Beautiful place

3/5 - Okay

Overrun with tourists during the day, and ghostly quiet at night - not at all a typical Irish town.

5/5 - Excellent

The walks along the ocean are gorgeous in particular the 'Scilly' walk from the Bullman pub (well worth a visit with excellent food) back into Kinsale.

4/5 - Good

Dinos was a nice Fish Cafe but Fishy FIshy was a class higher with Ben as a quality waiter who plays golf. Quaint harbour with some lovely small shops i was particularly liking the Bookshop. I had probably the biggest best Whippy Icecream at Centra.

5/5 - Excellent
