The Farm Stay

A lot of love went into the renovation of our family's traditional Irish cottage. We invite you to stay the night and experience Ireland how it should be. Feel the cosy warmth of a traditional style Irish cottage whilst also enjoying the comfort of a more modern rural Ireland. Our cottage features a traditional stonework facade, an original 19th century hearth and fireplace and lots of trinkets from days gone by.
