This peaceful country cottage sits atop a hill with a lovely view overlooking Mount Leinster and a patchwork of fields. It sleeps 3 adults comfortably, or 2 adults and 2 children. There's plenty of outdoor space and ancient woodland to roam and explore, cycle, walk or jog. And we're in a great location for touring the South-East (Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow and Dublin).

We welcome longer stays so give discounts of up to 35% for weekly bookings, up to 65% for monthly bookings.

The space
Paddy's Cottage is sought by guests looking for the head-space to get creative work done, and by individuals and families seeking a restful holiday close to a wealth of local places to visit.

The cottage is comfortable and fully furnished. We provide some breakfast basics and firewood to get you started. A covered patio nestled into the granite-walled garden at the back offers private al fresco dining. Shower and full bath (with sky views) and good quality bed and bath linen assure a restful stay.

Our guests have been enchanted by the surrounding nature. Rolling fields, ancient woodland by the River Slaney, and the leafy lanes encourage walking, jogging and cycling in the fresh, sweet country air.

Our rural landscape provides shelter to all kinds of wildlife, and sometimes farm animals too (usually sheep, sometimes ponies). We do not use any chemical sprays in the garden. Despite thorough cleaning, it is possible that a harmless bug or spider may find it's way in. Feel free to ask us if ever you need help in this regard.

Guest access
Guests have full privacy in the cottage. The utility shed adjacent to the cottage has a washer / dryer shared with the adjacent cottage. A retractable clothes line is also provided.

Other things to note
Utilities are not included* for longer term guests (more than a week). We take a meter reading and charge actual cost. There is no rubbish removal service here, so longer term guests (a week or more) are asked to manage their waste, with our guidance. A composting bin is provided and recycling / rubbish amenities are well explained on arrival, but please feel free to ask questions prior to booking.

* UTILITIES 2022 UPDATE: Since we joined the Airbnb community several years ago, we have always given generous discounts for longer stays, excluding electricity. Thus, guests have some control over their energy costs. The sharp rise in energy prices in 2022 is reflected in guests' energy charges. We charge exact rates as billed by the utility company; there is no extra amount charged to you. Actual past expenditures are available on request. This is our house rule and must be accepted if you stay with us for a longer period (a week or more). Thank you.
