01 · The invitation

One pink house.
Two very good reasons
to make the journey.

Downstairs, the catch of the day meets prime Irish beef and a cellar built for long dinners. Upstairs, no room looks quite like another. Choose one, or make an evening of both.

Under new ownership

A century of welcome.
Fresh hands at the table.

In July 2026, John and Julie Finn took the keys from the Fitzgibbon family and opened the next chapter at number 163. After fourteen years at Finns’ Farmcut in Kinsale, they arrived in Youghal with a deep respect for the house and a clear appetite for what comes next.

The local seafood remains. Prime Irish meat now has a bigger place at the table. Around the house, the entrance, breakfast room and bedrooms are being refreshed one thoughtful detail at a time.

The sea.
The grill.
The main event.

Aherne’s has always followed the boats. Now the grill shares the spotlight. Local seafood, prime Irish steaks, seasonal produce and the confidence to let every ingredient speak for itself.

04 · Stay

Ten rooms.
No two alike.

The townhouse grew over generations, so its rooms refuse to follow a template. Expect antiques, crisp linen, surprising colour and breakfast from the same kitchen that made dinner memorable.
