Stayed Sep 25, 2025This is a genuine farm experience! The cottage was comfortable and clean, and well appointed, including a cheery log burning fireplace, all combined to make for a very nice stay! The best part, however, was the communication with our hosts! We were given all the information we needed, and very generously supplied with fresh eggs, hearty bread, and coffee. Delightful!

Stayed Aug 13, 2025Immediately felt at home. Cozy atmosphere. The dogs and the cat were really cuddly after a few days. Wonderful place to stay if you're planning daytrips to the East of Ireland.

Stayed Aug 3, 2025I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cottage. It was everything I imagine a farm cottage should be with the bonus of chooks clucking in the morning. Very comfortable. Nicely positioned for our daily excursions.

Stayed Oct 4, 2024This place was in the perfect spot for all our travels. We toured almost all of Ireland and this was just in the perfect location. The owners were just so sweet and I loved their dog Rocket, he was the sweetest. It was so much better than staying at a hotel. It was a more home like feeling. I recommend this place to everyone

Stayed Sep 1, 2024We loved Athy and this cottage! Claudia and James were excellent hosts. They were there for anything we needed but also allowed us space and privacy. We did not rent a car for 3 of the 4 weeks we were there and relied on public transportation. We were able to walk to town, grocery stores and the train station from this property. With a car, everything in town is mere minutes away. The cottage provided everything we needed and was comfortable, clean and spacious….our home away from home. The town has plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops to choose from and plenty of sites to see. You can enjoy the quiet of the countryside while still having amenities close by with this property. A true place to relax after a day of exploring all that Ireland has to offer.

Stayed Sep 30, 2022The pump house is located on a multi generational family owned farm. The house could not be any cleaner or nicer. Claudia and James are wonderful hosts. We did some fishing along the banks of the river on their property. It’s very tranquil. This is a great home base for those looking to do day trips. Easily accessible. We’d highly recommend.

Stayed Sep 19, 2022We were absolutely delighted with this charming cottage and our hosts Claudia and James were extremely welcoming. Their attention to detail was very impressive and they thought of everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The animals were an absolute delight to see in the morning and evenings when we came home. It's our dream retirement cottage! Thank you, most sincerely to Claudia and James.
