Perfect Cottage & Location

Our family of 5 adults had such a pleasant stay at the Dairy Cottage. Michael and Sheila made sure all was well for us and offered suggestions and directions for our daily excursions. We all enjoyed returning to the quiet cottage and its beautiful surroundings after our full days of adventures. I recommend the Dairy Cottage to those who want a fantastic experience in Ireland.

Perfect location

The Dairy cottage was a perfect location for us, a 1.5 hr drive to all the destinations we wanted to see while there in Ireland! The hosts were very kind and willing to go the extra mile. We suggest going into town to the local pub for a pint…. Owner very nice and welcoming!

Lovely Irish Countryside Cottage

After a long day of traveling internationally, we arrived to this beautiful countryside cottage surrounded by cows out back! The cottage itself is exactly what you see in the photographs, and so lovely! The Dairy Cottage was the cleanest rental we've ever stayed at! What made this VRBO so wonderful was the hospitality of the owners Sheila and Michael. They were both so kind and very responsive to our every need and generously gave us a tour of their farm because our son loves cows! Would highly recommend you stay at The Dairy Cottage, if not for the location and views then for the excellent hospitality!

Everything you could hope for and more!

The home was extremely warm and comfortable. Everything one needs was there, and we felt so welcomed when we saw the fresh baked biscuits and jam, waiting for us upon our arrival. We had originally reserved an apartment in the heart of Dublin back in February for this same period. 10 days before our arrival into Ireland the host with no prior warning or explanation canceled the reservation. We were extremely concerned that the entire vacation to Ireland would now be ruined. How could we have possibly have known that that cancellation would have actually been a godsend. It brought us to this lovely lovely home. Thank you thank you thank you. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

Great house with great views!

What they don't tell you on the site is the great views the house has overlooking the valley. Gorgeous! All in all a very nice place to stay! The house is very homely and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen lacks microwave and utensils (for stirring etc). Nice to have a washer dryer as we have seen some rain ;-). Groceries and all the other things you might need in Nenagh, a 15 mn drive. Nice big Tesco supermarket! But also a Lidl supermarket on the other side of town. Sheila greated us very briefly on arrival had to get back to work in a hurry. Her husband came a day early to say goodbye. Thougt we were leaving the next day, which we weren't. Not the greatest hosts we've seen.... But... Maybe we're the exception to the rule as other reviewers were very enthousiastic about their hospitality.

Lovely Home, but...

The Dairy Cottage is a lovely property, just wish we could have enjoyed it more. The day before our arrival Shelia emailed me and asked what time we would be arriving and that they were looking forward to meeting us. Since the arrival instructions say check-in is at 4 I emailed her back and said that we would be there around 4. We arrived at the house at 3:55 and no one was there. At around 4:30 we checked the front door and it was unlocked and the house key was on the table along with a sweet treat. We wandered around the house and figured out all the little details that it would have been nice to have explained to you. Around 8:30 Michael rang the door bell and said hello what time did you get in? I said 4 and he said he must have just missed us. That was the extent of our contact for the entire 6 days we were there (other than me emailing Shelia that there was no hair dryer). As I said the house was lovely and I do not have any complaints in that department. We have been renting homes in various countries and localities for several years now, and I have never once arrived at a home that I was renting and not been greeted. Honestly we felt like an annoying house guest that you are just hoping will leave (we almost did).

Peacefully Wonderful!

Thank you, thank you! We can’t thank our hosts enough for sharing the “Dairy Cottage” with us during our stay in Ireland. The cottage had everything we needed and was probably one the most peaceful accommodations we’ve stayed at in a long time, even with a working dairy farm right next door! Thanks Sheila and Michael for everything!

Wunderschönes Cottage in einer ruhigen und grünen Lage

Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl in dieser Unterkunft gefühlt. Michel und Sheila sind sehr nett und sofort zur Stelle, wenn man fragen hat. Wir haben auch sehr gut geschlafen, die Betten sind sehr gut. ist nicht immer die Regel. Durch die mittige Lage, sind alle Städte gut zu erreichen.

Central Ireland Visit

The Dairy Cottage is a wonderful place to visit if you are wanting to see the beautiful Irish countryside. The central location made it possible for us to visit sites to the south, west and east. There is a nice-size Tesco's market in nearby Nenagh, so self-catering was simple. The homeowners were very friendly and offered us great tips on places we could visit. Overall, excellent

"Perfect'

Michael and Sheila were excellent hosts, providing great hospitality. When we arrived and I asked our daughters what they thought of The Dairy, their one word response was "Perfect" and indeed it is. The Dairy is located on a working dairy farm and is well situated for day trips to Blarney and Bunratty Castles and the Rock of Cashel. The bedrooms are spacious, especially the Master. The kitchen is well equipped and the deck offers excellents views of the picturesque countryside. We have many golden memories of our trip to Ireland.

Amazing views, location, farm, and hosts

My family of 4 just stayed at the Dairy Cottage for 8 days, and loved it. Both Sheila and Mike were able to welcome us at the property and gave us a detailed run-down of where everything was and how appliances/etc worked. Sheila also had milk, juice, and a fresh loaf of bread waiting for us! The Cottage was very clean with a solidly equipped kitchen - we usually cook at home when vacationing and I had everything I needed. The view from said kitchen cannot be beat, and I already miss it. The rolling hills, water in the distance, and impossibly green fields are all amazing. We had a few questions while at the Cottage, and Sheila was very friendly and very responsive. We have a 1.5 year old and a 4.5 year old and this trip was perfect for them. The cottage came equipped with a cot and highchair for the little one, and plenty of room to run in the yard to get her energy out. We all got to tour the farm, and our 4.5 year old is in love with it. Mike (and his helper, also Mike) were extremely patient, and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and involved, and to answer all of his (and our!) questions. This time of year there were plenty of calves to see, cows being milked, and in the distance grass being cut and bailed by tractors – a kid’s dream! The location is peaceful and quiet, but also a very good for seeing the tourist sites too. From there we were able to see the Cliffs of Moher, at least three large castles, and the Jameson distillery down in Middleton, Cork. Locally we were able to walk near the lake, see Nenagh center, eat out at a local restaurant, and shop for some wools at the John Hanly factory store. There are certainly more sites within easy distance, but we ran out of time to see them all. The Cottage is also just quick drive to multiple grocery stores and shops for anything you may need. All in all, the place is great, and we wouldn’t hesitate to send friends and family there. Thank you to Sheila, Mike and their little man for the stay!

Our week in this beautiful place was amazing!! The cottage is stunning and we had everything we could possibly need! We met Michael and he kindly gave us an amazing farm experience and my son even had a ride in the tractor and learned all about the workings of the dairy farm. I would highly recommend this beautiful place if you want a peaceful getaway and gorgeous views. Thank you so much Sheila and Michael x
