Absolutely adored this place!!! Cozy and warm, sweet touches like a homemade pie on our arrival, umbrella for our use, friendly farm animals, easy and quick communication with the owners. Every detail was seen to. So delightful. The window seat was my morning breakfast perch. Would have loved to stayed longer.

Adorable cottage in Adare

David was a lovely host and this place is adorable! Very nice stay, despite us visiting during the worst storm in a decade (Eowyn) and the entire country losing power. David got us what we needed and the place was great.

Pastoral Paradise

Our stay at the cottage was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. It is a pastoral paradise nestled in the Irish countryside. The cottage is a comfortable well appointed barn conversion that offers authenticity with all of the comforts of home - complete with a homemade apple tart waiting upon arrival. Walking along the paths around the farm provides spectacular views in a quiet and peaceful setting. David and his family are lovely. They are accommodating and respond quickly to all queries. We cannot wait to return!

The most perfect Irish stay

We loved every moment of our stay in the cottage and were sad to leave. David was a wonderful host and welcomed us with a fire in the fireplace and a birthday cake because we were on a birthday trip. The cottage was adorable and comfortable and lacked nothing. We loved the town of Adare, too, and found the area to be perfectly situated for exploring various other locations each day. Our stay here was the perfect introduction to Ireland, and it's easily one of my top 3 rentals ever.

A Peaceful Retreat

The cottage is absolutely lovely, the property beautiful, the host superb! Communication was excellent throughout our stay. I fell and broke my leg on our travels and David was very accommodating and very concerned. Ted and Jake, two pups on the farm, made our stay even more special. Highly, highly recommend a stay here!

Authentic comfortable Cottage

I can't even describe how beautiful this cottage and surrounding area was. Comfortable, old style feel with all the modern amenities. David was a delight to deal with and Adare is beautiful and a five minute drive away - I would recommend this cottage 100 percent. Hopefully we can go back some day.

Family Time in Ireland

We came to visit our son/grandson who is a graduate student at Cork University. He had an itinerary of places he wanted us to see so we spent most of our time away from the house but it was so nice to come back each evening to such a lovely place.

Magical

It was like staying in a storybook. More beautiful than pictures can show…and there’s Irish history in these buildings. You can take long walks around the property, and the town of Adare is a short distance. It’s easy to get groceries etc. We loved it! David and family were delightful, and we fell in love with their little dogs. Hope to be back one day!

Ireland adventure.

We needed two bedrooms with bathrooms ensuite plus a kitchen and separate sitting room. The set up we had was perfect for our two couples. Adare is delightful and well situated for sightseeing with choices of eatries. Our host David was great and so was his mother who came to visit. All in all it was just what we wanted and what we got.

BOOK THIS! 10/10

Picture turning down a private, crushed gravel lane lined with hedges and pastures. Its just you, a cozy stone cottage, gardens and sky set back in the pasture with a forest behind that. Life slows down here. Breathe and let the cutest pair of Corgi pups come up to greet you on this 140 acre working farm. Start a log in the fireplace and have a cup of tea. This place is so secluded, we never touched our door keys the entire time we were in residence. In reality, you're just a few miles to Adare. 18 minutes from Limerick, but to you... you've just stepped through time and gone back to a simplier life long ago. I have stayed at many VRBO properties over the years, and I can honestly say, this is my #1 choice. You will become part of the family once you meet Joan, and son, David. They are attentive, willing to help you navigate how things work in the cottage and in Ireland in general. They're just a call away, or you may see them out and about working the farm. After staying 8 days with my Mother and Daughter in Ireland, and driving through Cork, Limerick, Lahinch, Dingle and Dublin, all three of us agreed on our favorite memory of our time in Ireland. It was enjoying cheese, port, sausage and fruit in the front garden outside the stone barn. How extraordinary! We had kissed the Blarney Stone, done a Dingle ocean safari, walked the Cliffs of Moher, done all the big tours in Dublin, and still - a quiet evening of sipping port outside, soaking up the blue sky view of the stone barn and adjascent thatched house had won the prize. That's the Irish experience we were looking for and found. Thank you, David and Joan for your amazing and much appreciated hospitality! Sandy, Pat & Samantha

A Hidden Jewel

WOW!!! Don't miss the opportunity to stay at this property. Joan, David, and Michael are the ultimate hosts. My husband and I felt very welcome and totally at home. The property is comfortable, clean, delightfully furnished, well stocked and overall perfect. We will be back The location is perfect. It is out of the village but close enough to go into Adare in a couple of minutes. Adare is a beautiful town and is a great location to venture out for day trips. Thanks to Joan, Michael and David for making our stay so special.

Ein Traum von Cottage!

Wir haben das Cottage in Adare zu viert bewohnt und ab der ersten Sekunde waren wir restlos begeistert von der Unterkunft! Ein Traum von Cottage so wie man es sich in Irland vorstellt. Wir wurden mit Kaminfeuer, Tee und Scones herzlich von David empfangen. Man kann sich frei auf dem Hof und den Feldern bewegen, die Rinder besuchen und von den Obstbäumen Äpfel pflücken. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und sauber. Die Küche ist super gut ausgestattet! Wir waren 4 Nächte dort und aufgrund des Regens haben wir einen kompletten Tag "zuhause" verbracht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Unser Highlights waren der Kamin und die gemütlichen Sitznieschen im Fensterrahmen. Perfekt zum Lesen und Entspannen! 😊 100% Weiterempfehlung wen man ein gemütliches Cottage auf dem Land bei einer Kleinstadt sucht.

Fantastic in every way

The property was perfect for us. Everything in the house was as it was shown in the photos and the location was fabulous, so peaceful. On our arrival everything was ready and the host Joan had left us some lovely homemade cupcakes, which were delicious. Both David & Joan couldn’t have been more welcoming. The house is very well equiped, with plenty of crockery and kitchen utensils. Adare village is very close by with a good supermarket and shops. Limerick city is just a short drive and the location is good for day trips to Kerry or Clare. I would definitely recommend.
