Peace and tranquility

Spent 3 nights at the cottage. Great facilities in a beautiful setting. You coukd easily spend a couple of days here without leaving although there is so much to see within a short drive of the cottage. We had a lovely time and would definitely return again.

Amazing rural getaway

This cottage is in the middle of a forest which is surrounded by a sheep pasture. You can also take the opportunity to walk around outside of Templehouse and the ruined knights templar castle that is on the property there. It was a unique and wonderful experience that I would highly recommend!

The gardeners cottage review

We enjoyed our time at the gardeners cottage. It was roomy, inviting and had plenty of hot water and a quiet setting. The owners were amazing and gave us a tour of their castle and access to walk their grounds and see two other old ruins on their property. The only thing we would suggest is to have fans in the bedrooms as the week we stayed was one of Ireland’s hottest. You’ll enjoy it!
