We arrived a bit earlier than expected but Maura (Marykate's mom) was more than accomodating to us. She was very welcoming and helpful in answering all of our questions. She had even left us with an apple crumble pastry for us to enjoy. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It's close to Cashel which made our trip to Rock of Cashel very convenient. The town of Cashel has some nice places to eat, a great bakery and a grocery store. I would definately stay here again if our travels brought us back to the area.
