Lovely cottage, very spacious and comfortably accommodated five. Very clean and tidy and has a lovely patio area to sit outside and enjoy the view. The cottage has been developed keeping a lot of original features. Easy to get to Kilkenny, where there is lots to do and see. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Our second stay at this property and it was great again. The location is beautiful and quiet. A short 10-15 minute walk to the local village (shop, pubs, church, sports field) and a short drive to the motorway and a grocery store and gas station. The cottage is very well kept and well equipped with appliances, wifi, etc. We'll definitely be back again.

Wonderful Country Cottage

Gorman's Cottage was the last property on our tour and it was by far the best! The old stone cottage is very roomy and everything you'd want in a country retreat. The surrounding rural farmland is absolutely beautiful. Donal, the property manager, was very helpful to us when we needed something. A couple of minor drawbacks for us was, there was an iron bit we could not find an ironing board, and neither could Donal. No big deal, really. Another drawback was the narrow roads leading to and from the cottage. For us Americans, it was a white-knuckle experience! But if you live over here, you'll have no problem. All-in-all, we highly recommend Gorman's Cottage for a quiet, relaxing holiday!

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay! I hope you returned home with lots of good memories. Thank you for bringing the lack of an ironing board to our attention. We will make sure to get one for future guests. I agree that driving the narrow country roads in Ireland is quite an adventure! It does get easier with practice. A couple of our guests decided to hire a driver with minivan for their stay. That can be a good solution for those who find country driving difficult. Kudos to you for handling it well!
