Your Bed & Breakfast

Kinsale Town

Sample B&B Kinsale is a popular B&B accommodation in Kinsale just a short walk to Restaurants, Pubs, Galleries, Cafes and  the Tourist Office . Kinsale Museum which is 100 metres from the Gallery dates back to 1600 & houses an array of interesting artifacts including being the venue for the subsequent enquiry into the sinking of the Lusitania. The 17th Century James Fort which is outside Kinsale is well worth visiting & is a particularly attractive walking area & has spectacular views of both the inner & outer harbour. A visit to the 17th Century Charles Fort is a priority. Take the wonderfully Scenic “Scilly Walk” which passes through the little village of Summercove & leads you straight to the Fort .Both the 15th Century Desmond Castle & the International Wine Museum are located just 200 metres from the Gallery bed & breakfast & are an essential visit to understand Kinsale
