Fairytale cottage in Doon
Our stay exceeded all expectations. Tom, the owner could not of been any nicer or helpful. The cottage was well stocked. Food markets in Tipperary were close and convenient. The cottage and garden are stunning. We highly recommend staying in the cottage if you are looking for a fairytale. When we first arrived the cottage was hard to find at night, but a quick call and Tom was out with a flashlight to guide us in. What a great host.

Beautiful Doon!!
Tom is really the definition of a “Super Host”! His ancestral cottage is just beautiful! Totally loaded with any equipment you may need, and it sits on a large land with gorgeous flowers. It is quiet, in a rural setting nearby a church making it easy to find. It was perfect for me to access main roads for all my day trips… I will be back again in this lovely area and Tom’s cottage will be again my home away from home! Go raibh maith agat! Marie, USA

We had a wonderful time at Cooga Cottage. Tom is the ultimate host. The Cottage is the best provisioned vacation rental we have ever stayed in. It is well kept and quaintly furnished. A true Irish feel to it. Tom is personable and super friendly yet maintains a professional relationship at all times. We highly recommend Cooga Cottage!!

Fabulous
It's a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting. The garden is amazing. It's very well equipped and Tom is such a helpful gentleman. We really enjoyed our stay and Tom laid on some of the finest weather we have ever had anywhere on holiday. It's really central to lots of places so we enjoyed days out in Waterford and Limerick, Bunratty and had an overnighter to Galway and Clare, particularly Doolin and The Cliffs of Moher. If you get chance visit Coole Park at Gort. Had the weather been less good we might have done more but sitting in the sun, in the garden, was good enough. Thanks, Tom.

What a great classic Irish experience! Highly recommend a stay here at Cooga Cottage!
Tom was a gracious host! He was attentive, polite and genuine in his interactions with us! This was our first trip to Ireland and Tom made us feel welcome and part of his family. The cottage is adorable and quaint with all the simple amenities that help to make our experience wonderful! We recommend renting from Tom and give highest marks on his welcoming demeanor and overall hospitality...Slainte!

FANTASTIC
we arrived after a pleasant drive from Dublin to find Cooga Cottage was exactly as depicted in the listing on HomeAway. Tom Keogh was there to greet us and introduce us to his cottage and to tell us about the homes history in his family. Tom has ensued that everything is supplied to make this a home away from home and the only regret we had was when the time came for us to leave and continue our travels. A great pleasure to meet you Tom and we have already told our friends and our travel agent about your lovely Cooga Cottage David & Bev O'Sullivan Brisbane, Australia

LIke home away from home, only better!
We spent a blissful 7 days at Cooga Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a special place. Thomas, our host and owner of the cottage, was gracious and welcoming. The cottage is spacious, very well appointed and immaculate, and has virtually everything anyone might need. Travel books and novels line the walls of the den, all three bedrooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable, even the bathroom is stocked with an amazing array of toiletries. Satellite TV and Wi-Fi worked very well and without any glitches. All the credit goes to Thomas, who obviously has made it a top priority that his guests have an outstanding experience during their stay at his cottage. Doon is a small, quiet town filled with and surrounded by farms and pastures. Yet it is only a 30 minute drive to downtown Limerick, with its shops, restaurants and bustling streets. We had no difficulty using the cottage as our base for day trips to Kilkenney, KIllarney, Lough Gur (very close), Limerick, the Cliffs and much more. Even Galway was an easy drive under 2 hours. This was our first trip to Ireland and we had an absolutely wonderful time. Thank you, Thomas, for allowing us to spend a week in your family's cottage - we enjoyed it immensely and hope to be back again in the future.

Thoroughly Delightful
Cooga Cottage is a perfect, relaxing vacation destination. My sister and I stayed here during the Spring and although we did not have a car we were perfectly happy to relax and enjoy Doon. If you wish to sightsee, you will need a car as the town of Doon has only a couple small grocery stores, some pubs, and a church. Everyone we met in the town was kind, helpful, and welcoming. My sister and I especially enjoyed Anne's grocery store where everyone was polite and friendly and we could buy fresh scones. The cottage itself was a complete joy to stay at as it is: - equipt with every comfort and convenience possible (and more) including a spacious bathroom, complimentary shampoo and conditioner, multiple hair dryers, excellent quality appliances including a dishwasher, well equipt kitchen, plush furniture and bedrooms, sewing kit, vacuum cleaner, and tea. - Upon arriving the cottage was clean and Tom was welcoming and had supplied chocolate treats, milk for tea, and a bouquet of daffodils from the gorgeous and meticulously kept yard (for summer visitors, the yard has fruit trees). He also gave us a tour and told us the history of the cottage, which deepened our appreciation for it. - Tom went out of his way to help in anyway possible, had labeled where things go, and had an in-depth guest book which included grocery store hours, bus schedules, emergency contacts, instructions about the trash, compost, and recycling, etc. - The price was a great deal and Tom was fair and generous with the cost of utilities. - The cottage is obviously well-cared for and its beautiful and cozy decorations make it truly feel like a home away from home. Our time at Cooga Cottage was a complete joy and we highly recommend it to any traveler who values relaxation and comfort.

Cozy cottage we fell in love with
Tom was the perfect landlord. A warm welcome, he explained us everything we needed. A beautiful cozy cottage in a small village, calm and peaceful. We really enjoyed it and it was the perfect start for all our tours to Killarney, Cork, limerick, Cliffs of Moher, Galway and so on. Bigger supermarkets are ca. 20min away, small express markets are close so a car is always needed. The cottage has the perfect size for a family with 2 children ( not too young because of high angled stairs). Thanks Tom for our first beautiful days in Ireland. We hope to come back one day.
