Would highly recommend!

We had a fabulous stay! The cottage was clean, comfortable, and cozy with all the amenities we needed. David and Joan were welcoming and all around great hosts! Jake and Ted became our canine companions, always there to greet us when we returned from a day of exploring. We look forward to another stay at this very special cottage!

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!

David the host was remarkably accommodating. The facility was incredible considering it has several centuries of history. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all the convenieces you could ask for. The property was so quiet, i had to use a white noise machine to break the silence.

The cottage was lovely! Our host, David, was great, he had the wood stove going and a warm plate of brownies for us. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I hope we can stay again! Note: there is shared laundry but the dryer took forever so we wound up not doing as much laundry as we planned.
The grounds are so peaceful, lovely paths to walk each day.
The kitchen was well stocked, we were able to cook several meals.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.
