What guests are saying
Mammy, my niece and nephew and I have had a 2 night stay at the Farm Cottage.
Everything was great in the cottage especially having an ensuite with each bedroom. We had never used an airfryer before and had toasted sandwiches for tea. It was so easy to use. Everyday is a school day. We visited the Carmelite church in Kildare for mass and onto Newbridge silverware showroom where we got lunch. Then we went to Sallins for a barge trip which was suitable for the 91 year old down to the 9 year old. We visited the Shackleton museum in Athy and found it very good. John and Dolores left us a starter pack with some nice bits for the children. The children enjoyed meeting their lovely dog Bella. The outdoor area is lovely with a table for dining also. We would have loved to have stayed longer as it was so comfortable and lots more to see and do locally. Thanks for everything I hope to visit again.
The property is situated centrally for a number of interesting days out.
We found the owners very friendly but not intrusive. The property was well equipted. A quiet spot with a lovely undercover Table and chairs for all weather outside meals,drinks etc. Restaurant close by, Supermarkets not too far away to shop, as is Garage/shop just down the road. Having two bedrooms with Shower rooms /ensuite a real plus.
We had a wonderful 5 night stay, John and Dolores were very friendly and helpful, perfect base for exploring this part of Ireland.
Wouldn't hesitate to return one day. Thanks John and Dolores Liam, Emma, William
