Beautiful renovated old world cottage with open fireplace set amongst the most beautiful heritage gardens. Lots of extras provided including cheese board wine and full breakfast produce. Isolated and peaceful setting but close to town and facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay.

We had a fabulous two days of rest in the cottage. Strolled through the beautiful gardens, went to nearby pub for dinner and enjoyed an open fire- hard to come by these days. This all probably makes us sound like old folks but we’re just two hard working fifty somethings who don’t know how to stop and relax. This did the trick. Loved seeing the history and restoration of the cottage in the photo album. Thank you.

This little cottage became the perfect base for a two-night 'just because' trip to Clare. We were able to take our dog with us which was a massive plus. The cottage was spick and span, very well provisioned, and access to the gardens was a bonus even though we were 'out of season' for the roses etc. We'd definitely love to return. The only thing that caught us out was the lack of an oven/grill, but that was more us not checking the description properly ourselves. It was no real problem in the end.

This little cottage was straight out of a Fairy Story. Stone walls with climbing roses adorning. Furniture and features authentically curated. A welcoming cheese platter and local wine. Comfy bed and a friendly local puppy. We had to unfortunately shorten our stay but hopefully will return.

The perfect break in a stunning garden. Anticipated our every need with wonderful food and welcoming wine. Easy layout and charming features suited us (and the dog). We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stop and smell the roses, literally!
