Near the city of Cork on the Irish Sea lies the village of Kinsale. This grouping of pastel-colored buildings was once primarily a fishing village. While fishing remains important, Kinsale is now better known as the gourmet capital of Ireland. Indeed, its palms trees have even earned the village and the surrounding area the reputation of being an Irish version of the Riviera. The best and most romantic place to stay in Kinsale is the Blue Haven Hotel.
A stay at the Blue Haven Hotel immerses one in the culture of modern Ireland. Brian and Anne Cronin greet each guest and immediately make you feel at home. Though many of the rooms are small, they are all immensely charming and feature such comforts as teapots and homemade Irish whiskey marmalade. Downstairs locals and guests gather in the pub to down a pint of Guinness and engage in colorful and animated discussions. Later on at dinner, you'll enjoy the hotel's fresh seafood and shellfish all excellently prepared. And in the morning, you'll be able to fill up on eggs, homemade yogurt, poached fish, sausage, and Irish bacon.
