Wonderful Cottage!! The pictures do not do the cottage justice. It is a beautiful cozy place. We stayed 3 nights and fell in love with the place. If I am back in the area I will definitely book this house again. There is a convenient EveryDay store that is a quick drive, or walk to town that carries all the basic stables you will need for a few nights. The Woodstock Arms pub is a must stop in town for a pint. Over all had a great stay.

Amazing home that, as said before in other reviews, is even better in person. LOVED the renovated stone barn, LOVED our hosts, LOVED the heated beds, LOVED the tub, LOVED the resident kitty that came to visit. Be aware, that you will be cozy if you know how to build and maintain a wood stove. Otherwise, this may not be the fall/winter destination for you. Not immediately close to many amenities (food/shopping) but not far either. (by U.S. standards)

Friendly knowledgeable hosts, excellent house in a quiet village near the great historic sites and hikes of the area. If you are looking for a place in the Irish countryside to unwind that’s still close to everything, this home in Inistioge is a great choice.

Pictures do not do the coach house justice. This place is AMAZING!!! It is so magical! Loved the stone walls, the fireplace, everything about it!! Check-in was super easy. The house had everything we needed. Dishes and pots and pans were all great. We had a minor problem and Margaret was quick with her response and solved our user error problem. We visited the Woodstock gardens, jerpoint Abbey, kells priory, and jerpoint glass blowing studio. We would highly recommend all of them! The coach house was fantastic and we would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful location!

What a beautiful place, lovely homeowners (Maggie and Mark), and peaceful stay! The home itself has everything you need-well equipped…not to mention the plethora of books to read! This was convenient as a pivot point to other site seeing options and nice enough to want to stay in. Thank you for sharing your beautiful oasis!!!

Home Away From Home

Mark and Margaret’s coach house was ideal for us. We instantly fell in love with all of its charms. It’s located perfectly to create a home base and welcomed us comfortably after long days of exploring. Inistioge is a gorgeous location. If you’re looking for a long weekend with quietly stunning scenery or a home away from home, this is where you need to stay

Comfort and history

Margaret and Mark were so welcoming and we had a couple of lovely chats about the history of the Coach House and the restoration efforts. They were helpful with recommending sites to visit and things to do. The accommodations were so comfortable and very well-appointed. Just such a great place to relax and recharge. We'd definitely stay there again!

The most charming cozy cottage!

The coach house is the coziest cottage with a gorgeous view of their forested property, especially from the lens of their “greenhouse foyer”. Walking distance the most beautiful little village of Inistioge where everyone was so hospitable and the views were breathtaking. The owners are entirely the most lovely people to chat with ever, and the Epitome of hospitality and kindness. I would absolutely book another stay with them, but for much longer next time.

Beautiful coach house with lots of history and charm!

Loved staying here! Mark and Fran were sweet hosts. Home was only 20 min. from New Ross which was a sweet little town. My only suggestion would be if they could store a bit more basic supplies (toilet paper, towels, maybe coffee and sugar) so that for a couple night stay we're not having to go out and shop for little things like that. Other than that it was completely gorgeous and enjoyable!!
