“We came over from England to visit a relative nearby.”

The owner is a delightfully friendly and amenable man. He made our stay very easy and relaxing. Could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. The property was as described and the view was perfect. Watching the spring lambs was a bonus, eventhough it is a working farm there was no noise, apart from the odd sheep or cow. Thank you and will definately try and visit again.

Rynagh March 2024

“Cosy house on a farm.”

Loved lighting the fire in the evening, relaxing in the comfort of this home, looking out on the fields of sheep, lambs and cows. The owner Willie is very friendly abd helpful. Great location if you have transport, lots of interesting things to do nearby, if you enjoy beaches, cliff walks or historical attractions.

“Usually it's all about the house but this time it was all about the location and surroundings.”

The house is on a working farm in a valley over the mountains next to a tidal river. The views were amazing, the animals were a delight and the night sky incredible. It was so peaceful and we truely felt close to nature , we left feeling recharged and content. Highly recommended.

“Cozy little cottage in a beautiful rural setting.”

Willi, the owner, is a true gent and very accommodating. If you're into hiking, try The Vee. Also, had a great day at Fota Wildlife Park. We would book again

Alan September 2023

“Nice little Cottage perfect for the two of us, friendly owner and very rural setting, there is a Donkey in the field.”

Comfortable lounge area, sadly no incidental lighting, but we were able to use a table lamp from the 2nd bedroom.The kitchen would benifit from a caserole dish and a measuring jug. We had a great week and would return!

Ronnie September 2023

“Very nice cottage and location Host was terrific and extremely.”

Helpful and affable. Everything was as expected the area was exceptional in its variety and beauty with a.very exciting horse fair.where l could relive my childhood. I admit the wonderful sunshine helped vastly. One small suggestion for the host. The yard is perfect to play boules . Maybe he should invest in a set Just a thought.

“Extremely nice and relaxing environment with beautiful landscape and farm animals.”

Very warm welcome by the owner, providing useful recommendations for walks and visits. Brand new Nespresso coffee machine.

James July 2023

“No TV in either bedroom: only 1TV in property, not 3 as stated.”

No games as stated. Furniture, fittings and equipment generally not in very good condition: much in need of replacement. Shower needs urgent attention as it produces scalding hot water if turned off then on again within a few minutes. Fridge needs defrosting and 2 of the shelves in the fridge door are missing. Quiet location and lovely views across the valley.

The cottage is bright and the views through the large windows are beautiful. Everything we needed was there. The owner was very friendly and gave lots of helpful recommendations.

“A wonderful place to stay.”

The Granary has everything you could want for a warm, cosy, relaxing break. The valley is so peaceful and beautiful. I never got tired of watching the sun rise over the hills, the herons glide across the river and the lambs play in the fields. Thank you Willie and Kitty for a warm welcome and taking such good care of me during my stay. A home away from home!

“Fantastic holiday, everything you would ask for and more.”

The owner (Willy) makes you feel so welcome, nothing too much trouble. Beautiful cottage in amazing location, with view to die for. Stunning views all around the Cottage. Very comfortable cottage with everything you would wish for including an open fire, Thanks to the owner, for the wood supplied for our fire. Plenty of beautiful places around the area to visit, local shop and good places to eat near by in Tallow and LIsmore. The Bakers Table in LIsmore was great for Brunch and the Latch in Tallow, very good good and friendly service. Loved Rosey the Donkey, loved her carrots, and the black cat, which we named magic, made our holiday complete. Will be back. Thanks again to the owner for make our stay so enjoyable. We were sad to leave.

“Willie and his Family could not have done more to make our stay so special in these tough time.”

The farm setting was so peaceful and Will and his son always took time to tell my daughter about all of the animals. The location was perfect for getting to either Waterford, Cork or even the beach!! The scenery was to die for and we were very surpised at how peaceful the cottage was given that it is on a farm! We will be back next year for sure! Thanks to Willie and his Family again for such a great holiday.

Duncan September 2019

“We had a wonderful stay at The Granary and we were blessed with beautiful weather.”

Willie the owner was very helpful and kind and made sure we had everything we needed. It was so peaceful and the view was stunning, especially in the morning with the mist rising from the river shrouding the valley and creating a magical picture of rural tranquility. It was lovely to be back in Ireland to visit relatives and also to visit new places. Lismore is pretty and Cobh is well worth a visit. Thanks again for a lovely holiday.

- Duncan, September 2019
Michelle August 2019

“It was a lovely area, the owners were lovely people.”

The kids just loved the Donkey and the Cat. What I would suggest is that the mattress on all beds be changed, they were very uncomfortable. Other than that it was a lovely house :)

- Michelle, August 2019
Judy September 2018

“The Granary is a very comfortable cottage with superb long views over the countryside.”

It is down a long twisting lane well off the road so very safe for a dog. There are sheep, cattle and a donkey in the field in front. You could just chill out in front of the open log/coal fire or visit nearby historic Lismore with it’s Castle which is owned by the Duke of Devonshire. The extensive gardens are open to the public. Take a drive through the nearby mountains or travel a little further to the coast with it’s beaches and copper coast cliffs.

- Judy, September 2018

Leslie May 2015

“The cottage was so quiet and peaceful even though this is a working farm.”

From being woken up by the local wildlife to going to sleep listening to the farm animals, it was total heaven. Willy the owner is such a nice and helpful person in fact all of the people we met where really nice and helpful, they where always prepared to stop and have a chat or if you wanted they would always be available in the background leaving you to your own devices.

- Leslie, May 2015
John April 2015

“The welcome and helpfulness of the owner was spot on, he gave us excellent info on The Granary.”
