Giles Norman Townhouse

About Us

Welcome to the Giles Norman Townhouse, a luxurious retreat set within a beautifully restored Georgian building in the heart of Kinsale. Our townhouse offers a seamless blend of modern comfort and timeless elegance, providing guests with a truly unique experience.

Each of our guestrooms is an extension of Giles's main gallery, carefully curated by him to showcase pieces from his extensive photography portfolios. Located just steps away from Kinsale’s renowned restaurants, cafés, and bars, the townhouse offers guests easy access to the town's vibrant atmosphere. Kinsale is also brimming with activities, from water-based adventures to historical tours, scenic walks, and breathtaking coastal drives.

The property also houses Giles’s studio and gallery, a creative space where his photographs come to life. In collaboration with Arlene McIntyre of Ventura Design, we’ve designed our guest accommodation to reflect Giles’s artistry and photographic style, creating an environment that immerses you in his creative vision.

Our guest rooms feature luxury amenities including Nespresso coffee, tea selection, free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, luxury bed linen, and goose-down duvets. The Studio, Kinsale Room, and Atlantic Room offer stunning views of the town’s harbour and include super-king-sized beds (which can be split into two singles on request). All rooms feature elegant en-suites with rain showers and organic VOYA toiletries. The spacious Studio also includes a living area, mini-fridge, bath, and a sofa bed for added flexibility.

Please note that all guestrooms are located on the upper levels of the Georgian building and can only be accessed by stairs.

As a guest of the Giles Norman Townhouse, you’ll also enjoy a 10% discount on all purchases at the Giles Norman Photography Gallery, located on the ground floor.
