About this property

Courtyard Cottage on working organic farm.

Tiny Askeaton is one of the oldest villages in Ireland, tucked between the ruins of Desmond Castle and the Franciscan Friary: the area buzzes with medieval history. Slip through simple iron gates and up a long track to Inchirourke (still a working organic farm) and your converted cow shed. Yasmin and Donagh, whose family have lived here for 400 years, will be there to greet you with an assortment of friendly dogs. Step inside and rusticity is forgotten! Here you find something more akin to a smart Chelsea apartment: white ceramic floors heated underfoot, a high loft ceiling with exposed beams, an open fireplace at one end, and light streaming in through a wall of windows – just lovely. The kitchen is a good and bright place to cook. Bedrooms are at either end of the living room, one with a bath, the other with a tiled wet room; both have antique furniture, great beds and softly patterned Roman blinds at small windows with deep sills. There are 500 acres to wander, woodland for scampering and the river Deel for fishing. You are on a working farm and guests are welcome to join in farm activities such as feeding hens,collecting eggs,rounding up cattle,picking apples and any other farm jobs that arise.

Rural, serene cottage, yet close to Bunratty, Adare and more

This lovely, spacious cottage is tucked away on a beautiful farm. Yet we were close to Adare, Bunratty and more. The host Don was very attentive and helpful, and stocked the fridge with fresh eggs, milk and butter. It was nice to return from our hectic day trips to this peaceful oasis!

Great Stay

We were traveling with our adult children and this cottage was perfect! The location was great - it was very quiet and peaceful. We loved the animals! The cottage is very spacious for 4 adults. It is also convenient to many locations, we spent the day in Adare and also Killarney and the Cliffs of Mohrer. Don is gracious host and we enjoyed the fresh eggs, current and the fresh flowers in the house were beautiful! Would definitely stay again!

Incredibly Quaint Property

We loved our time here, and wish we could have stayed longer. We were in Ireland for a wedding that was in Adare. This property was clean, secluded and we loved that it was an active farm and we could see all the cows moving pastures each day. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay!

beautiful and private farm house

We have stayed at so many VRBO properties and I have to say this is about the best. Donagh, the owner, is just a great guy and the location is superb. This is a working farm and we had a great team meeting the cows and working dogs. The cottage is superbly equipped and very clean. Proximity to so many great attractions is perfect. We loved it. Thanks Don

Quiet and secluded

Very lovely quiet location. Set on a working cattle farm off the beaten path. It lived up to its billing. WIFI was just a bit inconsistent because of the weather but was a minor issue. Host was very very responsive and personable. I would highly recommend it.

A nice slice of the countryside

Lovely 2 night stay at a farm location that suited us and our kids down to the ground, the accomodation was a great space with all the stuff we needed and more. The kids fell in love with the farm dogs and Lenny the Border Collie in particular who saw it as his duty to stand gaurd outside the back door at all times! Good work Lenny and thanks Donagh!

Lovely out-of-way cottage. Four of us were very comfortable. Don went out of his way for us. He was attentive regarding our expected package arrival. Take the advice about the road inseriously. Our rental car did fine, go slow and hug the side of the road.

Our Favorite Cottage

This was our favorite cottage of all the ones we stayed at during our vacation in Ireland. We were welcomed upon our arrival with a kitchen stocked with coffee, tea, fruit, milk, farm eggs, and Irish soda bread and butter. The well-equipped kitchen even had an espresso machine! The cottage had the luxury of two bathrooms, a bonus with the four of us traveling together, and the bedrooms were separated by the living space, which was a bonus for privacy. We loved the location, tucked away in the country but close to town. All in all, we loved our stay here and wished for it fondly after we left. Donagh was a thoughtful host and took good care of us!

Cozy Courtyard Cottage

The Courtyard Cottage was an excellent place for my family to stay during our Ireland vacation. It is located on a beautiful working farm just outside of town. Its location made for easy day trips to visit Blarney, Killarney, Galway, Limerick, and the Aran Islands. The cottage itself was also wonderful; with a bright interior, vaulted ceilings, and multiple large windows. Additionally, we were very appreciative of Donagh's hospitality during our time in Ireland. He was very friendly, flexible, and accommodating. My family stayed during the spring and he invited my daughters to name some of the new calves that were just born. They were so excited! Overall, we could not have asked for a better place to stay during our trip. It was unforgettable!

What a wonderful start to our Ireland trip!

We flew into Shannon and needed a place not too far to learn to drive on the left and to recover from jet lag. This beauty looked perfect and so very Irish! We got lost initially so called Don and he stayed on the phone and talked us through town. He walked us through the house and explained any details. It’s on his farm and is just as described. Lots of tools and needed things in the kitchen. He left us butter and farm eggs in the kitchen. We slept very well, comfortable pillows, beds and sheets. Plenty of hot water. The cows were lovely and just across the road. Very peaceful and quiet. Before we left, he invited us for a cuppa and we sat in his kitchen and learned a bit about his life and family. Lovely man, really a wonderful start to our trip.

Donagh’s farm is magical! His home is comfortable and has everything you need - including a dryer (we’ve stayed at many places in Ireland that listed a dryer but it was a drying rack). We got to know the dogs and some of the cows, and for my kids, this was the best part. The grounds of the estate make you feel like you’re staying in a medieval castle with all the comforts of modern technology. Donagh has fresh eggs in the fridge for us and lots of condiments and supplies that may have been left by previous guests. Donagh was attentive and came over when we had a question and is a great storyteller. We loved chatting with him!We visited Bunratty and Craggaunowen (combo package totally worth it). We also rode horses at Ferguscastle Riding Stables. We highly recommend those too! Wonderful family farm that takes you into the Irish forests and fields of baby sheep on your own horse. What wonderful memories we made at Donagh’s farm!

Liters a hidden gem!

I can’t say enough great things about this vrbo. The house is a converted barn on a working farm and is absolutely modern and adorable. It has everything you would need, and the owner was so thoughtful leaving us some fresh flowers, fruit, and milk for our arrival. He was an excellent communicator and responded timely to any question we had. He lives on property and is available if you want. We really enjoyed chatting with him and learning about his farm. He has 6 adorable and playful dogs that my 23 year old daughter couldn’t get enough of. I highly recommend this property for a true, unique and authentic Irish experience. Just one word of advice… watch out for the long driveway if you have a low riding rental car, the tire ruts are deep and the bottom of our car scraped the ground. Just go slow and ride with one tire on the middle mound.

Die Ausstattung in der Unterkunft ist sehr liebevoll gewählt und mit der Liebe zum Detail. Ein sehr zuvorkommender und sehr freundlicher Gastgeber der sich sofort um jedes Belang gekümmert hat. Wir alle haben die Stille genossen und die tägliche Begrüßung der Hauskatze Skittle. In allem ist die Unterkunft von Donaghs ein absolutes Schmuckstück und sehr zu empfehlen.
