Lodge your claim for Sandycove stunner

Nothing’s overlooked at Gorse Lodge, bar a picturesque creek by the sublime Kinsale area’s Sandycove Island, finds Tommy Barker.    

Cork people might occasionally be inclined to take Kinsale a bit for granted — but if they visited a place on a par with Kinsale anywhere else, anew, they’d lap it up immediately.

Perhaps it’s something to do with over-familiarity, down the years but, right now, Kinsale’s a town at the top of its game, yet under-appreciated locally.
