About this cottage rental

The 'Old House' has been in the family for 500 years but was renovated in 2009 and is in mint condition.
If you like privacy, you will like this. Our detached sunny and spacious cottage is nestled down an old boithrin by a river on its own 4 acres. There aren’t that many of them left.
The house is on the Tipperary Kilkenny board and is only 20 minutes’ drive from Kilkenny city and Kilkenny castle.
Recently renovated, this cottage epitomizes the rustic lifestyles of old Ireland. It has 2 large double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and 2 double loft bedrooms. One of the lofts is enclosed. Sleeps 8 comfortably. Washing machine, dishwasher and free wifi included.
There is a front entrance and back entrance. The courtyard at the back entrance is a sun trap.
If you are interested in experiencing traditional Irish music and pubs, please enquire. We know where all the gigs are.
If you are interested in hiking, fishing or horse riding, it is ideal, but you can also find live theaters, shopping and restaurants within a 10-20 minute drive. The famous Kilkenny arts festival takes place only 20 minutes’ drive away.
If you would like to know what real Ireland is like and how it is lived by the locals you will like this. The local pubs and shops are a 5-minute drive away. It’s the real Ireland.

We enjoyed our week in Ireland and staying at this house made it all the more special! The layout of the house is perfect and so is the location. We used it as our home base to enjoy various parts of Ireland and returning to the house felt like coming home. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to be back some day!

We only stayed for four days but really enjoyed the beautiful garden as well as the interesting light fixtures in the house. They gave everything such a homely feeling. The area is very calm and good for people who are looking for mostly being in nature. If you want to go sight seeing, you should consider the time it takes to get there.

Our house was truly a wonderful Irish experience. Residing in a historic, 500 year old farmhouse, and updated renovations indoors provided both the comforts of home as well as the Irish experience in the country. Home provided all the necessities (kitchen fully stocked and bath) required and was located in the perfect central location where we could daily trips (East, West, and South) to every coastal town/cliffs/castles/palaces; majority trips were anywhere from 30 to 90 minute drives. The hostess was so helpful prior to our arrival when we reached out due to a bad experience with a home further north for the beginning of our trip. Although she couldn't accommodate us earlier she helped us with new accommodations in the vacinity we were at. Our experience was wonderful and allowed us to enjoy Ireland without picking up and moving every two days. Highly recommend

Please don’t let anyone know about this gem. So charming and wonderful. We can’t wait to come back again. Lovely country setting, but near a town with a wonderful bakery. The pictures on the VRBO site don’t do it justice. And Diane is a delight. Thanks so much!
