The positives first: the hosts are the sweetest most ingratiating people you’ll ever meet this side of wherever, and the cottage is clean, with basic furnishings and implements (no bath though) and cutely decorated. However - and these are major 'buts' - the cottage abuts the Cahir-Tipperary N24 highway (yes folks, ‘highway’) with a 100km speed limit. So the constant roar of trucks, farm vehicles and cars bombing down make this the noisiest place in the middle of nowhere – day or night. The closest civilisation is Cahir, a good 9km drive away. Not exactly next door for that pint of milk or anything else and walking down that road is out (even at 6am) unless you want to end up roadkill. Yes the views are nice, but who wants to sit outside with the sound of traffic roaring by? Also, this is a working farm, next to a pig farm and the field just beyond the hedge was fertilised while we were there; so that's a lovely smell while sitting outside - with your earplugs! Also the open space in front of the cottage was filled with builder’s rubble from ongoing renovations in the main house. All in all, not the sound, sight or smell we'd bargained for, but aye, you do see them luv'ly Galtees in the wee distance. Reviewers saying it was quiet must’ve been staying somewhere else. We booked the cottage for 5 days for some R&R after touring the west coast of Ireland for 3 weeks and had a quieter night's sleep back in Dublin, in a Temple Bar hotel. The listing also said ‘breakfast’ was provided. Nope, not true! Not a crumb. Ditto for Internet/Wifi connection which was crucial to our isolation and did not work due to … whatever! Also the sofabed is so uncomfortable it needs a one way trip to the tip. The host knew we were 2 adults sharing the cottage and not sleeping together. With 2 blankets covering the sofabed mattress you just about didn’t feel the springs poking you – just. So for the price, this listing was massively disappointing; it's not a quiet haven in a bucolic setting down a country lane with basic (and indispensable) Internet/WiFi for access to the outside world - and no amount of pretty pics can rectify that. If the host fixes the things that can be fixed, provides what the listing offers or reviews the listing for accuracy about what is not reliably available and discloses the highway noise, farm smell, junkyard environment and lack of outdoor privacy and green space, future guests can then make a well-informed decision and avoid being misled - like we were. That being said, we still love the hosts and wish them all the best.
