Right, so this one was always going to be a challenge because it absolutely chucked it down for pretty much the entire time I was in Kinsale, this gorgeous little harbour town down on the south coast of County Cork. I'd already done Dingle (the internet reckons these two are the best seaside towns in Ireland, so naturally I had to do both), and I wasn't about to sack it off after paying to get here. So I braved the rain at Charles Fort, got hopelessly lost down the colourful back streets, ducked into a proper old pub for a pint of Murphy's, and even faced my fears with a seafood chowder and some monkfish at Jim Edwards — me, the bloke whose idea of seafood is fish and chips and a garlic prawn if he's feeling brave. I also checked into Perryville House, the best-rated hotel in town, which set me back a fair bit but was honestly up there with the nicest places I've stayed. Oh, and I met my long-lost Irish twin. Stick around, it's a good 'un. 👉Follow me on Substack for free daily blog posts - https://substack.com/@bythecurb Social media - 🟦 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/bythecurb1 🟥 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/by_the_curb/

James, just drink the Guiness and eat the fish & chips - ignore the haters! Great video
I am so sad, you have had such terrible weather in two of my favorite places. Dingle and Kinsale. To be honest I have been to Kinsale 6 times and it poured every time.
Weather does make a difference but what a beautiful place, and that hotel was an absolute cracker. I'd like to see you go back with Helen and do a proper pub crawl, apparently the pubs are amazing. Another great Sunday evening vid James :)
I like your style, great videos in Ireland. Get to Galway, Mayo and Roscommon next time
James, you are so engaging. I really felt like I was there with you. You have such a relaxed and friendly style. You definitely did not go over the top on that Hotel, it looked awesome. I’d have gone for the traditional fish and chips no matter what people say in the comments. You like what you like. The breakfast looked delicious. Great video - thanks mate. 👍
Fantastic James. Even with the terrible weather, you still made a really interesting, brilliant video. It's my dream to get the ferry over to Ireland one day to travel to where my family originates in Galway.
The hotel was really nice and cosy. Beautiful furniture. Thanks James.
whata lovely part of the world (not matter what the weather!) Guinness in Ireland is better than anywwhere(must be the water!) I bet Helen, Becky and your daughter would love that fairy shop!! lovely local business - better than most
Your a very very lucky man James,i envy what you do and being able to do it! Its a dream I dream...all the very best James and your good lady Helen..I live in hope.
They hotel was beautiful you left the best to last including the weather
Never been to Ireland enjoyed the video just hyped x
"A skate park for psychos " 😂🤣
Breakfast looked bloody gorgeous ❤ what a nice hotel. Worth the money for a treat
That Hotel looked great. The breakfast too, it was ni e to see that you were given two eggs as so many places seem to serve only one these days. Also with dishes such as Ham and Egg etc. ‘
Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you, everywhere you go you always take the weather.
Got back from cork n kerry last week after visiting family can't beat the weather 😂😂
In Cork you should drink Murphys
You could tell through the screen that the Hotel was a bit special, worth every penny I'd say. Nice video James.
They paint the buildings such beautiful colours there, we ought to do that in England. Our houses and shops are so drab in comparison
When you went in the shop with the vintage car in it, you missed the sign for Lyons Cakes. Barnsley based primarily for the last 50 yrs 👍
