The Marian Cottage is a gem of a place for a stay in Kinsale. Mark our host was welcoming and helpful as could be. The cottage has everything you would need for a comfortable holiday. The location is quite convenient and nearby to wonderful restaurants. We would come again!

We absolutely loved this lovely cottage. Close to town, a lovely pub, and terrific hikes. Better than described and we are already planning a future stay. Thanks Mark, for being a great host.

Marian's cottage was a fantastic place from which to base our week long explorations of Kinsale and the greater Cork county. The host, Mark, met us as we arrived and was friendly and responsive to any requests throughout our stay. They small courtyard was a perfect place to unwind with an evening beverage surrounded by a small garden. We easily walk to Charles Fort and to the town for exploration, shopping, and dining. There was ample private parking at the cottage. The kitchen was well appointed with all the necessary tools and equipment, which we used extensively. The dining table in the kitchen provided a cozy place for our meals. In the living area, there was a wood stove available, which we did not use, but was supplied with everything needed for a cozy fire. The living area provided a place to stretch out and relax. The bathroom was quite large with a soaking tub and plenty of countertop space for toiletries (somewhat rare in Ireland, I think). The water pressure was amazing, making showers a joy. There was both a rainfall showerhead and a separate wand that could envelope you in quite a luxurious spray. Truly, I wish I could get that kind of water pressure at our home in the States. We also took advantage of the washer and dryer while we were there. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage for a self-catering stay. It was perfect for the two of us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kinsale and at this lovely property. It was so perfect for us in every way. Spotless, well appointed and so very comfortable. There were several nice amenities in place when we arrived that were super helpful, such as milk for our coffee and plenty of firewood. Mark is an excellent host, Thank you for a beautiful stay!
