    QUINLAN & COOKE BOUTIQUE TOWNHOUSE AND QC’S SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

     

    Quinlan & Cooke Boutique Townhouse, formerly QC’s, situated in the heart of Cahersiveen on Kerry’s spectacular Wild Atlantic Way is a superb place to stay while discovering the natural beauty of South Kerry.

    Opened in 2000, it was originally known as a destination seafood bar and restaurant when visiting Kerry, QC’s has been transformed by owner Kate Cooke into the ideal destination for visitors, with the addition of quirky, super comfortable, stylish rooms offering a touch of luxury combined with a homely charm.
