Castle Townshend – Kate Anne’s Cottage

Kate Anne’s Cottage

Kate Anne’s is a 260 year old cottage on the Main Street in Castletownshend, approximately 7 km from Skibbereen town.

The hosts, Tim and Maura, have recently completed a sympathetic restoration of the cottage. They have retained many of its original features, giving this home amazing old world charm and character. There are two double bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen/dining room as well as family bathroom and ground floor WC. The local pub is just across the road and at the back of the cottage, there is a large, private garden overlooking the harbour. Mary Ann’s Bar and Restaurant, just down the street, serves great food all year round.

“The Castle – Boutique Accommodation”

“Full of character and old-world charm, ‘The Castle’ offers a welcoming retreat from everyday life. Nestled at the edge of a scenic harbour and natural woodlands for you to explore, The Castle is a truly unique place to stay. It has the warm, homely feel of a traditional Irish B&B, but with a few extra special touches.

Steeped in history, The Castle has been home to the Townshend family since the 1650s and has been receiving guests for over 60 years. Inside the old stone walls, you’ll find welcoming faces to greet you, roaring fires to warm you, and comfy beds to sink into. Each room has its own story to tell, with the oak-panelled hall and spacious dining room retaining most of their original features, furniture, and family portraits. Stroll through the winding pathways of our historic grounds, discovering ivy-covered ruins and their stories along the way”.

“While you are a guest in our family’s home, the only thing on your ‘To Do list’, is to relax. We will look after the rest”.
