Cozy, perfect house in the country

Four of us from LA met up in Dublin to drive south to this lovely little country cottage about 90 minutes south of Dublin, right outside of Kilkenny (which is also beautiful btw). We weren't sure what to expect, but the property is gorgeous and the weather cooperated like a dream. There are local farmers who have cows that graze just over the stone fence in the backyard and the scenery couldn't be more serene. There were some issues with the hot water in the main house the first day, but Sinéad and Mick were very responsive and had the problem fixed immediately. The kitchens are well stocked with whatever you need to cook with and the bedrooms were cozy and lovely. Our two guys even got to know the locals at Irish's pub on the main street (too many shots of whiskey were bought, round by round on the last night) and the local grocer's, Pat and Terese (sp?) were very sweet and super helpful too. Loved everyone we met! Would love to come back next year if we can swing it! - Christine, Alberto, Jerri and Pete

Thank you, Christine, Alberto, Jerri and Pete! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and you are more than welcome to come again whenever you fancy. Sorry you had some trouble initially with the hot water and shower. We’ve replaced the old shower with a power shower, so you shouldn’t have any problems next time! All the best, Sinéad and Mick.

Outstanding Country House

We found this gem of a place to say perfect for our needs. We were two families who traveled to both Kilkenny and Waterford and found this place to stay idyllic.

The farmhouse & guesthouse look lovely from the outside but the main farmhouse requires a deep clean

We travelled as a family of 6 - 2 adults, 2 children plus x2 grandparents. We are familiar with the area, as we have family in Kilkenny and stay every year. Upon arrival we loved the central location and look of the farmhouse and there is lots of land for the children to play cricket and football. Upon entering, the farmhouse is very spacious, but we very soon noticed that it really was in need of a thorough deep clean. We appreciate that the property is very old, but we have stayed in older properties in Ireland & have not had an issue like this before. There was a lot of dust throughout and we felt like some spider webs had been there for a very long time. Even the children commented & they are usually oblivious to this type of thing! The kitchen had everything that you could require, but unfortunately the hob & oven were greasy and we also discovered that the coffee pot had mould growing in it, so could only conclude that the property had only been given a light touch of cleaning before our arrival. This was such as shame, as if it had been spotless, we would have most definitely been able to highly recommend. The guest house was slightly better & we actually used that kitchen to cook in, as the one in the main house, was just not up to a clean standard. This is the first low rating review that I have ever given and am saddened to have to do it, but need to be honest. The owners were great to deal with & like I mention above, the location is great. Please get someone in to give a real deep clean and then the property would be lovely. Thank you.

8/10 Good

This is a restored farm house in a beautiful rural setting.

It is in a great location for day trips to Kilkenny, Waterford, Jerpoint Abbey, Kelly’s Priory and Rock of Cashel. It is a bit far to the grocery stores in Thomastown so pick up your food when on your trips. The house is comfortable with a pleasant kitchen to gather in. We slept 6 with no problem.

Loved the old world charm of this Irish cottage

The cottage was so quaint and the grounds were beautifully maintained. I wish the weather was warmer so we could enjoy the two patios. The kitchen was well equipped, with both coffee and espresso maker. We did have a problem with turning on the heat but owners responded immediately. Once that was on the heated floors were wonderful. It was quite a different experience with the plumbing and heating but once you get the hang of it, worked fine. We had elderly folks with us and although the bedrooms were all upstairs they were manageable.

Amazingly peaceful place

I was honestly a bit hesitant to book as there weren't any reviews and it seemed too good to be true. But I went for it and my family, a friend, and my mother in law7 totally people stayed in this beautiful cottage for 4 nights. It is exactly as pictured and Sinead was very helpful and easy to work with. The driving directions from Dublin are spot on. The country setting allowed for plenty of space for my three boys to play and for my morning runs. We drove and spent the day in cork, Kilkenny, Dublin, and went to the Cliffs of Moher all beautiful drives and easy day trips. The kitchen was great and I made breakfast every morning in it. No complaints. We had a lovely visit and highly recommend it to enjoy the Irish country side instead of the city life.
