About this property
Cozy 2-bedroom stone cottage with large garden
Our cozy two-bedroom cottage is in a private and secluded garden setting, but with easy access to local attractions in nearby towns of Kilkenny and Waterford. The guest cottage is part of a farmhouse complex that has been carefully restored with hand-crafted woodwork and natural stone throughout. It is clean and comfortable.
The cottage contains two double bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, a sitting room and one bathroom. The farm buildings surround a courtyard which features a landscaped patio with flower garden. There is also a large open, walled garden with lawn that is a great play area for kids and pets. The cottage has its own driveway and parking. There is a small patio outside the sitting room. The cottage has a small fireplace and central heating. All bed clothes and towels are included. A laundry room with washing machine and dryer is in an adjacent building.
This stone cottage is the Guest Cottage to Gorman's Cottage. It can be rented separately or together with the main house for larger groups (see #1021234).
The cottage is situated in a quiet rural setting surrounded by farmland. It is an ideal location for a quiet family holiday, but there are many attractions within a short drive, including the cities of Kilkenny, Waterford, and the picturesque towns and villages spread throughout the beautiful Kilkenny countryside. This is a great area for golfing, fishing, cycling, hill walking and exploring the many medieval castles, abbeys and churches dotting the countryside. South Kilkenny is also famous for its many designers and craft workshops including Kilkenny Design Center, Nicholas Mosse Pottery, Jerpoint and Duiske Glass makers, amongst many others. The City of Kilkenny is an exciting destination with a well-preserved medieval core focused on the stunning Kilkenny Castle and Gardens. It has an active arts scene with a range of galleries, studios, museums, and historic attractions. It is a great place to eat, drink, shop and explore. Kilkenny hosts several festivals over the summer months including the Kilkenny Arts Festival in August and the Cat’s Laugh comedy festival in June. The Viking city of Waterford, a short 30-minute drive away by motorway, is also a lively spot with plenty to do and see.
