I picked the Cowshed in Carrick on Suir because I liked the look of it on the air B&B website, unusual and quirky. Not only did it meet my expectations, but I hadn't realised how much there was do do in the surrounding area. Close to so much. The Blueway, the Greenway, Dungarvan, Tramore or a trip to Kilkenny. We went to Fota Wildlife Park for the day, only 1.5 hours away and Ethel had great suggestions of lovely things to do, places to eat, or diversions to make. Ormond castle is lovely and the walk from Cahir Castle to Swiss cottage a lovely gentle stroll by the river. Ethel is the perfect balance between being helpful and informative and letting you have your privacy. I can happily recommend it for a really enjoyable stay. There is a laundry room which is really handy after a walk up Slievenamon, and the local supermarkets and facilities mean you can cook in which saved us a fortune. Thanks Ethel and family!
