This cottage is not only charming, it is historically significant as the former home of a famous poet. Clinton let us check in/out any time we liked, he responded instantly to texts, and he had left tea and toast for us in the kitchen. The cottage is an easy walk to the shops and restaurants (Clinton also gave us recommendations), and to the abbey ruins, which are extensive and interesting. Killmallock is a lovely, quiet town in between sights such as the Rock of Cashel and Killarney--perfect for a quiet getaway!
