With the exterior of a modern Irish cottage, the interior features a large, bright open-plan living area with 30 foot ceiling, and mezzanine/gallery level upstairs.
The cottage has wooden floors throughout, and includes two double bedrooms downstairs, a fully-equipped, modern kitchen, CD player and radios, TV and DVD (with a wide range of movies for all ages), a huge bath and powerful shower. Upstairs, a third bedroom is available on the mezzanine level upstairs.
A cot with bedding, high chair, a bottle steriliser and a range of toys for young children are available if required, as well as children’s beds.
There is a fenced 1/2 acre garden in view of the house, and outside furniture for summer.

The surrounding area
The cottage looks out on Lough Derg, and sits on the border of Co. Clare and Co. Tipperary. The hill itself is believed to be the site of a bronze age hill fort.
The house is surrounded by farmland, and you'll see tractors and cows while you're there, and goats, donkeys, horses and friendly dogs if you go for a walk!
It is just 10 minutes drive to the pretty lakeside towns of Killaloe, and Dromineer, both of which host a range of arts, music and boating festivals during the year. Our house is also just three miles from Gary Kennedy - original home of the famous US President Kennedy's family - a centre for Irish music - and some great pubs!
Our neighbours at Loughtea will be happy to help you with any queries during your stay.
Walking up to the cottage
Activities
The cottage is a great base for walking - Lough Derg Way leads you all around the lake - as well as for day-trips across the West of Ireland including Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands. But there is plenty to do locally, including explorations of Irish history – the area is the seat of the last King of Ireland, Brian Boru.
