Suir Valley Cottage is an award-winning, sustainably managed family property that lies in the heart of south Tipperary countryside. Some 200 years ago someone hoisted oaks beams onto cob walls and thatched them with straw, and since then the hearth of the cottage has warmed the hands of many generations. Located on a family run dairy farm, the cottage is safely contained in its own world within high walls and old farm sheds and is a 5 minute drive to our local village of Newcastle.
The space
Suir Valley Cottage is situated in its own private yard with ample parking ,adjacent to the farmyard but securely separated from it.
The cottage itself with the kitchen and utility areas dating from the early 1800's comprises of a large family kitchen with a generous table (seats 8 people) with a solid fuel range, as well as an electric cooker and under counter fridge. The utility room is equipped with a washing machine, dryer and full size fridge freezer. There is also room here for storing raingear and boots, and a bookcase full of varied reading material for both young and old.
The "parlour" (sitting room)is the ultimate in comfort with a leather suite in front of a solid fuel stove and a 32" smart TV. A starter basket of logs is supplied for your use. The house is also heated by oil central heating.
All three bedrooms are located directly off the parlour.
The master suite boasts a traditional iron double bed with lockers and a wardrobe. The ensuite bathroom has a pumped shower. The main bathroom has an electric shower.

My work: Dairy Farmer
Lives in Clonmel, Ireland
Hi, we are Tomás and Moira O'Keeffe. We run a family dairy farm in south Tipperary. We have recently renovated this vernacular cottage ,where generations of my family lived. This partially thatched cottage was originally built around 1810 and subsequently added to in the 1930s and again in the 1970s.
Suir Valley Cottage is a love story to a simpler time, when the only music came from a whistle and a fiddle, and the world stretched only as far as you could walk. Come through the half-door and into the old kitchen, sit at the table, pour yourself a cup of tea and warm yourself by the fire. Sleep, and wake up to the sound of birdsong echoing up and down the valley.
