Perfect location

The Dairy cottage was a perfect location for us, a 1.5 hr drive to all the destinations we wanted to see while there in Ireland! The hosts were very kind and willing to go the extra mile. We suggest going into town to the local pub for a pint…. Owner very nice and welcoming!

Perfect Cottage & Location

Our family of 5 adults had such a pleasant stay at the Dairy Cottage. Michael and Sheila made sure all was well for us and offered suggestions and directions for our daily excursions. We all enjoyed returning to the quiet cottage and its beautiful surroundings after our full days of adventures. I recommend the Dairy Cottage to those who want a fantastic experience in Ireland.

Lovely Irish Countryside Cottage

After a long day of traveling internationally, we arrived to this beautiful countryside cottage surrounded by cows out back! The cottage itself is exactly what you see in the photographs, and so lovely! The Dairy Cottage was the cleanest rental we've ever stayed at! What made this VRBO so wonderful was the hospitality of the owners Sheila and Michael. They were both so kind and very responsive to our every need and generously gave us a tour of their farm because our son loves cows! Would highly recommend you stay at The Dairy Cottage, if not for the location and views then for the excellent hospitality!

Everything you could hope for and more!

The home was extremely warm and comfortable. Everything one needs was there, and we felt so welcomed when we saw the fresh baked biscuits and jam, waiting for us upon our arrival. We had originally reserved an apartment in the heart of Dublin back in February for this same period. 10 days before our arrival into Ireland the host with no prior warning or explanation canceled the reservation. We were extremely concerned that the entire vacation to Ireland would now be ruined. How could we have possibly have known that that cancellation would have actually been a godsend. It brought us to this lovely lovely home. Thank you thank you thank you. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

Great house with great views!

What they don't tell you on the site is the great views the house has overlooking the valley. Gorgeous! All in all a very nice place to stay! The house is very homely and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen lacks microwave and utensils (for stirring etc). Nice to have a washer dryer as we have seen some rain ;-). Groceries and all the other things you might need in Nenagh, a 15 mn drive. Nice big Tesco supermarket! But also a Lidl supermarket on the other side of town. Sheila greated us very briefly on arrival had to get back to work in a hurry. Her husband came a day early to say goodbye. Thougt we were leaving the next day, which we weren't. Not the greatest hosts we've seen.... But... Maybe we're the exception to the rule as other reviewers were very enthousiastic about their hospitality.

Hi Nelleke Really disappointed that you thought I rushed your arrival . I went through all the house with you and informed you of all the workings of the house and local places to eat as I did not want to intrude on your time . And I did greet you with home cooked baking . I had given you both our numbers to contact us if you ever needed us. We do have all kitchen utensils , their is two drawers fully equipped for kitchen purposes ie stirring . We do apologise for the mix up of the dates and Michael did apologies for that . I am very disappointed you have given us a review like this Regards Sheila

Lovely Home, but...

The Dairy Cottage is a lovely property, just wish we could have enjoyed it more. The day before our arrival Shelia emailed me and asked what time we would be arriving and that they were looking forward to meeting us. Since the arrival instructions say check-in is at 4 I emailed her back and said that we would be there around 4. We arrived at the house at 3:55 and no one was there. At around 4:30 we checked the front door and it was unlocked and the house key was on the table along with a sweet treat. We wandered around the house and figured out all the little details that it would have been nice to have explained to you. Around 8:30 Michael rang the door bell and said hello what time did you get in? I said 4 and he said he must have just missed us. That was the extent of our contact for the entire 6 days we were there (other than me emailing Shelia that there was no hair dryer). As I said the house was lovely and I do not have any complaints in that department. We have been renting homes in various countries and localities for several years now, and I have never once arrived at a home that I was renting and not been greeted. Honestly we felt like an annoying house guest that you are just hoping will leave (we almost did).

Hi Terry We are disappointed that you feel that way about our hospitality . It was not intentional not to meet you on arrival , I was there but obviously due to timing we both missed each other and I sincerely apologies for that and I did not see or hear you passing in nor there was no contact from you to say you had arrived . Sometimes guests do not arrival on the expected time of arrival due to traffic and unforeseen circumstance so I left and returned later . When I did meet you I found you very pleasant and I was about to show you around the house but you assured me you had it figured out . However , I could not say the same for your partner Dan . When I welcomed Dan he remained foscused on the Television , I walked over to shake his hand and welcome him , Dan briefly lifted his head to shake my hand and returned watching the TV. At this stage I was feeling very unwanted in my very own house . So feeling that uneasy I returned to you and asked if you needed to know anything else and then Dan spoke up and still remained focused on the television his exact words to you were “ ask him how the god dam coffee machine works “ the manner and tone this was said in I really felt that it was excessively rude so I once again asked if you needed anything and told you if you need anything contact myself or Sheila anytime . I fear I could not be more obliging than this and felt that you really wanted to be left alone and I did so . So I apologies for our break down in communication and we are upset that you feel you were not welcomed and we will note your comment and take note for the future . Thank you for your constructive criticism . Regards Michael and Sheila

Such a great stay my family will return again, even if it's just 3 of us!

Before reviewing the Dairy Cottage, I wanted to address the negative reviews as let's be honest, those are really the ones we read first, not just the ones talking about the gorgeous view of the valley (which is does have). The kitchen is well stocked & supplied with both a microwave & as many utensils as you could possibly need. The comments about Michael and Sheila as owners completely baffle me which leads me to draw my own conclusions about those who spoke poorly about them as hosts. You'd have to be a pretty miserable person to find the Fogerty's anything but wonderful (sorry, tried to bite my tongue but just couldn't!). If you expect close/daily interaction with the owners of your cottage it's probably best to ask those questions before booking, if you expect a B&B situation, communicate that or ask if that's the type of place you're renting! Now onto the good stuff: The Cottage is impeccable. The pictures are completely accurate, and yes....the view out the back patio of the cottage is everything your Irish holiday/vacation dreams are envisioning and more. The beds are firm, comfortable, and put you into a deep sleep. Bathrooms are very well equipped, clean, and modern. The baked goods upon arrival and milk in the fridge are perfect for that quick snack/boost you need before taking your jet-lagged self to the Tesco nearby for your groceries for your stay. The fact that Sheila finds time between her work, her young child, and the cottage to bake (from scratch) delicious treats for the arrival of her guests is just awesome. I stayed in the cottage with my husband, 1.5yr old daughter (travel cot and highchair provided), my mother-in-law, and my mother and father. We were very comfortable, found more than enough space to cook dinners in the kitchen together as well as retreat to our bedrooms to relax for some quiet time was great. We also arranged to tour the dairy farm on one of our more relaxed days at the cottage. My daughter loved it (as did we!) and it was so nice to have that extra time to get to know Michael a little better. My husband and I have used Homeaway to rent apartments/homes/cottages in Adare, Ireland; Cortona, Italy; Bolonga, Italy; The Cape in the USA; Cinque Terre, Italy, & downtown Boston, MA, USA. I TRULY & HONESTLY can say, without bias, the Fogerty's are the most kind, genuine, and passionate hosts we've ever had. You will have no regrets with this cottage, the owners, or the location. All were beyond perfect!

Peacefully Wonderful!

Thank you, thank you! We can’t thank our hosts enough for sharing the “Dairy Cottage” with us during our stay in Ireland. The cottage had everything we needed and was probably one the most peaceful accommodations we’ve stayed at in a long time, even with a working dairy farm right next door! Thanks Sheila and Michael for everything!

Wunderschönes Cottage in einer ruhigen und grünen Lage

Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl in dieser Unterkunft gefühlt. Michel und Sheila sind sehr nett und sofort zur Stelle, wenn man fragen hat. Wir haben auch sehr gut geschlafen, die Betten sind sehr gut. ist nicht immer die Regel. Durch die mittige Lage, sind alle Städte gut zu erreichen.

Central Ireland Visit

The Dairy Cottage is a wonderful place to visit if you are wanting to see the beautiful Irish countryside. The central location made it possible for us to visit sites to the south, west and east. There is a nice-size Tesco's market in nearby Nenagh, so self-catering was simple. The homeowners were very friendly and offered us great tips on places we could visit. Overall, excellent

"Perfect'

Michael and Sheila were excellent hosts, providing great hospitality. When we arrived and I asked our daughters what they thought of The Dairy, their one word response was "Perfect" and indeed it is. The Dairy is located on a working dairy farm and is well situated for day trips to Blarney and Bunratty Castles and the Rock of Cashel. The bedrooms are spacious, especially the Master. The kitchen is well equipped and the deck offers excellents views of the picturesque countryside. We have many golden memories of our trip to Ireland.
