This cottage is within driving distance to many points of interest in Southwest Ireland (Limerick, Dingle, Cashel, and many more). The location is safe and very quiet. It's a cozy comfortable place to make your home base. The owner and property manager are very responsive to calls and requests. The kitchen is modern and the washing machine and dryer worked perfectly for us. We stayed here for a week and recommend it to anyone who is visiting the area. The Grange Circle and Lough Gur are a very short distance away. Don't miss them.

Beautiful Curaheen!

We spent four days at this lovely cottage and couldn't have been more pleased. It's very comfortable and well appointed. Very warm and cozy feeling but with plenty of room for larger groups/families. We enjoyed exploring the nearby villages and when we ventured out further, it was a great place to return to !! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Cottage

A warm and inviting house in a quiet neighbourhood with all the great warmth of the Irish countryside. Near to Cities and easy drive to great tourist spots including Ring of Kerry and Cork.. Wonderful place to relax after a day of sight seeing in front of a beautiful fire. Would be great for families and/or friends who are sharing.

Enjoyed our stay in this quiet and peaceful cottage. Successfully accomplished day trips in the surrounding counties; satisfying our desire to see quite a bit of Ireland. Wifi in cottage was greatly appreciated, although being a new addition the coverage was a bit weak st times, though did not pose a problem. Thankful for our stay.

Hi Hilary, I'm glad to hear you found the cottage comfortable while enjoying some day trips. The area is very scenic, and we are within close proximity to so many places of interest, but you do have to drive. The fact that we are so close to everything but away from the hustle and bustle is what we love most about the cottage. After a busy day of sight seeing, what our guests seem to love most is coming back to the tranquility of the cottage. Thanks for choosing the cottage for your stay. Mary

Perfect Irish Home

We had a wonderful time at this home. It was a perfect, cozy, home in a quiet and beautiful setting. Everyone we encountered in town was friendly and helpful. We also received plenty of helpful advice from the owners and property manager. The location was perfect for day trips to the many attractions in the area. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. We hope to come back someday!

Beautifully maintained cottage

Excellent traditional cottage located on the border of County Limerick and County Tipperary. Perfect accommodations for a family trip. Very easy to locate and the home comes equipped with everything you will need for your stay. Maggie the care taker was very accessible and everything was in good working order when we arrived. The owner was very responsive to questions and stayed in contact. If you're looking for a well appointed place to stay in a quiet community I recommend this home.

A lively cottage in rural Ireland

My friends and I enjoyed our stay in Knocklong. The owner is responsive and very helpful. The accommodations are simple yet comfortable . It did turn out to be a bit too rural for our group and we spent more time driving to sites than we would have preferred. But a great taste of Ireland nonetheless .

The cottage was nice and cozy as it had a fireplace with a traditional feel. There are however some issues that need to be fixed ( supposedly waiting for maintenance people to come and fix the problem). It was however addressed with the owner who provided us with a partial credit.

Nice but be aware

The cottage is nice but needs some attention & money put into it Heating didn’t work in 1/2 the place, dryer didn’t work (we were told it’s an ongoing issue) Hot water was scarce for showering. Had to have a fire on to keep warm at night.

So sorry to hear this. I checked with our caretaker and she said she had explained that the thermostats in some of the rooms had been turned off. It's very important to pay good attention to the caretaker's instructions and to read the manual we send out very carefully as we explain how the house works with particular attention to the hot water and heat. We did have alot of trouble with the dryer at that time, and I apologize for that. We tried getting someone to look at it to no avail. We couldn't wait and decided to just replace it so the dryer is brand new.

Lovely Irish Cottage

Lovely Irish cottage. A bit remote but perfect for all day trips allowing you to come back to a home away from home! A few quirks; the kitchen could be upgraded and pots and pans improved. Small things to bring it up to date. A skylight in the upstairs bathroom, which currently has no window, would be a great improvement. Also adding a some basics like extra light bulbs and garbage bin bags. Overall, we had a great time! Thanks Mary and Maggie!!

Cute cottage located in very quiet area of Knocklong. Convenient for day trips we made over 5 day stay to Cliffs of Moher, DOOLIN, Limerick, Ring of Kerry, Killarney and national park, TORC Falls, KENMARE, Adare, Dingle Town and Tralee, Sally Gap, and ended in Dublin for 3 days. Car required. Only one pizza restaurant in village. Mary was helpful in reserving property and Maggie was helpful while at cottage. Did have few issues that need addressing and reported them to Mary.

Lovely place to stay!

My daughter had an Irish Dance competition in Limerick and we were looking for a nice place to stay at for 5 adults and 1 child. For someone who is looking to see a more traditional Ireland, this cottage is perfect. The area is very quiet, with a small village nearby that has a lovely place for an early dinner and a gas station. Very much enjoyed dinner at the Aerlow House and our day trip to Lough Gur, which are both nearby. The cottage was perfect for our needs. With 4 bedrooms and 3 toilets, people had their own space when they wanted it. The central room was perfect for family dinners and the amenities were perfect for our needs. The wifi is a little spotty at times, especially with multiple devices. This is an older, traditional Irish cottage, so you may not have access to the same amenities you may be used to.

Thank you, John, for your kind words. I hope you all enjoyed the Irish Dance competition in Limerick. What a great reason to come visit Ireland. Glad to hear you were also able to visit some sights nearby. We hope you come back again for a longer visit, and if you do I also hope you will stay with us again. There's just so much you can see in day trips from the location of the cottage as it is so central. Enjoy the rest of the summer. Mary

We had such a wonderful 3-night stay at Curraheen Cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage itself is full of charm with the coziest vibes, yet offered more than enough space for our family to spread out. Our older children absolutely loved the upstairs ‘bunk room’ with their own bathroom as it felt like their own private oasis. The kiddos especially loved the yard as it gave them plenty of room to run and play their new Irish bodhran’s while we could relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.The location was another big highlight. We were close to many of the attractions on our list, which made sightseeing easy, yet the cottage was tucked away enough to feel quiet and restful at the end of each day. Having laundry facilities on-site was an absolute lifesaver while traveling light with three kids, it made our trip so much more manageable! We did have a small hiccup at check-in (a VRBO issue, not host) but both the host and caretaker went above and beyond to help us. They were so communicative, quick to respond, and genuinely kind, which made all the difference and set the tone for a wonderful stay.All in all, Curraheen Cottage was the perfect home base for our Ireland adventure, and we’d absolutely stay here again. It’s a gem of a spot for families looking for comfort, convenience, and a true home away from home feel!

Cozy and Welcoming

The cottage was just what we imagined a traditional Irish cottage to look like. From the first glimpse, we knew we were in for a wonderful stay. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable. We had all the comforts of home including a washer and dryer so there wasn’t a mound of laundry to do once we got home. After busy days sightseeing, it was so relaxing to comeback, sit by the fire, and enjoy a class of wine or a pint of Guinness. Any and all questions we had were answered almost immediately by either the owner of Maggie- the terrific caretaker. If you are looking for an authentic feel of an Irish Cottage with modern upgrades, this one is for you!

Nice stay in a house with enough space

Wir haben das Cottage gemietet, um den Südwesten Irlands zu erkunden. Bis Dingle war es etwas weit, aber noch okay. Ansonsten haben wir die umliegenden Dörfer und Wanderwege erkundet. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, Waschmaschine und Trockner vorhanden. Die Betten sind sehr gemütlich und nachts ist es herrlich ruhig. Das Cottage hat zwei Bäder und drei Toiletten, für uns vier war das Luxus pur, wäre aber auch super für größere Familien.
