About this property
Ideal Cottage To Explore Ireland's Scenic Southwest For Up To 5 Comfortably
Glenlohane Cottage is a charming country cottage, accommodating up to 5 people (suitable only for children over 12 please). Originally built in the 1600's, and continuously updated, the cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. There are separate dining and living rooms and a fully equipped kitchen.
*MINIMUM 500 EURO FOR ANY STAY
As a part of the 250 acre Glenlohane Estate, we have extensive walking and hiking opportunities on this established game sanctuary. Though it has been here for centuries, this charming cottage retains many of its original features but it is now fully updated for modern comfort.
The cottage is wheelchair accessible as well.
You will enjoy the protected south facing flagstone terrace for dining al fresco, and the serene views of fields and woodlands.
The town of Kanturk is only two miles away and offers a variety of shops, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, coffee shops and petrol stations.
There are beds for 5 people (suitable only for children over 12 please) and there is ample off road parking.
Guests are always welcome to call on Desmond, Melanie and Gordon at the main residence just up the road. Depending on the time of year and day, you may wish to try your luck against the family in a game of croquet. We are also available to guide and inform you on the multitude of sights and experiences nearby.
WE WILL ASK YOU FOR A REFUNDABLE DAMAGE DEPOSIT WHEN YOU GET HERE.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Desmond, Melanie or Gordon Sharp-Bolster

This cottage pre-dates my family who built Glenlohane (the main house) in 1741. I came over from America to run the farm as the 10th generation family member to reside here. This is a great shot of my folks sitting out in front of the main house on a warm summer's day.
Why they chose this property
If Ralph Lauren wanted a nice escape from which to see the scenic south-west of Ireland - be it to relax, for a romantic weekend or certainly for day trips and site-seeing, this would be it. Most cottages today are purpose built and lack history. Ours and our family are steeped in it - and you will be as well.
What makes this property unique
Irish history with American comforts. Part of the Glenlohane Estate - croquet anyone? Very comfortable. The best location from which to base your adventure.
