When you approach the Blue Horizon, there is a lovely beach on one side of the road and a cow pasture across it on a hillside. This was our first BnB stay in Ireland (after a hotel in Dublin) and we chose the Blue Horizon to be near Cork and experience the charm of Kinsale. The views are beautiful and... More

Jim, Mary and Geraldine run this fabulous B&B and Bar which is located just outside of Kinsale with great sea views. Always a first for us is the welcome. Jim was preparing for a party and immediately invited us to join in. That's a welcome. The rooms are very high quality, ours was spacious with a jacuzzi bath and the... More

We came across this fabulous B&B purely by chance and couldn't of been more impressed. We had drove down to Kinsale by way of Dublin without any reservations for the night. I quickly looked up places on tripadvisor and the Blue Horizon looked nice. We arrived pretty late after a short dirty road drive outside the town. Mary the proprietor... More

The owner, Mary, and her son did some quick switching around to make it from a one bedroom to a two bedroom for us and we still had... More

Jimmy and Mary were wonderful hosts of this beautiful sea side bead and breakfast near The Old Head area of Kinsale. We had beautiful weather with sunny skies so we were able to take advantage of the spectacular Atlantic Ocean views from their place. Breakfast was in the pub each morning with Jimmy and Mary giving us great travel information... More

I sunk right in and all the soreness of our long trip melted away. TIP: Do not empty the whole vile of bubble bath into... More

We had a room with a little patio looking over the pasture to the ocean. It was quite lovely. This place is removed from the bustle of Kinsale. If you want the quaintness of the town, don't stay here. If you want a lovely view and a GREAT beach a short walk downhill, this is the place. You can get... More
