The rustic charm of the Blacksmith’s Cottage ranks as a high point of our lodging experiences in Ireland. Emily and John provided thoughtful additions to the accommodations that showed they wanted our stay to be enjoyable. I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking to slow down and take in the ambience of rural Ireland. My only advice would be to plan your evening meal early in the night if you plan to eat in Fermoy. Like many farming communities, they “roll up” the street early in the night, so late night meal options are limited. Nonetheless, I highly recommend the Blacksmith’s Cottage for a pleasant place to stay in Ireland.
