Historic Thatched Cottage Getaway in Kilkenny
The entire property, including The Thatch and The Shed, is available for guests, offering a private escape in the Irish countryside. The fully fenced property ensures complete privacy. Enjoy the charm of a 17th-century thatched cottage and a modern shed with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and equipped kitchens. Surrounded by farmland and local wildlife, this retreat offers a taste of rural Ireland, just a short drive from Kilkenny City.
Location
Escape to the serene countryside of County Kilkenny, where our unique property offers unparalleled privacy and tranquility. Situated on a quiet road with only three houses spaced far apart, our location guarantees a secluded retreat.
Occupying an acre of land, the estate includes two distinct homes, "The Thatch" and "The Shed," each contributing to the charm of this rural getaway. The surrounding farmland paints a picturesque scene, with frequent sightings of cows and other wildlife adding to the rural charm. Here, you're invited to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in a peaceful, pastoral world where the only sounds are those of nature. This setting is not just a place to stay, but a tranquil haven to rejuvenate and enjoy the simplicity and beauty of the Irish countryside.
This setting is more than just a place to stay; it's a perfect balance of rural tranquility and convenient city access. Located just 15-20 minutes from the vibrant heart of Kilkenny City, our location offers the best of both worlds. You can immerse yourself in the simplicity and beauty of the Irish countryside, yet easily venture into the city to enjoy its excellent restaurants, charming shops, arts and music festivals and lively nightlife. Whether you're in the mood for a quiet day surrounded by nature or an exciting evening exploring urban delights, our property provides the ideal starting point for all your adventures.
"The Thatch"
Step back in time with a stay in "The Thatch," a quaint thatched-roof cottage originally built in the 1600s, tastefully updated to offer a blend of historical charm and modern convenience. This cozy home features one bedroom and two full bathrooms, providing comfortable accommodations for your stay.
The full kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials you need for cooking, from basic ingredients to culinary tools, making it easy to prepare meals just the way you like. In the common area, unwind with a show on the TV, or use the provided cot for additional sleeping space. This space also includes a dedicated dining area, perfect for enjoying home-cooked meals in a warm, inviting setting.
"The Thatch" is more than just a place to stay—it's a slice of history, wrapped in comfort and nestled in the tranquil Irish countryside.
"The Shed"
Enjoy modern comfort in "The Shed," a newly renovated home that combines sleek design with practical living spaces. This home features one bedroom equipped with a unique loft area, where you’ll find two additional beds - a large one suitable for two adults and a smaller one, perfect for a child. For extra sleeping arrangements, the common area includes a convenient pull-out couch, making this space ideal for families or groups.
The common area isn't just for sleeping; it also boasts a TV for entertainment and a kitchen, providing everything you need for meal preparation and dining. With one full bathroom, the layout is designed for ease of use and comfort, ensuring that all guests feel right at home.
