About this property

Secluded, Private Cottage on 4 Acres by a River

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.

Lovely country cottage

Beautiful place, comfortable beds, plenty of parking. We had problems at other places trying to park 2 cars. So nice that the other couple didn't have to wake up early to move their car . We had 2 couples and our daughter in our group. There was plenty of room for all of us. We would stay again thank you Diane!

Lovely Farmhouse

We loved the old farmhouse and the area. It was the perfect house for our family of four adults. The house was quite spacious. The house was a little isolated, you could not walk down to the pub, but there were several small towns within a 20 minute drive that had everything we needed, and the bakery less than 5 minutes away was fantastic. Diane was very helpful.

A truly magnificent experience!

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!

Big cottage with a beautiful garden in a tranquil area

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.

Keep the Secret Safe

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!

Irish Perfection in Tipperary

Diane Lanigan and her sister Breda and her brothers Richie and P.J. could not have done more for us to make us comfortable and at ease. They provided us with every amenity imaginable and with so much good will and care that we felt like royalty. We have decided that we should love to return another time to enjoy this wonderful "Old House" and its loving owners. The location serves many beautiful sights and historic places within easy driving distance.

Ninemilehouse, the perfect house/location; highly recommended

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

We LOVED our stay at the Old House. The location was perfect for us to drive into Kilkenny and enjoy many of the smaller surrounding villages. Diane was so great to give us helpful tips about must see/do things in the area. We would definitely come and stay here again!

Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Ein wunderschönes Cottage mit allem drum und dran. Auch für Familien mit älteren Kindern geeignet, da es genug Rückzugsräume gibt. Ansonsten: Tür auf und das Gras genießen, das in Irland viel grüner ist als bei uns :)

Perfect for the kids and the dog

We were delighted with our stay at The Old House. So handy for Kilkenny, Waterford etc. but also secluded enough to really get away from it all. The property has so much space I think our dog had the best holiday of all! Would highly recommend.

Mitten in Irland

Toll restauriertes altes Bauernhaus mit umliegenden Stallungen, etc. Geräumig, gut ausgestattet, ein wenig mehr Geschirr wäre hilfreich, sonst ist die Spülmaschine im Dauerbetrieb. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieterin. Auto zwingend erforderlich, auch für alltägliche Einkäufe, nächste Supermärkte ( Aldi, Super Valu) in Canan ca. 15 km Ausflüge im Südwesten Irlands gut möglich. Waren in Kikenny, Cashel, Dublin, Wiklow Mountains, Waterford, an der Küste, Cork, Tipperary, ...)

Charming Rural Ireland At Its Best

We have just enjoyed a long weekend at this property - it is located in very rural Tipperary - but equidistant from a number of lovely sites - the Rock of Cashel, Cahir Castle etc. The property is part of an old farm and located in a charming courtyard with a generous garden flanked by a stream. We loved it.

The old house has been in the family for 500 years. We recently renovated it. I lived in the house for the past 2 years. I just got a job in London and so I had to move. The area is very local and you will meet local people if that is what you want. If you want to be alone you can do that too. Its real Ireland
