The Walled Garden Cottage

This property is incredible. The gardens hold a special place in my heart. The work Gudrun puts into making the flowers, fruits and vegetables healthy is so evident. The cottage itself makes you feel like you are stepping back in time but with the modern conveniences. Merie and Dennis tended to our every need from linen changes and tidying to filling the wood for the stove and filling our heads with local lore. Frank went out of his way to make sure we were able to have dinner at a local pub even though we arrived quite late.

We stayed a few nights on a recent trip around Ireland. This property was a highlight of our vacation. The authentic, historic home is adjacent to a walled garden complete with a large conservatory. The garden provided fruits and veggies during our stay (2 large bowls on the table when we arrived). The rest of the property is expansive with walking trails and access to Lough Derg. We spent a morning walking the trails with 4 of the owners (very) friendly dogs in tow. The location is very quiet and peaceful, a short drive from smaller towns and a day trip from places like Galway and even Doolin or Cliffs of Mohar. Frank made himself available to support our stay from check-in to check-out providing recommendations and fascinating details about the property. Overall a good stay that I would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful time in the countryside.

This is an amazing property--a delightful cottage and beautiful garden in a quiet, tranquil area. Everyone we met who was associated with the property was friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to stay there again!

The only negative is the pictures and description do not do this property justice. We were wrapped in casual elegance, with all the amenities needed. Well equipped kitchen, sharp knives, nice towels, beds and pillows. We had a great wood burner in the living area AND the main bedroom. As if this wasn’t enough, the private walled garden on the grounds of the wildlife preserve were magical. I thought we would have to share the garden, but it was ours! The hosts were accommodating and provided plenty of essentials in our welcome kit! We also had fresh flowers throughout the house to enjoy. Book your stay now, you won’t regret it!
