We had a fantastic time at Clover Cabin. Fergal was there to greet us when we arrived, with the stove lit. The log cabin is amazing, with every amenity you could want, including a kitchen with cooking equipment. My only worry before we arrived was whether it might be cold, as we were staying in November. Nothing could have been further from the truth. The wood-burning stove was easy to use and heated the whole cabin within 5 minutes of lighting it. There was plenty of wood supplied. There were radiators too but we never needed to turn them on.
We brought our two-year-old and she had such a great time that she cried when we had to leave. The house had lovely new toys for her to play with, books, a cot, and a little booster seat for the dining table. Outside there was a little "playground" (swings, slides etc.) and an amazing tree house, as well as two sandpits with buckets and spades. We wrapped her up well and she was happy playing outside for hours! The cabin also has a lovely balcony off the main bedroom which would be amazing to sit out on in warmer weather.
The place was lovely and quiet, but within a short distance of the village of Gowran - we got lots of delicious lunch ingredients and cakes in Glasraí and Goodies. We drove to Kilkenny City twice, as it was only 20 minutes by car. Fergal was next door in case we needed anything, and was easy to reach by text/AirBNB message. I would definitely recommend Clover Cabin and we hope to come back some time!
