This beautiful house is in a serene countryside setting and has room for 6 comfortably. Great hosts provided all the fixings for a traditional do-it-yourself Irish breakfast. The house is huge with 3 stories to stretch out in, a large kitchen and dining area and space outside to wander! Loved it!

Stunning house in a gorgeous setting!
Myself and a group of friends stayed in Mount Coggill for a weekend and such a lovely time. We were met by Felicia and Roland who are great hosts and gave us a tour of the house. The house is stunning. It is a mixture of vast spaces with enormous windows giving beautiful views of the surrounding countryside mixed with cosy little areas perfect for curling up with a book and a glass of wine. The bedrooms are all spacious and very comfortable. Downstairs there is a bathrooms and a toilet with the upstairs offering another larger bathroom with an enormous double shower. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need and Felicia and Roland had left everything we needed for a tasty breakfast in the fridge.
All in all I couldn't recommend Mount Coggill enough for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the country. 5 stars!

Thank you for your comments and it's really nice when people enjoy the house and surroundings. Come again !
What an amazing place, a one off gem in the heart of rural Kilkenny. Nothing to hear only the chirping of birds and sheep around. The house was the perfect place to catch up with friends around a beautiful candlelit table in the evening. Felicia and Roland were friendly and very helpful. The kitchen was very well stocked with every mod con, even ice was in the fridge!! Would highly recommend and hope to return again sometime.
Amazing gem in Kilkenny, beautiful house, stunning location.

Fantastic property and great hosts!
The house is amazing and the pictures don’t do it justice at all. It is very unique and so spacious with lots of areas to relax and outdoor space. Felicia and Roland were wonderful hosts who were very responsive to our messages and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Their dogs are also very cute. We would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful quirky house in the country
My husband and I traveled to Ireland with our 2 adult son's and spouses. We arrived at Mount Coggill and were greeted by Felicia who was very warm and welcoming. The drive to the house was magical, with foliage covered walls and beautiful scenery. The home was well equipped and very spacious for everyone to have their own space. The yard and patio table were perfect for a nice BBQ. We all loved the home very much and would have loved to have stayed longer. Thank you for sharing your home with us Felicia!

About the host
Hosted by Felicia Hulme-Beaman
Mount Coggill was rebuilt in 1999-2002 by two musicians. The main barn building was intended as a performance space. We lived in it for 3 years before we ‘interfered’ with it as it is such a beautiful building. And so the upstairs, which was one big performance space, is now divided into two good sized double bedrooms and a further floor or mezzanine is above these two rooms. It still leaves a spacious balcony area to sit and relax. We were very careful to carry out our alterations to blend into the existing building. Helen Dillon helped us to develop the garden. She advised us to create the patio and decking area outside the kitchen to bring the house more out to the garden. She was very keen not to change too much and to keep the wildness of the surrounding grassed areas and flower beds. At the very end of the house is a large room which was built by the previous owners as a recording studio. This we have made into a separate, self-contained dwelling for ourselves and so we are on hand for any queries or help that may be required. Mount Coggill is situated on the Kilkenny Carlow boarder and quite close to Wicklow. All these counties are renowned for scenery, river and hill walks, their art and crafts with world famous festivals in many fields. We enjoy all of these amenities and we can offer information to those staying at Mount Coggill.
Why they chose this property
Mount Coggill is a very unusual and beautiful house. It is included in Grand Designs (Trade Secrets section). It is a house where people just want to sit and relax and enjoy the beauty of the house and the surrounding scenery. Nearby are the picturesque small towns of Graiguenamanagh and Borris with the beautiful River Barrow. The historic Borris House is the seat of the descendants of the Kings of Leinster. Also in Borris is the award winning restaurant and hotel - The Step House. Mount Coggill is convenient for New Ross, Kilkenny, Carlow, Thomastown, Inistioge and many other local places of interest.
What makes this property unique
The house is a most relaxing space to be in. It lends itself, particularly, to groups of people as there are 5 areas in which people can sit together or sit alone to read or listen to music and yet still be in company. It is a very secluded and private house, off the beaten track. But within 30 minutes, you can be in Kilkenny City with its medieval buildings, National Craft Gallery, theatre, cinema, and a choice of good restaurants. Carlow Town with its Saturday Farmers Market, New Ross and the Dunbrody Famine Ship, JFK Homestead and Arboretum and Ros Tapestries and the Hook Peninsula with sandy beaches for swimming.
