When we arrived after a long drive from Dublin we were thrilled to find a table set for tea complete with a homemade birthday cake for my husband. Words cannot describe how comfortable the cottage is. Pat and Marion had basic provisions already stocked. Pat was helpful with directions and Paddy the pony made his appearance near the kitchen window. The cottage is lovingly restored with period details. It was very clean, with good heat, including a nice warm fireplace in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend Pat's place and would love to be able to stay for a month to explore more of Tipperary and the south of Ireland.
