Mark was a friendly and helpful host. Cara’s Cottage is in a perfect location for hikes into town and to visit the forts. Kinsale is a lovely town. We would definitely return.

Great location close to everything well represented. The owner lives on property. Very friendly with great suggestions.

Cara’s Cottage is a homely cottage with everything that you need plus an amazing view over the harbour.

My cousin and I were visiting Ireland from the states. We loved staying at Cara’s Cottage. Mark was a fantastic host. Directions to the cottage were perfect. We could walk to restaurants and shops in Kinsale and had a beautiful view of the harbor. Would stay there again.

This is a lovely cottage in a perfect spot a short walk from town. It was super clean and well appointed and was just as it appears in the pictures (actually better). Mark was a great host in every respect. Highly recommend.

The Cottage is lovely, perched overlooking the estuary: I could happily live there permanently. Kinsale is an attractive, lively town and a great centre for visiting Cork and the south coast. James' Fort and Charles' Fort are fascinating. The facilities and services in the building were excellent, while Mark was the perfect host - there and helpful when needed, discretely absent when not.

Very convenient to Kinsale centre (10 mins walk) down a not too steep road from The Spaniard pub. Semi detached cottage with most of the property isolated from its neighbour, Marian Cottage. So very quiet for a couple (5-star for us). Casa Cara has everything one could need for a holiday, including washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, cooker, micro, and lots more. We had an exceptional week (for Ireland) of splendid weather, so we really didn’t use the central heating much, but it was always available and there is also a wood burner to supplement heating (might be necessary in colder weather). Owner Mark is a real gentleman and on hand to help anytime he’s needed. The Spaniard is convenient for a drink but the restaurant offering might not be to everyone’s taste! However, there’s so much choice of hostelries and restaurants in the town that no one should be disappointed. Private parking at Casa Cara is a bonus in this location as spaces are few and far between. The Scilly Walk which starts near the cottage is useful for walkers and runners who might be a bit intimidated by kinsale’s hills, traffic and lack of pavements in many locations (I was!). Lovely private patio area rounded off our stay because on most days we were able to enjoy breakfast outside and even get some sun colour. Be careful with taxis. They are usually reliable if you book in advance but don’t be caught out away from home without a guaranteed booking. Recommended restaurant - Max’s, Bulman

We were met with warmth and scones by our host. The cottage is adorable, spacious and ultra-clean so it was a joy to stay there. We came and went through the week, like it was our little home away from home. Would love to stay there again! Definitely recommend Cara Cottage and Kinsale for a lovely taste of Ireland.

Really nice host. Had scones and jam waiting along with fresh flowers on the table. Loved the location. Can't think of a bad things to say. I could live there and be happy.
