Fairy Fort Farm and Ivy cottage in particular is a great place to stay. The property that the farm is on is quite large so you can step out your door and go for a walk and cover quite a good distance without even leaving the farm. So for us this was quite amazing as we live in an apartment with no outdoor space at all. There is a beautiful small river that you can take a (5 min) walk down to where you can listen to the water flowing and birds singing. really lovely. There are other walks to do on the farm and nearby as well. The atmosphere on the farm is very welcoming and friendly due to Michael's (the owner) hospitality and warmth. He was most kind to our family and did everything he could to make our stay a pleasant one. The animals on the farm are great and we were happy to discover that Fairy Fort Farm is an animal sanctuary as opposed to an animal farm as we are vegetarians. We did some nice trips away from the farm to check out the attractions like the rock of Cashel and the Michelstown cave, which were very easy to access from the farm. (the roads are all good and very quiet). Ivy cottage has a lovely fire place for those winter nights and Michael provided us with all the wood and peat we needed to keep warm. It was perfect;y clean on our arrival and had everything in it that we needed. Its a nice old cottage that functions well. We'd love to come back and visit Fairy Fort Farm again. Thank you Michael!
