About this cottage rental

The 'Old House' has been in the family for 500 years but was renovated in 2009 and is in mint condition.
If you like privacy, you will like this. Our detached sunny and spacious cottage is nestled down an old boithrin by a river on its own 4 acres. There aren’t that many of them left.
The house is on the Tipperary Kilkenny board and is only 20 minutes’ drive from Kilkenny city and Kilkenny castle.
Recently renovated, this cottage epitomizes the rustic lifestyles of old Ireland. It has 2 large double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and 2 double loft bedrooms. One of the lofts is enclosed. Sleeps 8 comfortably. Washing machine, dishwasher and free wifi included.
There is a front entrance and back entrance. The courtyard at the back entrance is a sun trap.
If you are interested in experiencing traditional Irish music and pubs, please enquire. We know where all the gigs are.
If you are interested in hiking, fishing or horse riding, it is ideal, but you can also find live theaters, shopping and restaurants within a 10-20 minute drive. The famous Kilkenny arts festival takes place only 20 minutes’ drive away.
If you would like to know what real Ireland is like and how it is lived by the locals you will like this. The local pubs and shops are a 5-minute drive away. It’s the real Ireland.

We LOVED our stay at the Old House. The location was perfect for us to drive into Kilkenny and enjoy many of the smaller surrounding villages. Diane was so great to give us helpful tips about must see/do things in the area. We would definitely come and stay here again!

Diane, We’ve just gotten settled back home and we’re both already missing The Old House and the beautiful country of Ireland. I want to thank you for making things so easy in the planning stages. You understand so well that it’s a big decision to select a home to rent in another country. That said, we felt completely comfortable at every stage and you always responded to emails promptly. The house itself is even better than it shows in the pictures and we were so comfortable there. We loved getting home from a long day of sightseeing and knowing the Old House would be there. My, (Diane), soaks in the big red claw foot tub after a long day were pure bliss. You and your sister have done an amazing job in renovating the house to have the modern conveniences without losing the wonderful history and character of the house. We’re looking forward to seeing pictures of the home before it was renovated. The landscaping and natural setting of the house are beautiful and serene. We enjoyed snooping around the other old buildings on the property and on one beautiful evening I just lay on the grass by the stream and listened to the water and the birds. I loved exploring the old cemetery nearby..so peaceful there. The unexpected bonus was being able to meet you and hear more of the history about the area, your family and the house. You were so much fun and getting to spend the evening with you and your cousin at a hurling match and later at your brother’s pub in Kilkenny was truly a blast for us. Thank you for making us feel a part of your family. Thank you again for an amazing stay. I know we’ll be back and please know you are always welcome in Arizona. All our best, Diane and Paul
