About this property

Irish Thatched cottage. Escape to a piece of living history on a country farm

  • A private rural get away for relaxing or a quiet work space. This Irish thatched cottage is just 1 hour from cork, 30 mins limerick. Relax in a 400yr old traditional thatched home that has been carefully restored from a derelict state with modern luxuries, set on a private farm only 15mins to M8, the cottage consists of 1 Double bedroom on ground level with full en-suite bathroom, separate dining room,TV room, wood stove, full kitchen, and work area. A second double room in the loft bedroom has a king size bed but is accessible only by a steep stairs and not suitable for those with limited mobility. The loft is cosy with a low ceiling by its nature. There is a separate shower and toliet on the ground floor. The viillage of Knocklong is 2 km.

    Hike in the Galtee mountains, visit Lough Gur or relax at the farm. Ideally located to explore Munster - Walking, hiking, castles, rugby, visit the famous rock of Cashel,, travelling by car in just over an hour you can visit Killarney, Kinsale, kiss the Blarney Stone at blarney castle , a little further are the stunning cliffs of moher, the king of kerry and much more. However you could simply curl up in this beautifully restored thatched cottage with modern amenities and enjoy the wood burning stove while soaking up the peaceful surroundings. Private, rural and quiet, a truly unique piece of Irish heritage. While the cottage has underfloor heating throughout the wood burning stove is needed during colder spells of weather. Timber available on site. Not child proofed. A car is essential at this property.
