About this house rental

No visitor to the house fails to appreciate the time and effort that has gone into restoring this heritage home. From the artfully refurbished original floorboards to the magnificent nineteenth century iron bath, this tastefully restored Georgian residence is a real treat to anyone looking for a refreshing and authentic alternative to much modern accommodation today. The house combines the original character with all the comfort and trappings of modern convenience. Three of the bedrooms are en-suite while the kitchen comes equipped with an array of accessories. All that you could possibly need to make your stay both restive and restorative is included.
The house is situated in the very heart of the beautiful village of Kinnitty, nestled at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains. Magnificent walking and biking trails are at your door while the Shannon river is close, for quality fishing and boating.


Setting: The private and spacious environs are the perfect compliment to the authentic charm and beauty of the tastefully restored Georgian residence. Through double doors, the soothing sounds of the passing stream offer those relaxing on the patio a chance to savour the rugged beauty of the majestic Slieve Bloom mountains.

On your doorstep: Take a step outside and find yourself in the very heart of the beautiful village of Kinnitty, nestled at the foot of the Slieve Blooms. Take a stroll through the centre or stop at the 'Slieve Bloom Bar', where live music is often found or at the Black and White award-winning pub 'Clendenings' where a turf fire and a friendly welcome is guaranteed. A pleasant walk East of the village will bring you to the world famous Kinnitty Castle where all the opulence and luxury of the original castle is combined with a host of activities from equestrian trips to mountain hikes.

Lots to do and see: There is something for everyone. Enjoy the music and atmosphere in the local pubs or take in some of the native Irish field sports played in the area. Walk through the heart of the Bog of Allen and admire the extraordinary sculptures in Lough Boora parklands. Stroll around the heritage town of Birr where the award-winning Birr Castle Demense Gardens can be found. Take a boat on the Shannon down to Lough Derg to fish or simply relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. Marvel at the immaculately preserved Monastic ruins at Clonmacnoise. Catch one of the many festivals or explore the mountains on your doorstep with the local club. Truly, you won't be bored.

Charming home with charming owner living next door. Beds comfortable and plenty of space, wonderful wood fire place. This house is pretty remote in that the town has 2 pubs one tiny grocer and one cafe that closed at 6. Roads are quite extra narrow here so brush up on your driving. Birr castle grounds amazing. We had some difficulty finding places to eat later in the evenings; weekend pubs book up with weddings so closed to general public. All in all great value, lovely but remote area.

Arrived early nobody there to meet us as arranged. Found the keys inside and hoped we had the right place. Let ourselves in. Property requires a good clean and redecorating. Damp/mould in the showers, kitchen and living room. The house was cold even in this extreme hot weather. Washing and dryer in an outhouse full of peat and bird droppings. Yes the house would sleep eight but could not accommodate for eight people. Bedding was stained and smelt sweaty. Outdoor seating area not inviting and overgrown. Lovely location, friendly people. Overall very disappointed with the property.

Bright and spacious house with antique charm but modern comforts. Jimmy was a great host! We loved Kinnitty town: visiting Kinnitty Castle for lunch then walking the forest trails; rambling through the wildflower-strewn graveyard to the pyramid; Peavoy's coffee and pastries; and memorable evenings of craic and craft beer at the Slieve Bloom Bar right next door (say hello to Anna, Martin & Kieran for us!). Finally, the central location makes for easy day trips to all the fun and adventure you're dreaming of in Ireland.

We’ve just returned from a wonderful break in Kinnitty. The house is perfect, lovely and spacious with ample bathrooms and well equipped. Kinnitty itself is a brilliant village with two great bars and centrally located for accessing many different parts of Ireland! Highly recommended!
