Very cozy, lovely cabin with an amazingly comfortable bed. Also, we loved the old-fashioned American style.
The WiFi was out of service for most of our stay. Also, the fridge is tiny, so you can't really fit anything except a bottle of milk and juice.
Petit appartement confortable avec toutes les commodités
Petit déjeuner basique
Tutto! Un oasi di pace e tranquillità! Tutto era pulito e la piccola cucina era super attrezzata con pentole, stoviglie e anche i condimenti tipo olio, sale e pepe!
Absolument tout. L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Kilkenny. Kathleen et John sont très accueillants.... sans oublier leur chien Roger! La cabine est parfaite pour une famille avec enfant. Tout est bien pensé et organisé. Il ne manque rien. Tout est très propre. La literie est très bonne et confortable. Je recommande absolument. Je crois que j'ai rarement mis 10 à un logement mais si je pouvais je mettrais plus! Le petit déjeuner est complet.
Je pense que je n'ai rien à indiquer dans cette case.
Very welcome, very comfy, very friendly hosts.
great cabin, spacious, has everything you need
Hosts John and Kathleen really look after you. Their dog Roger is gorgeous. You have a fully self contained log cabin that is very cozy as the name says.
Long way from town but a really peaceful country location. Great spot to wind down in
The property was exactly what we were looking for, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to take day trips to different places like Cork, Waterford, Kilkenny, Rock of Cashel, JFK Arboretum, Kilkenny Crystal and on our way out, Cave of Dunmore. The accommodations were like a hidden gem, quiet area, lovely yard and hosts Kathleen and John were a pleasure to visit with. We enjoyed playing with Roger, who never tires of chancing his ball.
Definitely not a show stopper but internet was ok. Always good outside but when inside cabin, so so.
Leuk huisje, ligt vrij afgelegen. Heerlijk rustig na de drukte van Dublin
Zeer vriendelijke mensen, behulpzaam, prachtige lokatie om goed te kunnen relaxen. Kilkenny is zeker de moeite waard om te bekijken. Vlakbij grote Aldi.
De bankjes bij de tafel zitten niet echt lekker.
Die Lage war ruhig, in akzeptabler Entfernung nach Kilkenny. Die Blockhütte lidgt in einem großzügig angelegten Garten, Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür. Schlafzimmer und Bad waren ausreichend groß, aber alles in allem hatte es etwas von einem Tyni House.
Wie gesagt, Bad und Schlafzimmer waren ausreichend groß, Küche, Ess- und Wohnbereich waren ähnlich wie in eiem Wohnmobil. Eine Couch auf einer Seite, auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite in einer Nische 2 Holzbänke mit Tisch zum Essen. Die Küche war etwas größer, allerdings fehlt zu einer tatsächlichen Ferienwohnung die notwendige Kochgelegnheit - hier gibt es lediglich einen 1-Platten Kocher. Beim Frühstück, das ja mit angeboten wurde, hatten wir gedacht, es gäbe einen Frühstücksraum wo man das serviert bekommt oder sich nimmt, Dem war aber nicht so, das Frühstück für 2 Tage bestand aus 1 Packung Toast, Butter, Milch, und Marmelade, darüber hinaus gab es noch eine (angebrochene) Flasche O-Saft sowie Krümelkaffee und Tee. Natürlich war das ausreichend, wir hatten es nur (weil schon öfter gehabt) anders erwartet.
Everything it was a perfect stay
There was nothing I didn’t like
Es una vergüenza. Ponen que tiene WiFi en la cabaña y es mentira. Cuando llegamos a la tarde con 5 grados, la propietaria nos comentó que para poder usar WiFi, teníamos que salir a la galería con el frío que hacía. En el dormitorio a las 5 de la mañana cuando amaneció entró una luz que nos despertó. No había forma de poder oscurecer. Teníamos reserva para dos días, pero nos fuimos al primer día
I didn't like the owners coming into the cabin when I wasn't there and then they decided to powerwash outside the cabin for the afternoon and the host was cleaning the ashes from her fire decided to throw it over the wall when it was windy and all the ashes came through the open window and my clothes got destroyed
Very welcoming and charming. Very well designed and kitted out. Beautiful location. A little piece of heaven on earth. Perfect for a break away.
Great rural location with onsite parking. The cabin was very comfortable with excellent shower/bathroom facilities. Easy access pathways to the cabin illuminated at night.
Everything was great so no problems at all
Very cosy, had everything we needed, great hosts. The dog was a bonus!
Spotty wifi
Le logement a répondu parfaitement à nos attentes : calme, proximité de Kilkenny et de quelques commerces. Il y avait ce qu'il fallait pour le petit déjeuner : céréales, lait, oeufs, jus d'orange. Chaque jour le ménage était fait, les serviettes changées ce qui était très appréciable. Kathleen et son mari sont très accueillants, sympathiques et à l'écoute si besoin de quoi que ce soit.
La connexion wifi n'est pas optimale du tout mais ça fait aussi parti du charme de la campagne !
Very cozy and comfortable with everything you need for a short stay. The host was friendly and welcoming while still giving guests plenty of space and privacy. There’s a separate entrance with your own key, and the little standalone cabin is easy to find and well set up. The location is peaceful, just a short drive from the city. Overall, it felt like a perfect balance of comfort and independence.
The space is on the smaller, simpler side, but that’s part of its charm — more rustic than luxurious. Nothing to fault, really.
This cabin was absolutely gorgeous! It had everything one would need for a weekend away- comfortable and clean, fantastic breakfast, beautiful environment- I could go on and on. Kathleen and John were so welcoming and kind. They have created a really beautiful space for anyone wanting to experience peace and nature. We loved it and would highly recommend anyone considering staying there not to hesitate- they will not be disappointed
The attention to detail and warm hospitality
Cosy little cottage, clean and comfortable
WiFi wouldn't work
Stayed here for 2 nights with my little family of 3. It was exactly the stay we needed for our 2 year old daughter to have a relaxing time away from your regular hotels. Such a homey feel and we loved the board games and movies! Highly recommend staying here ❤️
The peace and the home out of home feeling we had during our stay.
Wifi could be better, but it part of the disconnection experience though. 🙂
We really enjoyed the welcome to the cabin and the little tour. :) We were also so thankful for the added breakfast in the cabin and the recommendations for activities to do nearby. John and his daughter even helped us with the heating in the cabin on the first night and it was much appreciated! It was a great space and we’d recommend it!
We were a bit scared of the spiders that were found in the ceiling of the bathroom but, we killed them and understand that it’s possible in a cabin.
Everything
Everything was spot on. It certainly was cosy and everything you needed was there.
Nothing not to like.
Lovely & Cousy wee place nice & peaceful
Every thing good & great owners
Hosts friendly and cabin well appointed.
Bed and bit average.
It had a little kitchenette that let us cook food, location wise it was about 15-20 mins from Kilkenny town centre but it was good because it was a bit more private, plenty of space and had everything we needed! Breakfast was also available which was really kind!
The Internet connection wasn’t too strong inside the cabin but this didn’t really affect our stay! There was signal close to the window or outside!
Lovely hosts and very comfy cabin!!!
We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful self-catering cottage. The host and hostess were incredibly warm and considerate, and made sure that their dogs never disturbed us. The cottage is ideal for couples or a small family like ours (we're a family of three), with a quiet setting and a nice garden. It's within easy reach of Kilkenny city and shopping options in Callan, but you do need a car to get around.
The kitchen is quite small — suitable for preparing breakfast, but not for cooking larger meals. WiFi and mobile coverage are limited, which makes it a great place for a digital detox. While the area is quiet, there aren’t any nature trails nearby that are away from road traffic. Still, it was a relaxing and enjoyable retreat!
The log cabin was a lovely environment and it has a very homely feel to it for me and my fiance and the owners Kathleen and john were absolutely brilliant host and couldn't recommend anyone better
Nothing it's perfect
Un véritable petit cocon charmant Parfait pour découvrir la ville de Kilkenny En bonus, super accueil de nos hôtes
Un très bon accueil, très cosy et confortable, tout était parfait.
An really excellent accommodation with all the facilities one could want in a self contained roomy garden cabin. Ìtems for breakfast such as bread, cereals and eggs were left for us. The location although quiet and peaceful was close to communication links and the city.
It was cute and cosy. Very relaxing. We had 2 nights here. Well stocked - loved the eggs! Very friendly family. It was a very enjoyable stay. Highly recommend it.
This was a beautifully appointed, self contained cabin that exceeded our expectations! We loved the board games and the DVD’s. It was cozy and comfortable!
The single bed was a little bit hard and lumpy but we still absolutely loved our stay.
Beautiful location
The dogs
Perfect for the parents who stayed there. Cosy and well laid out. The owner is very welcoming and so helpful, our folks felt most welcome. Peaceful in a nice country area but with easy (car) access to Kilkenny and other towns.
lovely family running the home....thanks guys
nil
Warm welcome from Kathleen, John, and Roger the dog! Excellent selection of breakfast options including large bottle of milk, orange juice, eggs, bread, cereals …
Wifi not strong - a little better outside than in.
Nice quiet relaxing area .very clean and host very friendly and welcoming ..
Internet coverage very poor
We just absolutely loved it so relaxing gorgeous place it was like home from home will definitely be returning
Cost, warm and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing time. Owners are really lovely and helpful.
Me and my partner stayed there cabin In nice location if you looking for peace and quite and to relax for few days John the host couldn't be more help to you he checks you in and if you have question or need anything he more then happy to help I Deffo recommend to my family and friends and I be back there again
Very impressive facilities available and was nice to get up and have tea/coffee and breakfast. Massive bonus was the Northern Lights were visible the 2nd night and we got to see them!!
All good no complaints at all
Rit name cosy
All good
Felt homely was quite
The cottage was exactly as described "cosy" Absolutely everything we needed was supplied. The owners had the cabin pre heated before we got there. The breakfast was sufficient and with plenty of choice of cereal, fresh orange juice, fresh eggs and milk. Highly recommend for a short retreat for couples or indeed with the kids as they have supplied lots and lots of games and dvds to entertain the little ones. We had a lovely weekend and will most certainly return again soon.
The only one issue we found was the lack of outdoor lighting. There were lots of lights but only one seemed to be working. Not a major inconvenience by any means.
Peaceful, quiet and comfortable stay. We were provided with everything needed, all the makings for breakfast were awesome.The hosts were so lovely and helpful.
Nothing. This is in the middle of no where and in someone's backyard. The door doesn't lock so be careful if you have valuables. They have an unfriendly dog which barks. We were relaxing in the morning due to jet lag and had a workman look right in the window. Then loud voices, a radio and a jack hammer right outside our door at 8am in the morning. Owner did not care. We checked out rather than staying another night. They did not want to refund us for the second night. Food supplied was out of date. Very old. Would not recommend. Also price too high. Better options available elsewhere.
Very restful. Well appointed. Gracious, friendly but not intrusive hosts. Recommend.
Wi-Fi should be boosted. We had enough mobile data to meet our needs (leisure break)
John and Kathleen were the perfect hosts. The accommodation was perfect with everything you could possibly need. Really enjoyed the stay in a relaxing environment!
It has a lovely feel to it and our hosts were lovely and helpful
Great hospitality, nice and comfortable. We all liked the small cabin
Beautiful. Exceptional host.
Everything.
Breakfast more than adequate. Location quiet and very peaceful.
N/A
Loved the property, very quiet, peaceful location but close to Killkenny and all it's charm. Hosts provided a lovely breakfast. Although small, there was everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.
Beautiful cabin with kind hosts! The property was clean and quiet. I would recommend it to anyone needing relaxing time away. The host provided board games and some great movies for our stay.
There was nothing I didn’t like! Great stay.
Everything, so comfortable & felt like home. My kids loved it so much. Kathleen & John are the nicest people aswell & couldn't do enough for us
I didn't stay long enough!!
Everything
Nothing
We went to do noting but relax and we couldn’t have picked somewhere better. The property was extremely cozy and had everything needed. The board games was great as we spent all weekend playing monopoly
WiFi wasn’t great but we brought a gaming console and was able to use our personal hotspot which worked fine.
Very comfortable and owners were very friendly.
Nothing
Very nice cabin, nice and toasty. Beautiful surroundings but not too far from Kilkenny city either. Lovely host.
Wifi connection could use an upgrade.
Comfortable and very well equipped. Great for a couple. Great welcome from the host and breakfast ingredients all provided.
It’s in the country so as is to be expected the internet is rather slow if you need a good speed.
Lovely place lovely cabin lovely hosts
Wi-Fi signal was low in the cabin
Such a cozy place to have some time away in Kilkenny ! Spent most days out but would love to come back to just enjoy the cabin!
Really quiet location, cozy cabin with comfy beds. Really peaceful as out of town. Easy to locate.
