to do in the area. She is a delight and truly makes the stay here even more special. Highly recommend this place. It’s a 12 on a scale 1-10! We will definitely be back.
