Beautiful Banagher
We really enjoyed the peaceful location of Chestnut Cottage, the only alarm calls we had were the birds! My husband and I stayed with our adult daughter and her boyfriend and had all the space we needed with the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a very large living/kitchen area. Marian had scones and jam waiting for us as well as a fridge stocked with the essentials which was greatly appreciated as we didn't arrive until close to 11pm. Another lovely touch was the cut roses from her beautiful garden waiting on the table to greet us. While the cottage is a little out of the town of Banagher it is a very short drive and centrally located to so many interesting places to visit. It seemed like most places on our list were a 2 hour drive away! We would definitely stay with Marian at Chestnut Cottage if we are visiting the midlands again.

Relaxing and quaint cottage
We rented for 33 days. It was centrally located in the middle of Ireland so we could do day excursions and some overnights as well. The rate was more than reasonable. It was located in a very remote location, but that aided us in our relaxation. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful since they lived right next door. I highly recommend this rental.

Emerald Isle Introduction
We chose this property primarily because it was centrally located to serve as a "hub" for our stay which involved day trips to different regions of Ireland with our rental vehicle and it worked out perfectly. It is a quaint, typical irish, cottage in a country rural setting.

Short Break
We were greeted by Marian upon our arrival who the showed my wife around the cottage. Although we hardly saw the hosts we were made to feel extremely welcome and that nothing would of been to much trouble for them. The home made scones were delicious.

loved the location. Got to watch the stears on our back patio! The house had 4 bedrooms and 2 baths that fit our family well. The one shower was a little week, but the main bathroom, was nice. The stove worked well for our meals. The hosts were very nice.

Cute, Cozy, Quirky, Quiet and Comfortable!
We wanted a cute little cottage in the centre of the RI, away from the city, to use as our hub to explore, and that is exactly what we got. The Chestnut Cottage is cute, cozy, quirky, quiet and comfortable and right in heart of the country. Marian and John are wonderful hosts and Buddy will welcome you with his charming "banter" when you pull in the driveway. The cottage has all the basics you need and it is only a few minutes to town to pick up anything else you might require (groceries, etc). There are little shops, pubs, cafe's and restaurants within a short drive and the river Shannon is right at your doorstep too. The wifi was spotty but Marian went out of her way (replaced the repeater/booster) to make sure we could stay connected with those we left at home in Canada. We had a great time staying here. Thank you making our stay a happy memory.

Chestnut cottage lushmagh
Enjoyed the the cottage and gardens very much , hosts Marian and John were available and congenial, willing to help in every way. Our youngest daughter found a true friend in Buddy the dog. We will hopefully return to the larger house only because of the size of our group . Loved Banaher with live traditional music and excellelent pubs. Enjoyed visiting family in Tippearary and sorounding.area very convenient location and perfect landscaping and farms along the way. Rose and family Newtown Sq Pa.

Echt Ierland.....
Zeer gastvrije ontvangst. Knus, gezellig en verrassend veel ruimte. Naast de centrale verwarming ook de mogelijkheid tot het stoken van turf in de kachel! Voor wie van authentiek houdt een echte aanrader!

Ein schöner ruhiger Urlaub in ländlicher Gegend.
Sehr nette und freundliche Vermieter. Hatten immer ein offenes Ohr und standen uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Im Ferienhaus war alles was man für einen Urlaub brauchte.
