Our favorite location in Ireland BY FAR. Already planning to stay here again if/when we return to Ireland. Our kids loved the dogs and cattle, my husband and I loved the authenticity of the cottage, the high water pressure in the shower, and the quiet location.

Amazing!!

Our stay at the cottage exceeded anything we could have imagined. David, Joan and Mike were the most gracious hosts, checking on us several times to see how we were getting on. The grounds are gorgeous and so well maintained. The cottage is beautiful and storybook like. The cows grazing in the pasture was an added bonus!

Relaxing and peaceful

David was a wonderful host! And the cottage was just what we were lookling for - quiet, quaint, authentic, but with some modern amenities. Close enough to town for groceries and restaurants/pubs, but far enough away to allow for peaceful evenings at home when we wanted. Would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Lovely 300 year old cottage with modern amenities. VERY quiet, set back far off the road surrounded by farm fields. One can imagine what life was like many generations ago. David, the host, is very personable and friendly. The village of Adare is just 10 minutes away. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would definitely return.

Amazing! A true hidden gem. Our family loved staying at the thatch cottage which was clean, comfortable, and great place to reset after a long day of sightseeing. David was extremely helpful. My teens loved hanging out with Jake and Ted who welcomed us back to the cottage daily. We didn’t want our stay to end and will definitely return.

Magical!

The grounds are breathtaking. The host and their two dogs were wonderful. This is a very old cottage and needs some updating like new furniture and mattresses. The beds are not comfortable, but our stay was magical! The area, the garden and the people made this a wonderful family vacation that we will remember forever!

The Thatched Irish exceded our expectations. If one wants to experience a true rural Irish holiday stay here.David,the host,was most attentive and made us truly welcome.If you are an animal lover you will get a lot of enjoyment because you are staying at a working cattle farm.One will need a car even though Adare is a short drive. Walking by the road is not an option.I have stayed at many VRBO rentals and if the you like historical charm and warmth ,choose the Thatched cottage.

What a magical place. I almost don’t want to leave a review so it stays a secret. David and his family were beyond welcoming. The grounds are lush and well maintained. And the dogs…my goodness the sweetest ever!!! My friend and I didn’t want to leave. The only issue I had was that I’m 6ft and I bonked my head several times on the 300 yr old doorway into the kitchen. So, mind your head!

Absolutely perfect lodging for our trip to Ireland

We spent 5 nights at the thatched cottage to use as a home base for day trips to Southern Ireland. It was like stepping back in time but with modern conveniences!! The large farm was peaceful and so much fun to explore. The property was close to Adare for stores and restaurants but yet so private. We did love being visited very day by the two dogs!! Lastly, David was so responsive, helpful and a pleasure to handle everything during the rental. We highly recommend this property.

Charming cottage in pastoral setting

Accessed by a rural lane, the traditional thatched-roof cottage where we stayed near Adare is full of authenticity and charm, and surrounded by a cottage garden with a sunny terrace, roses and arbors. We took walks along the farm lanes, carpeted with daisies and bordered with white flowering hawthorn hedges and cow parsley, Quite idyllic, and well situated for visiting ancient stone circles, ruined priories, and the bustling historic town of Adare. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. We had a wonderful time!

Wonderful stay

Our stay at the cottage was a real delight. The farm atmosphere was a great change from town life. The cottage is located near Adare in County Limerick, so a trip to town was just minutes away. The area is beautiful and there are many pubs, restaurants, and attractions. We will definitely stay again if we come back this way
