Greenville Cottage is part of my home, a stone built cottage, dating back to the early 1840s, it was built by my Great Great Great Grandfather Martin Maher. His brother James also resided here, in the house where I live with my husband and our three children. James and his family emigrated in the late 1840s to the United States, settling in Greenville Ohio. The Cottage accommodates four guests, having two bedrooms, the Parlour Bedroom and the Loft Bedroom, and one bathroom, as well as a small but functional kitchen and the living/dining room we call The Aula . We are in the process of restoring the old stone walls and developing our garden.

The house has many examples of art, mostly by local artists, photographers and crafts people who are our friends, which guests can enjoy, and the interior design of the cottage is of an exceptional high standard. I live right next door with my husband and three boys - and our two pet dogs who can do a little barking when they want food (and lots of tail wagging!), but they are friendly and welcoming.

We have our own rural country well, so we advise guests to be please be sparing with water use as the cottage is traditionally designed with a small tank, in respect to it's heritage. If there is heavy rain or drought, the water can get discoloured for which we apologise.

Old houses can be very hard to dust to an exceptional high standard, as some of the walls inside are natural stone. The also attract the odd harmless spider, which we consider part of nature, living in the rural countryside.

    We used the cottage as a central location to look at many different places in Ireland.The host was very helpful and welcomed us to the cottage.There were nice places to sit inside and out.I would just like to point out that if you are expecting a hotel or a sterile B&B this is likely not for you.

    Our hosts were incredibly helpful, friendly and from the moment we arrived more than happy to pass on information to places to visit in Ireland. The cottage was so welcoming and we loved every moment we had there. Any questions we had were always answered extremely quickly. It was a pleasure to stay in Greenville Cottage, thank you to Denise and Joseph and their three sons, you all aided in our visit to your home and your country .

    Absolutely loved our stay at this nearly 200-year-old cottage tucked away in the heart of Ireland. It’s the perfect home base for day trips across the country. we were able to explore so much without ever feeling rushed. The location is peaceful, central, and full of character.One of the best parts was coming back to the cottage and being greeted by the dogs across the gate! Denise and her husband were wonderful hosts, incredibly kind, thoughtful, and a joy to chat with. We had some great conversations and learned so much from both of them.If you’re looking for something more memorable than a standard hotel stay, this is it. Unique, charming, and full of history, we’d absolutely recommend it!

    We were three older adults looking for a quiet place to stay while visiting the mid west. It is a very central location with connections to the motorway going both east and west. We felt welcomed, secure, and a quiet place to just relax in the evenings. The cottage has a lot of old age charm, artistic touches and a very warm welcome by our hostess. Very cllean, no mod cons, but who needs those? It’s a holiday venue for relaxation.

    The property was as unique and enjoyable as described. The only drawback was the cold weather and lack of adequate heating. Both doors had multiple gaps. the indoor temp. about the same as outside. Very recommendable in warmer weather.

    The cottage is just so special and beautiful, we just loved it. It's close to town and there are a lot of things to do in the area. Thank you Denise for the warm welcome and looking after us.

    We chose this cottage in the country to experience the local towns, people, the food, & history. We rented a car & used the cottage as base. Each day we drove to a different castle or locale.Even the Cliffs of Moher was a day trip. Roscrea village was close for groceries. Denise & Joe were very friendly, helpful, kind, & wonderful hosts. Loved all the decor, books, location & Denise’s Irish soda bread was YUMMY! Highly recommend. Debbi & Perry

    My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Greenville. The cottage is situated in a quiet, very green location, the only thing you'll hear are Irish rain, and occasionally cows or when the lovely canine co-hosts Mandjar and Venice demand your attention. At the same time it's also close enough to make it a base for interesting day trips, we went to Kilkenny, Cashel, the cliffs and Limerick. The next shopping opportunity is in Templemore, approximately 10 mins by car. Also, Denise is an absolute treasure, she brought us home-made bread and artisan cheese and messaged us regularly to make sure everything was alright. The cottage itself is also very interesting, I never stayed in a house like this and it was quite fun to figure out the little quirks that come with it, for example how to properly shut the capricious doors. The beds are very good, there are tons of info material about the tourist attractions nearby and Denise also has a lot of tips. Long review short: We loved the stay and I'd recommend Greenville to everyone who wants to stay in a unique place that's also way quieter and has more soul than a hotel in a big city.

    Denise is a beautiful, friendly, considerate and very welcoming landlady. Her home baked Irish breads are fantastic. We were there ten days and she baked bread for us on three separate days as gifts. Absolutely delicious. We won't hesitate in staying at her beautiful self contained property again. Any future stays in Tipperary, she will be our first port of call. Thanks Denise, you are amazing.
