Image of Truly authentic Walled Garden Cottage.

Superb character walled garden cottage in glorious location.

We had over two weeks in this delightful cottage set in magnificent grounds and were very sad to leave. The walled garden is superb and was the source of our glorious flower arrangements and fruit and vegetables. The walks and access to Lough Derg were wonderful and the local village is not far away where there is a great Irish pub. The hosts were lovely and very helpful in all aspects. It is very central to explore Tipperary, Galway, Clare and other areas. We dearly hope to be back one day.
