We have just returned from a wonderful stay at the idyllic Bluebell Cottage, in beautiful County Tipperary.
This was our first trip to Ireland and the cottage was a real highlight, such a treat to stay in such a beautiful home, and its location made it great base for the week. We hired a car- which I would recommend doing- so we were able to explore some nearby attractions and beauty spots- I would highly recommend visiting Glendalough and the Wicklow mountains (particularly on a clear, dry day) which was around a 2hr scenic drive from the cottage.
We spent our days exploring and our evenings back at the cottage cooking an evening meal and sitting out on the terrace watching the sun set over surrounding hills.
The cooking facilities were 5 star at the cottage, and the whole cottage was very clean.
A Large Tesco, about 20 mins drive from the cottage was a convenient stop off to stock up for the week.
Mary and Gordon are great hosts- providing us with plenty of recommendations and replying quickly to emails.
The birthday card and apple pie on arrival was also a lovely surprise!
I would definitely recommend staying at Bluebell cottage and I really hope to return one day! There is still so much of beautiful Ireland to explore!
Thank you for having us Mary & Gordon!
