About this property

Traditional Irish Cottage in the Heart of The Golden Vale

Rent this cottage as your home base while touring Central and Southern Ireland or for a restful getaway in a typical Irish village. Great for families or couples traveling together. Knocklong, Co. Limerick on the Limerick, Cork and Tipperary borders, is a one-hour drive from Shannon Airport. Charming home built in the traditional style, yet fully modernized and recently updated. Located in a cul-de-sac with ample parking, garden, walled in private yard with patio. Perfectly situated for day trips to historic and popular sites such as Adare, Glen of Aherlow, Rock of Cashel, Kilkenny, Waterford, Blarney, Kinsale, Mitchelstown Caves, and many others. Come home to relax by the turf fire in a spacious and comfortable great room perfect for impromptu music and dance sessions. Fully equipped kitchen for cooking at home when desired. Golf, fishing and equestrian centers in nearby towns. Knocklong is the home of the Skarteen Hunt Club.
**Please note that of the 3 bathrooms, 2 are full baths (one with shower stall and the other with walk-in shower with pull-down seat) and one is a half bath (with sink and toilet).
***Please also note that bedroom #4 is small with bunk beds that are narrow and best suited for children. So while technically there are 4 bedrooms, the cottage is most comfortable with max 6 adults and possibly two children in the bunk bedded room, but we do not recommend 8 adults..
******We ask that you please leave the cottage in the same condition you found it in*****

Cozy Stay

The cottage was nice and cozy as it had a fireplace with a traditional feel. There are however some issues that need to be fixed ( supposedly waiting for maintenance people to come and fix the problem). It was however addressed with the owner who provided us with a partial credit.

Peaceful & quiet

Enjoyed our stay in this quiet and peaceful cottage. Successfully accomplished day trips in the surrounding counties; satisfying our desire to see quite a bit of Ireland. Wifi in cottage was greatly appreciated, although being a new addition the coverage was a bit weak st times, though did not pose a problem. Thankful for our stay.
