Charming cottage in pastoral setting

Accessed by a rural lane, the traditional thatched-roof cottage where we stayed near Adare is full of authenticity and charm, and surrounded by a cottage garden with a sunny terrace, roses and arbors. We took walks along the farm lanes, carpeted with daisies and bordered with white flowering hawthorn hedges and cow parsley, Quite idyllic, and well situated for visiting ancient stone circles, ruined priories, and the bustling historic town of Adare. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. We had a wonderful time!

Would highly recommend!

We had a fabulous stay! The cottage was clean, comfortable, and cozy with all the amenities we needed. David and Joan were welcoming and all around great hosts! Jake and Ted became our canine companions, always there to greet us when we returned from a day of exploring. We look forward to another stay at this very special cottage!

Magical!

The grounds are breathtaking. The host and their two dogs were wonderful. This is a very old cottage and needs some updating like new furniture and mattresses. The beds are not comfortable, but our stay was magical! The area, the garden and the people made this a wonderful family vacation that we will remember forever!

Wonderful stay

Our stay at the cottage was a real delight. The farm atmosphere was a great change from town life. The cottage is located near Adare in County Limerick, so a trip to town was just minutes away. The area is beautiful and there are many pubs, restaurants, and attractions. We will definitely stay again if we come back this way

Incredible cottage

This cozy cottage was so welcoming! We loved how meticulously well looked after this historic space was. All the thick walls and comfortable beds made for a great night's rest. We enjoyed visiting in the sitting area with tea and the home-made scones. Our hosts were very hospitable.

My Ireland Dream

When planning this trip one of my goals was to stay in a thatched cottage. This was perfection. From the greeting we received from the owning family, to the wonderful homey decor, to the cows in the pastures and Jake and Rollie the corgis it was the ideal setting. Hope so much to be able to return at some point.

Enchanting Cottage

This wonderful 300 year old cottage is more even more beautiful and charming than it appears in the photos. My family loved our stay: snuggled up on a rainy day inside in front of the fire, sitting in the stunning back garden, eating meals prepared in the modern (but tight) kitchen, and wandering around the lovely farm. Joan and David were very welcoming, and they immediately replied to any queries.

Lovely Irish Cottage

Lovely Irish Cottage in Adare. My sister, nephew and I always wanted to stay in a cottage Adare. My sister and I were born in Limerick. This was a perfect location to visit the family and take some road trips. There is a hotel across the road with two great restaurants. Joan and DAVID were so accommodating. The cottage was adorable and there was lots of open space on the farm to roam around and see the animals.I look forward to staying there again in the future. Thank you Joan and David!

Idyllic stay in a thatched cottage near Adare Co Limerick in beautiful Irish countryside

Well restored thatched cottage Away from the road and on a farm so very safe Well decorated and Joan is an artist so lots of paintings in the cottage Very clean and with all the 2020 amenities in a classic rural setting - impossible to have everything perfect but you take care of the cottage and it will take care of you Very peaceful. Great for all ages but especially older people and young kids . 3 double beds and I large single over 3 rooms with two showers units and a nice sitting area. Close to friendly hotel for food, drunk and the gym If you must. Plenty of walks 6 Km to Adare and Limerick but hardly ever left the place. It was just what was needed Joan Mick and their son, David Vevy helpful and nothing is a problem Will hopefully be back Leo Stassen

Just lovely

Beautiful Irish cottage in a quiet setting and close to the village of Adare.( “the prettiest village in Ireland”). Central location making travel to many of the famous attractions in Southern Ireland very accessible. The owners were so helpful and Joan, Michael and David made our first trip to Ireland a truly memorable one. Hope to come back soon and stay in the Adare Irish cottages.

If you are looking for a unique Irish experience this is it. The cottage has all of the old world charm of a thatched roof cottage with all of the modern conveniences. Joan was great to deal with, the location is amazing. Can’t overstate how happy I was with the entire experience.

Amazing Experience

Cottage was clean, well appointed, and in a great location. Owners were responsive and helpful. While we had absolutely no problems or issues, I am sure that Joan and Micheal would have taken care of anything immediately. Our teenage daughters loved the WiFi and talking to the cows. The on site washer and dryer allowed us to pack way lighter than usual for a week long trip. Huge plus. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

Magical Irish cottage

This is a magical place. In the middle of a working farm with the cows as distant neighbors. Lovely garden to relax and listen to the birds with a glass of wine or cup of tea. The cottage was clean and neat with lovely warm bedding and a touch of modern conveniences in the kitchen and baths. We did day tripping from Adare and most of our excursions were an easy 1 to 1 1/2 hours away. Joan was a delightful hostess and a wonderful artist whos paintings hang in the cottage. The picturesque town of Adare is a couple of miles away with shops and restaurants and pubs to explore. We just loved our stay and will be back.

Outstanding service, Picture Perfect Setting

We probably couldn't have designed a more picture perfect setting to stay. The grounds are kept in beautiful shape, the house is sound and built to exacting standards, and the family is top notch in service. They are simply excellent people. The place is located in Adare, which is a beautiful little village 20 minutes away from Limerick. It had a couple amazing pubs with live entertainment, great food and drink. We also ate at the Blue Door Restaurant which offered amazing food and service. I would advise any American/Canadian visiting to use caution when entering the roadway from the cottage as the hedges are so thick and high, you cannot see whats coming. I had my wife get out of the vehicle and make sure nothing was coming, then quickly jump back in the car to ensure we safely got onto the roadway - that worked well. Over all, we highly recommend!

A magical experience!

My husband and I took both the cottage and the barn for a two-week family get-together. As lovely as they are, the photos on the website do not do justice to the place. The two buildings are located in the middle of a working farm. The gardens are lush and well kept, the interior spaces are beautifully decorated, and the rooms are spacious, with abundant light and comfortable furnishings. We took a number of day trips to amazing spots during our stay, but also found ourselves very content to remain at home, shop for and prepare our meals, and generally revel in the beautiful surroundings.

Outstanding Accommodations

This was our first trip to Ireland and we could not have been more pleased with the cottage and barn. It was a perfect combination of providing us with the look and feel of the traditional Irish cottage and the modern conveniences we have come to expect. Joan and her family were terrific and make the stay an absolute joy for the whole family. I would highly recommend this property to anyone going for a visit to the Emerald Isle.
