WATERFRONT HOUSE – SELF-CATERING IN KINSALE
Set on a full acre of private grounds with sweeping panoramic views across the Bandon River and the Kinsale countryside, The Waterfront House is a generous, beautifully appointed six-bedroom self-catering property sleeping up to 18 guests.
With 2,200 square feet of living space, a large balcony that makes the most of the extraordinary river views, and outdoor entertaining space including a BBQ and patio, this is a home that immediately feels like somewhere special.
Private, peaceful and completely self-contained; yet just nine minutes from the restaurants, bars and harbour of Kinsale town.
Fáilte Ireland approved and finished to a high standard throughout, The Waterfront House is ideal for family gatherings, milestone celebrations, hen weekends and any group looking for a genuinely luxurious base on the Wild Atlantic Way.
Living & Entertaining at The Waterfront House
The Waterfront House has been designed to make the most of its extraordinary setting and from the moment you step inside, the views take centre stage.
Panoramic windows frame the Bandon River and the rolling Kinsale countryside beyond, creating a living space that feels genuinely connected to its surroundings.
At 2,200 square feet across one property, there is generous room for a group of 16 to spread out comfortably. Spacious enough that everyone has their own space, intimate enough that the group naturally comes together.
The living and dining areas are well proportioned and fully furnished, creating the kind of relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that makes a group holiday feel effortless.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering; everything a group needs for a week of home cooking, with all the appliances, cookware and equipment in place.
Don’t feel like cooking every night? We can arrange a private chef to come to The Waterfront House and cook for your group, organise restaurant bookings in Kinsale, cocktail making, in-house massage and more. Just let us know when you enquire and we’ll take care of the details.
Sleeping Arrangements
The Waterfront House has six bedrooms across the single storey property, sleeping up to 18 guests.
The bedroom configuration is well suited to mixed groups, offering a combination of premium and flexible sleeping options.
Three bathrooms serve the six bedrooms, with Bedroom One benefiting from its own private en suite.
Cots and high chairs are available for younger guests. Please confirm requirements at the time of booking.
Please ensure you declare the correct number of guests when booking so that adequate beds, linen and towels are prepared for your arrival.
The Balcony and Outdoor Space
The large balcony at The Waterfront House is one of its defining features. A proper outdoor living space where the panoramic river views can be enjoyed at any time of day, from a morning coffee to an evening drink watching the light change over the Bandon River and the countryside beyond.
The grounds extend to a full acre, giving the property a sense of scale and privacy that is rare for a self-catering property this close to Kinsale town. A dedicated BBQ area and outdoor seating are perfect for al fresco dining and on a warm Kinsale evening, there are few better places to be.
The combination of the balcony, the BBQ terrace and the acre of private grounds means The Waterfront House delivers is perfect for groups looking for views, fresh air and space for the kids to play freely.
