Book this amazing house and you will not be disappointed. Deirde is a wonderful hostess. The house is big with multiple bedrooms (super comfy beds) and bathrooms yet cozy and warm. Like the other reviews indicated the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. My children (ages 12, 12, and 10) loved every minute of it from hiking, pedal go-cart, animals, bikes, and ping pong. Had two family ping-pong tournaments and the kids were thrilled. About 6 or 7 minutes out of Thurles. Would definitely recommend having accessible transport to get around. There are cabs if needed but book in advance. Bernadette, the house caretaker, checked in on us regulary and truly made our stay special. The gardener was also very kind and showed us around. Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again!
