Our beautiful country home was built in an idyllic rural setting on our family farm. It was lovingly finished to a very high specification. The gardens provide lots of space for little ones to explore and adults to relax and enjoy. Our home is 5 mins drive from Lough Derg, 45mins from Shannon Airport, 1 hour from Galway and the Wild Atlantic Way, 2 hours from Dublin and 2 hours from Cork. It is the perfect base for touring Ireland or attending a wedding at Coolbawn Quay or Ashley Park House.
Our country house is set in a tranquil location on our family farm, with only the tweet of birds and the mooing of cows as a soundtrack. The area is surrounded by meandering country roads which lead to the local villages, a pub over 100 years old and the majestic Lough Derg set on the River Shannon. The house itself is a very chilled out space with a combination of natural light and cosy corners in which to relax. We have invested in top of the range appliances, stoves and finishes to offer you the comforts of home and a little more. We do not believe in compromising when it comes to our free time and do not wish our guests to either. With that in mind, we invite you to be our guest and allow us to help you enjoy everything The Calves Field and surrounding area has to offer.
The Calves Field is centrally located in a quiet rural area in the heart of North Tipperary. Local villages of Kilbarron and Carney are within an 8 minute drive and within an easy drive to the towns of Nenagh and Portumna which have all the expected amenities including farmers markets and many excellent restaurants for eating out. Not far from the shores of Lough Derg on the river Shannon the house is ideally located to explore the Shannon Region and all that counties Tipperary, Galway, Clare, Limerick and Offaly have to offer. Lough Derg offers a host of amenities and services for families and groups with sailing, water skiing, fishing, boat hire, kayaking and other water activities available. There are also plenty of award winning restaurants and traditional pubs in lakeside villages dotted around the lake. For golfers there are two local courses and many more within 1 hours drive. People who like to take long country walks have plenty of routes to choose from on the door step and within a short drive there are marked forest trails to be explored.
This property would suit both families and groups of adults looking for a relaxing country break or a central base for exploring the Lough Derg area.
