Lovely cottage
The cottage is charming, clean, quiet, and well-stocked. We like to stay in the country instead of cities, but centrally located to visit sites. This cottage fit the bill.

Irish countryside
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. If you are looking for an authentic Irish countryside stay- look no further! The place was very clean, cute, and was supplied with everything we needed to enjoy our 2 night stay ( including pots, pans, soap and paper products) Communication was amazing and quick and this is centrally located to so many tourist attractions! I will note 1 of the bedrooms is a bit on the shorter side, so if you are tall, you have to duck- but other than that - absolutely lovely!!

A very special property
This cottage is a lovingly restored slice of rural Ireland at its best. Stepping through the door is like stepping back in time - and yet all the modern conveniences have been added in unobtrusive ways. The space is beautiful, warm, and inviting. Sleeping up in the loft is a magical experience, listening to the birds as you fall asleep. The property is beautiful, surrounded by gorgeous scenery. I look forward to staying there again soon!

Warm and cozy cottage
The stay was great! Sonia has done a fantastic job restoring the cottage and making it into a comfortable home. Both our girls loved the loft bedroom. The setting was great providing both peace and quiet and easy access to Limerick. Sonia was also readily reachable throughout the stay ensuring everything went well. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay.

Irish Farm House
What a beautiful, private, comfortable peaceful and so many positive adjectives I could use to describe our stay. We went to bed with no siren and traffic sounds from the city and woke up with the songs of birds. Recommend this place for people who need a get away from the hustling of a busy life. The hostess was more than accommodating.

A Wonderful Cottage
When we were planning our trip to Ireland, we knew we wanted to experience a bit of everything; which of course included a thatched roof cottage on a farm, and The New Thatched Cottage was absolutely perfect. We felt like we were transported back in time while still having everything modern that we needed right there. The grounds were beautiful. The horses were so sweet, and the cabin was perfectly cozy and comfortable. Our only hiccup was the slippery wood just outside the shed. I took a little tumble and banged up my knee, but I’m alright. Overall, I would love to stay here again and again… and just avoid that wood step 😅 Thank you so much for making our Irish cottage dreams come true!

Spectacular stay
This cottage is the perfect spot to relax and cozy up with your partner. It's lovingly restored with the right amount of modern touches. The kitchen has everything you need, the bed is comfortable, and the showers have hot water and strong pressure. If you're looking for a special spot in a peaceful, secluded area, this is the one! I loved every moment of this stay and would have stayed for months if I could.

Beautiful Country Cottage
My only problem was we were only there for one night. It is charming and we had a lovely time watching the cows. The house was larger then we expected. Definitely worth a visit and O’Neill’s is the coolest hardware store & worth the short drive down the road.

Family vacation
Wow! This place is absolutely amazing. It is a beautiful renovation that takes you back in time. The property and the countryside and the garden are magnificent. It is a little bit off the beaten path but it is exactly what we were looking for. It is 10 minute drive to town ,grocery store, and restaurants. Beds were very comfortable. Sonia was an amazing host and brought us eggs from her own chickens. Good communication with host. We had a discrepancy in the booking details ( which i think was probably my fault)but Sonia was very accommodating. If I could give this place a six star I would. If you can fit this into your road trip itenerary, you absolutely should.
