About this cottage rental
Greenville Cottage is part of my home, a stone built cottage, dating back to the early 1840s, it was built by my Great Great Great Grandfather Martin Maher. His brother James also resided here, in the house where I live with my husband and our three children. James and his family emigrated in the late 1840s to the United States, settling in Greenville Ohio. The Cottage accommodates four guests, having two bedrooms, the Parlour Bedroom and the Loft Bedroom, and one bathroom, as well as a small but functional kitchen and the living/dining room we call "The Aula" . We are in the process of restoring the old stone walls and developing our garden.
The house has many examples of art, mostly by local artists, photographers and crafts people who are our friends, which guests can enjoy, and the interior design of the cottage is of an exceptional high standard. I live right next door with my husband and three boys - and our two pet dogs who can do a little barking when they want food (and lots of tail wagging!), but they are friendly and welcoming.
We have our own rural country well, so we advise guests to be please be sparing with water use as the cottage is traditionally designed with a small tank, in respect to it's heritage. If there is heavy rain or drought, the water can get discoloured for which we apologise.
restoring the old stone walls and working on improving our flower and kitchen garden.
Old houses with stone walls can be hard to dust to a high standard and can attract the odd harmless spider. There is also the risk with thatch that a mouse from the fields can, very occasionally, get into the house particularly in autumn when temperatures start to drop. This is part of the reality of living in rural Ireland.

We used the cottage as a central location to look at many different places in Ireland.The host was very helpful and welcomed us to the cottage.There were nice places to sit inside and out.I would just like to point out that if you are expecting a hotel or a sterile B&B this is likely not for you.

Our hosts were incredibly helpful, friendly and from the moment we arrived more than happy to pass on information to places to visit in Ireland. The cottage was so welcoming and we loved every moment we had there. Any questions we had were always answered extremely quickly. It was a pleasure to stay in Greenville Cottage, thank you to Denise and Joseph and their three sons, you all aided in our visit to your home and your country .

Absolutely loved our stay at this nearly 200-year-old cottage tucked away in the heart of Ireland. It’s the perfect home base for day trips across the country. we were able to explore so much without ever feeling rushed. The location is peaceful, central, and full of character.One of the best parts was coming back to the cottage and being greeted by the dogs across the gate! Denise and her husband were wonderful hosts, incredibly kind, thoughtful, and a joy to chat with. We had some great conversations and learned so much from both of them.If you’re looking for something more memorable than a standard hotel stay, this is it. Unique, charming, and full of history, we’d absolutely recommend it!

Arriving on a cloudy afternoon after a two hours drive from Dublin airport we instantly fell in love with the cottage as we turned into the yard. Its a bit off the road leading from Roscrea to Templemore but Denise's description made it easy to find.
Soon as we scrambled out of our rental car Denise opened the door and welcomed us with a wide smile and a warm hug. She quickly showed us around the cottage and explained how to handle this and that. Of course there was a warm loaf of her fantastic soda bread along with a lump of butter sitting on the table in front of the warm oven.
The cottage was even more beautiful and unique as the description and the pictures on the homepage promised it to be. There are so many lovingly placed pieces of art and history it leaves you breathless. Though it must be a hell to keep the dust off all of that it was absolutely spotless. The cottage quickly became our home and we loved to get back to it after our day-trips that took us all over the north-western part of ireland.
Situated in the heart of ireland the cottage is the ideal base to go on day trips to explore most of the green isle. Most places are no more than a 2 hour drive away and you can easily be there and back again in a day. During our two weeks stay we never ran out of places to visit, in fact we might have needed another two weeks to cover only the most prominent ones.
Denise and Seosamh are simply amazing hosts. They did their very best to make us feel at home and they did a very good job. They provided us with lots of hints and tips on what to see and how to find it.
We will definetly be back for another great time in irelands rural midst.
