Andrea is a very organized, clear and detail-oriented host. Her cottages are very clean, comfortable and spacious. Her home-made scones and farm-fresh eggs were delicious. The cottages are on a charming property a short drive from Graiguenamanagh, were you will find a well stocked grocery store. During the off-season, many pubs and restaurants are not open early in the week, Monday through Wednesday, but on Thursday, the options broaden. Kilkenny is a lovely 30 minute drive. This is the perfect place to stay away from the large crowds found in major tourist destinations.
