Nella's cottage in Kinasale is perfectly located for the harbour and main parts of the town. Having off-street parking right outside (parking can be tricky in Kinsale in the summer it seems) is a real bonus. There are lots of pubs, restaurants and food shops within easy walking distance. The cottage has everyhting you need for a holiday stay in this charming seaside village.
It was super-nice to have Nella stay with us in London, the place was immaculate when we got back and she was so kind to leave us a nice gift for our return, which in no-way influenced this revew :) Such a positive first house swap experience for us and we have immediately organised another one!
I had a truly wonderful stay at Eileen's place for a few weeks. The house is quite spacious and very comfortable and Eileen was in touch if I had any queries. Highly recommend and I would stay again without hesitation. She made me feel like it was my home when I was there and it was immaculately clean. An uber to central London was around 25 pounds and plenty of buses and trains a walk away. Very happy with the stay!
Wonderful guests and a very positive exchange! They are a very nice relaxed couple with two lovely boys. I would highly recommend them to anyone, thank you Heather and Paul for a great first home swap experience!
I would change nothing! Everything was spotless and it was a truly wonderful stay.
