Marykate's place is in the perfect location off the M8 from Dublin and to then travel onwards if that is your plan. It's a good location for Thurles, Cashel, Holycross and Cahir. The Horse and Jockey hotel is 2 mins down the road at the turnoff junction and great for a spot of dinner, coffee and cake or breakfast if you don't want to cook - we went on Sunday morning. There is also a local shop nearby for provisions.
The cottage is lovely, the beds comfy and having two bathrooms was such a good bonus. There are table and chairs out the front and back to enjoy your coffee and the peace while watching the rabbits run around the fields!
Marykate's brother welcomed us and was also quick to answer any queries we had during our stay and her mother was there to say a warm goodbye to us.
We hope to be back next year.
