Victoria and Gordon's Purtill thatched cottage was exactly the charm we were looking for in the Irish countryside. Only a 10-15 minute drive from downtown Adare, but secluded on the property so that nights were quiet and peaceful. You could see every star in the sky and enjoy the sunrise in the morning. Victoria and Gordon left the kitchen and bathrooms stocked with the essentials for our use (shampoo, conditioner, soaps, delicious bread and jam!, coffee). We made fresh cups every morning and walked around the property and around the neighboring farms. They left helpful instructions for our needs around the house and important numbers. We were three and it was very comfortable, we each had our own wing of the cottage. Check-in was an easy process and I caught Victoria before leaving to make sure everything was all set for the next guest. She was so lovely and wished us well. Would absolutely recommend staying here!
