About this property

Traditional Irish Cottage in the Heart of The Golden Vale

Rent this cottage as your home base while touring Central and Southern Ireland or for a restful getaway in a typical Irish village. Great for families or couples traveling together. Knocklong, Co. Limerick on the Limerick, Cork and Tipperary borders, is a one-hour drive from Shannon Airport. Charming home built in the traditional style, yet fully modernized and recently updated. Located in a cul-de-sac with ample parking, garden, walled in private yard with patio. Perfectly situated for day trips to historic and popular sites such as Adare, Glen of Aherlow, Rock of Cashel, Kilkenny, Waterford, Blarney, Kinsale, Mitchelstown Caves, and many others. Come home to relax by the turf fire in a spacious and comfortable great room perfect for impromptu music and dance sessions. Fully equipped kitchen for cooking at home when desired. Golf, fishing and equestrian centers in nearby towns. Knocklong is the home of the Skarteen Hunt Club.
**Please note that of the 3 bathrooms, 2 are full baths (one with shower stall and the other with walk-in shower with pull-down seat) and one is a half bath (with sink and toilet).
***Please also note that bedroom #4 is small with bunk beds that are narrow and best suited for children. So while technically there are 4 bedrooms, the cottage is most comfortable with max 6 adults and possibly two children in the bunk bedded room, but we do not recommend 8 adults..
******We ask that you please leave the cottage in the same condition you found it in*****

Traditional style property on edge of village
Comfortable accommodation, suitable for family group. All facilities one would expect, except dishwasher. Several scenic areas/places of interest within reach fir day or half-day trips but you have to be prepared to drive.

Beautiful cottage lovely excellent location
We just spent a week in this lovely cottage, the photos don’t really do it justice. It’s spacious and the main room with the high ceilings and open fire made it very inviting. There was plenty of room to have family for a cup of tea and a great chat. There were only two of us at the cottage my Mum and I but it was well worth it. It’s beautiful safe place in a lovely village. Must just say Maggie the house keeper is really sublime she’s there if you need anything and super helpful. I would not hesitate to come back. We are lucky enough to have lots of family around so there is always lovely places to visit. However the Knocklong festival was on the whole week and had great events every day which was nice to see local history. Heartily recommend the Magnet bar for local homely food at great value in a friendly atmosphere ate here several times made to feel very welcome. Also Gallahues in Ballylanders does great meals. Definitely come back !

Cozy Stay
The cottage was nice and cozy as it had a fireplace with a traditional feel. There are however some issues that need to be fixed ( supposedly waiting for maintenance people to come and fix the problem). It was however addressed with the owner who provided us with a partial credit.
