The location is truly picturesque. The cottage was very clean and hosts welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to stay again!

Superb in every aspect.

This property is nestled atop a hill on a one lane road. Ferns, fuschia, and foxglove line the drive. Once you arrive chickens, geese, and peacocks scurry around, calling out to sound your arrival. There is a pair of friendly donkeys, and farm cats looking for scratches. The cottage is like stepping back in time. Tastefully decorated, and stocked with all of the necessities. Our host was very welcoming, and gave us a wonderful tour. This is a rustic functional farm, so be prepared for a real experience. There is a pub just up the road with good food. There is a few local experiences to have, like wooded walks, and a castle. We hope to visit them on our next trip back.

Cottage was everything we imagined it would be! Ciaran and Diedre were outstanding hosts; very helpful and accommodating. Even had great recommendations for places to see in the area. Will definitely stay here again if given the opportunity and would highly recommend for anyone searching for a unique experience for their Irish holiday!

We had a great stay in a truly unique place. Thanks for everything!

Turrock Cottage is a magical place. Everywhere you look there is something delightful to see. The owners were welcoming and helpful. Important that you like animals and don't mind driving on a narrow laneway. Closest food is about 15 minutes away. Would be a good idea to bring breakfast food with you. Would love to revist with family and friends.

Best hosts ever!! Ciaran and Deidre are so gracious and fun!! All of the furry and feathered friends make Turrock cottage and its country quietness make it one of the most relaxing places you'll find in Ireland. Well be back!! Chris and Kim

We had a lovely time in the cottage! It was just what we needed after our long flight! We wish we would have stayed another night! Mario the cat was a treat for our 13 year old and Ciaran & Deirdre were wonderful hosts! Definitely recommend!

Ciaran & Deirdre are wonderful hosts...they were most helpful to us navigating to the cottage and welcoming us on arrival. The cottage and surroundings are spectacular. Highly recommend!!

We have just left a few hours ago - and we already miss all: our wonderful hosts, the loving furnished cottage, the music of that magical place! We would turn around if we could…

This was a great place to unplug. We wish we had more time to be there and in warmer weather when we could have enjoyed the outdoors more than we were able to. The cats did not disappoint!

We had a fantastic couple of day among the geese and ducks, and had an extra occupant in a lovely placid cat. Deirdre and Ciaran are lovely, friendly people and the property is an experience in itself.

Had a great time visiting Turrock Cottage—it’s charming and comfortable! The owners are lovely and accommodating and Juno the dog and Mario the cat, along with the donkeys and chickens, made us feel very welcomed !!! Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Absoluut schitterende cottage in stijl. Locatie is afgelegen dus ideaal voor de rustzoekers die er even tussenuit willen. Zeer vriendelijke gastheer en veel leuke dieren die je meteen thuis laten voelen.

We had a great time in your beautiful Cottage. Wonderful place. Our Children enjoyed your animals very much. Hope we see us again.

Beautiful cottage! Very cosy and homely! Stunning scenery and very peaceful. Ciaran and Deirdre are very welcoming and helpful. Loved our stay!

It's exactly as advertised -- a quiet, delightful country experience. The accommodations are top flight, the hospitality is infused with Irish warmth, and the furry and feathered friends add extra charm to it all. The road is a bit of a driving challenge but don't let that deter you. It's a great starting place for day trips to so many places. Bottom line -- we loved everything and every minute.

The best blend of authenticity, comfort, beauty, coziness, enchantment and graciousness one could hope to encounter.

Cozy cottage. Great location… Only suggestions...have visible directional signage & improve safety of shower floor.

For the 2nd leg of our trip we wanted someplace quiet but centrally located. This cottage was perfect. Ciaran was great at communicating with us pre-arrival and so very helpful and warm while we were there. The cottage itself was fabulous. Very tidy, beautifully appointed, quaint but spacious enough for 2 couples. Beds were comfortable with lovely linens. The only one of our 4 self catering accomodations to have wash clothes and topsheets! The locals (Juno the dog, donkeys, cats, chickens and ducks) were quite entertaining. We made day trips to Waterford, Kilbaggen, and Kilkenny easily from here. The washing machine and dishwasher were convenient, only thing missing was a tumble dryer but we had use of drying racks and a clothes line. I can not recommend a stay at the cottage highly enough.

We loved our time at the stone cottage “in the middle of nowhere”. The owners, the animals all made us feel very welcome. We purchased a Shillelagh in the village which is a perfect souvenir of our holiday in Ireland.

The cottage was so charming with sweet details all around. The bed comfortable warmed with an electric mattress pad and heater; the bedroom nice and large as well as the kitchen area. The owner was very helpful with local information. Mario, the cottage cat, was a wonderful companion and came in daily to keep us company. Two donkeys enjoyed carrots; Juno, the border collie loved catching sticks, and the Indian runner ducks, geese, and chickens quite entertaining. I loved the experience of being here!

Exactly what we wanted. A cottage with enough modern convenience yet the rustic charm to make it unique. The hosts are charming and helpful. And have the animals around gave it the right feel.. We must also express our appreciation to Mario for all the specialized attention and for him sharing his time with us.

Such a lovely place - the cottage is beautiful! Hosts are lovely Thanks again !

Home from home. You have everything that you need

From the minute we arrived Ciaran and Deirdre made us feel totally welcome. The cottage was all we expected and more. It had views which were amazing the animals which were friendly and so much detail had gone into the decor to give it the rustic Irish feel. The area was good for touring but you could quite easy spend a few days here without ever leaving the cottage. The beds were comfortable and the spiral staircase an adventure. The hosts are excellent at what they do and I can't wait to my next visit.

I can not say enough good things about this home and our hosts!!! We have traveled quite a lot and this home has been our absolute favorite! The home itself is absolutely gorgeous, the decor is beautiful and gives it such a homey feel, we enjoyed fresh eggs and homemade scones and wonderful conversations with our host. The animals were a bonus! We fed the donkeys and played with Juno (the dog) and loved on Milo (the cat) and laughed over George Clooney (the goose). There were walking trails on the property and we so enjoyed the peacefulness of the place. My daughter slept in one of the lofts upstairs and loved staring out the picture window as she fell asleep and then awoke each morning. We truly hated to leave! One more thing I will mention, our plane arrived in Dublin at 4:30 a.m. We had been on two flights with one very long layover and none of us had slept. We explored the city until we just simply had no energy left. We weren't supposed to check in till 4:00 but we ended up arriving at 3:00. Personally, I would've been a bit put out at our early arrival but our hosts were so kind. Even though they were in the midst of cleaning up from their last guests, they finished quickly and welcomed us inside. How's that for wonderful hosts? Again, we enjoyed this place more than any we have ever stayed at and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Our hosts, Ciaran and Dierdre, were so very warm and welcoming. Their farm, with wonderful and entertaining assortment of geese, ducks, chickens, two sweet rescued donkeys and much loved dog and kittys made our stay feel like we had gone back in time to a simpler, more peaceful way of life. Turrock Cottage was truly a lovely, beautifully restored home away from home and Ciaran and Dierdre were ever attentive to whatever we might need, whether directions and recommendations to area places of interest, to providing any essentials we might be missing, or just to sit and chat with us about the history of the place and people who had lived and visited there. Very warm and inviting - makes you want to go back!!!

The house is a lovely country cottage. With the most beautiful views. The owners are amazing friendly people. Oh and so are the animals

This is a beautiful place in the Wicklow mountains. The host are incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The kids loved the animals and our adventures on the trails.

The house was so charming. The grounds green and lively with friendly cats and dog. There were geese, chickens with pants lol. The beds were so comfy. Very quiet...only could hear the birds and the bleats of the sheep. Very unique place. I could see how kids would love it here!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Turrock Cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and authentic Irish countryside experience. We began our two week driving holiday staying with Deirdre and Ciaran for two nights and they set a high standard for every place we stayed afterwards. My sister and I were taking my parents (79 and 80) around Ireland by car. The cottage is well equipped with everything our family needed both big (dishwasher, pots, fireplace) and small (tea cosy, spices, proper knives) which made us feel right at home. The beds were very comfortable and the place was extremely well kept and clean. The layout was perfect for us - older parents in the main floor bedroom, my sister and I each in our own loft. The property is set in a beautiful secluded valley, which is a bit difficult to find first time but adds to the peaceful setting. Ducks and geese and chickens and cats and donkeys and a very friendly dog (Juno) are all part of the experience. (l will add photos to my review once I return home to my computer). We used this location as our base to explore the south east corner of the country and it suited well. This place stands apart from other properties we have stayed due to the personal touch of the proprietors. Little things like fresh cut flowers from the garden and fresh eggs from the hens show the care and attention Deidre and Cairan take to make their guests feel welcome. These hosts are on sight and are genuinely eager to actually meet and host with friendly Irish hospitality, unlike many other locations we stayed where, though comfortable and well appointed, there is a caretaker who simply oversees the coming and goings of tourists through a property as a business operation. Chatting with Ciaran and Deirdre was a highlight of our trip to Ireland. I look forward to returning someday to continue our conversations.
