Great location for this authentic Irish cottage. Cozy environment nestled between 2 great pubs and local boat dock.

We had a brilliant time in Garrykennedy. The house was perfect for our group, right in the middle of Garrykennedy with 2 great pubs on our doorstep, and a lovely cafe. Our host was also very helpful and accommodating.

Lovely for a family weekend

The house was great.... and the location was spectacular !

We so enjoyed our stay at the GarryKennedy cottage which is the ideal place to just stop, relax and enjoy Ireland away from the cities. An ideal spot if you want to just relax, enjoy the two village pubs, meander along the walking paths, watch the boaters on the water or take short day trips (Adare, Cashel Castle, Galway and so many other places). It is exactly as described. Hesitant to recommend it to others, only because we want it available for our next visit.

Our family of 9 had a wonderful stay at GarryKennedy Cottage. Centrally located for day trips and only a few feet away from Larkin’s Pub and Restaurant where we ate every night after a long day of touring. The cottage was cozy and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Owner, Brendan Dempsey was always very responsive with returning calls or email. You will not be disappointed with this lovely cottage. Thank you for sharing your home. Cindy, Dan, and family

Great cottage for any trip to Ireland! Our group of 8 stayed at Garrykennedy cottage for 12 days in May and it was just the right size and location for our trip. The cute-as-can-be cottage is located centrally enough so that you can make day trips practically anywhere in Ireland. Its about 10-15 minutes from the main motorway which will take you right to Dublin or Limerick and makes for nice, easy driving - especially to and from the airports. The house itself is a great size for a group, plenty of bedrooms with good storage space and the kitchen and dining room are perfect for those meals when you don't want to have to go out to eat. We especially loved being right in the village of Garrykennedy with the picturesque lake directly across the street and Larkins pub a couple doors down. It was a nice to end our days coming back to the quiet house, unloading our stuff and being able to go for a walk or just pop down to Larkins for a pint! Every step of the rental process was simple and well-documented, with a very handy set of manuals outlining everything you'd want to know about the cottage itself and the area. The owner was super helpful with any questions leading up to our trip and was always available through text or email while we were there. We cannot recommend Garrykennedy Cottage enough; staying there made our trip to Ireland all the more enjoyable and memorable :-)

I would give this cottage 6 stars if I could! We love the Garrykennedy area for it's quiet peacefulness and friendly people. So convenient to any direction that you wish to day tour. Also, there are many activities if you wish to spend some time on the lake, walking or just enjoying the cottage. The cottage is so well equipped, you will most likely not need a thing. Dunnes grocery and Country Choice in Nenagh, are wonderful places to pick up items for your stay and we always make a point of stopping at the Wooden Spoon in Killaloe while in the area. The owners are wonderful to work with. Highly recommend this cottage and look forward to returning for another stay in the future!
