This charming cottage enjoys a peaceful setting, surrounded by trees in the Kilkenny countryside. The property sleeps two guests and welcomes two dogs, making it the perfect romantic escape for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The small town of Mullinavat is 3.5 miles away and offers a good range of independent shops and eateries, as well as popular walking routes such as the South Leinster Way and the route to the summit of Tory Hill. Further afield, the ancient city of Waterford (11 miles), with its museums and fascinating architecture, makes a great day out for history enthusiasts. Alternatively, head to the coast for a relaxing afternoon exploring the picture-postcard fishing village of Dunmore East (20 miles), with its thatched cottages, hidden coves, and traditional Irish pubs.

The single-storey cottage is set in the grounds of the owner’s house. Inside, the property is tastefully decorated and furnished, and is full of personality thanks to a plethora of original features. The gorgeous lounge is a fabulous place to relax in the evenings, with high ceilings, whitewashed walls, and a beautiful arched window. A cosy wood burner is set in the fireplace, and you’ll find a collection of sumptuous seating to sink into to watch the TV/DVD. The kitchen/diner also boasts characterful, original features, along with all the equipment needed to whip up delicious dinners for two to share at the central dining table. When day turns to night, choose from two elegant double bedrooms. A handy shower room completes this countryside bolthole.

Outside, a tranquil haven awaits in the enclosed garden. Chill out on the patio with a glass of wine, listening to the birds in the trees and admiring the countryside views. There’s also a small lawn area that’s ideal for four-pawed guests.

Penelope is a wonderful host who made us very welcome. The cottage is very nice and has everything you will need. For us the great bonus was the large enclosed garden for our 2 dogs. The location is excellent and numerous attractions are within a 30/40 min drive including some glorious beaches. WE would highly recommend this property
