We enjoyed our stay at Paddy’s Cottage immensely. The cottage is charming and cosy, with stunning views of Mount Leinster. The village of Clonegal is nearby (I’d highly recommend visiting Huntington Castle, the Weaver’s Cottages, and Sha Roe Bistro there) and is delightful to visit. If you’re looking for simplicity, sweeping vistas, and serenity, and if you like visiting beautiful gardens (Altamont, Duckett’s Grove, etc.) and historic towns and castles, then you’ll have a great time staying at this cottage in Ballintemple. Tom and Pam are very friendly and helpful, and the local people couldn’t have been nicer. My favorite moments: reading or chatting by the wood-burning stove and having a glass of wine, watching the sun set at the end of the day over the Blackstairs Mountains. Thanks for a great holiday! Hope to return soon!
