After a relatively easy drive from Dublin airport after the red eye from Newark we were met at the front of the cottage by Jim and he walked us into Childwall cottage. He had taken the liberty of sticking the fridge with some basic provisions, has a roaring fire going that warmed the whole cottage nicely. It was very nice to arrive after a long journey, a drive in the rain, and then to find a warm home waiting for us. The only thing better was the warmth we felt from Jim’s hospitality. He explained all the amenities, had plenty of firewood and coal for the fire and was ready to help at a moments notice.
The cottage is rustically quaint and situated in a wonderful area. Both Kilkenny and Waterford are an easy drive away. If you’ve got kids, there’s a game room and a treehouse. The doggies are very friendly and happy to open the door for you, or themselves, literally!
We really enjoyed our stay and couldn’t recommend it enough. Irish hospitality at its finest.
