- “Breda and Liam were so kind and thoughtful. The warm welcome we received was brilliant. Home made scones and pie on our only wet day with extra games for our grandson and books for us. They seemed to think of everything and nothing was too much trouble to make our holiday as great as possible. Our 5 year old grandson loved the garden with the little castle and all the outdoor toys. The games room was great too on our wet day. The farm itself was a big hit with the chickens and especially the calves. We would definitely recommend Cherryfield as a place to stay.”
Mrs Hobson, Frome, April 2018

- “We enjoyed our week in the cottage, and used it as an ideal base to explore the east of Ireland. We met Breda (lovely lady) only briefly as she and her husband left in the early hours of the next morning to go on holiday, but she showed us around the farm and you had the feeling that nothing would be too much trouble - she showed us where to collect the freshly laid eggs (never had eggs that fresh before - delicious). We were left very much to our own devices (which is just how we like it) but knew if needed, sons Brian and Paul were there. The cottage had everything we needed including 2 much appreciated bathrooms and would easily/ comfortably accommodate 6 people. If you like a quiet, relaxing, rural retreat try it, I'd recommend it.”
Mr Buttriss, 56237 Nauort, September 2017

- “The cottage is on a working farm so it was lovely being able to feed the horses and chickens. Buster and Rover the two dogs were exceptionally well behaved. The cottage is very quiet and spacious, with everything you could need or want for a relaxing holiday. Lots of books, DVD’s etc. The location is absolutely beautiful but still only about 20minutes from Kilkenny so you can easily visit this lovely city. There’s plenty of other places to visit within easy distance and the little town of Durrow just a few kilometres away is delightful. The welcome we had from the owners,Breda and Liam, was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for them, even down to supplying as many logs for the wood burner as we wanted which made the cottage even more cosy in the evenings. Breda was so kind in making us tea when we arrived, along with her lovely homemade bread and a delicious pear pie she really spoiled us before leaving us to our own devices. If you’re looking for a nice relaxing break in a beautiful place with the warmest of Irish welcomes you will not be disappointed.”

- “What an absolute pleasure to stay in this cottage with the most fantastic couple. This is our second stay and we will be booking again for next year... Not only did we have a fabulous welcome complete with a meal and pear tart on arrival, but I was travelling with an infant and my disabled dad. Breda ensured that my dad had everything he needed, even a walking frame should he require it for getting around and more than enough equipment for my grandson, high chair, cot, toys.....it made things so much easier and we were able to travel without a roof rack. This cottage is quite simply home from home, thank you, Breda and Liam, for another fabulous holiday and see you next year.”
Mrs Harris, EBBW VALE, September 2017

- “We have just come home from Cherryfield having had a fantastic week. On our arrival we were welcomed by the owner, Breda, and some lovely tea and scones, bread and apple pie. The two dogs, Buster and Rover, were also there to welcome us. The cottage is lovely with everything you need. There were plenty of things at Cherryfield to keep our teenagers occupied including the games room, badminton and other sports equipment. There are plenty of places locally to visit and Cherryfield is also an ideal base to explore further afield. Breda also gave suggestions of places to visit. I highly recommend Cherryfield.”
Mr Murphy, WATFORD, August 2017
-
- “Cherryfield was awesome (to use the phrase from my 15 year old). Three kids and two adults - tons of room. The kids had a blast outside with the dogs, playing a bit of hurling, partaking in the milking, a little badminton, etc. Everyone went to bed exhausted. It was a shame our time was so short as our 9 year-old son really loved the place. We do quite a bit of traveling from the US, and this ranks right up there with one of our top experiences ever.”
Dr Hill, Dallas, August 2017
-
- “We arrived about 7ish to a very warm welcome by Breda. The cottage was lovely, very peaceful with beautiful gardens. The following day Breda showed us round the farm and where to collect eggs for our breakfast. We had a lovely week with lots of advice from Breda and Liam on where to go etc. and we were very sad to leave. I will certainly recommend to others and return if in Ireland again. The two dogs (Buster and Rover) were lovely and also very welcoming.”
Mrs Edgar, Eastbourne, July 2017

- “We had yet again a great time with Breda Liam and their family.flyn and hope had a lovely time on the farm from milking the cows and feeding the calves to collecting eggs from the chickens for breakfast we hope to be able to make another visit in future”
Mrs Lowther, GATESHEAD, April 2017
-
- “What makes Cherryfield special is the wonderful Murphy family who couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome and part of their family during our stay. Liam and Breda went out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed including moving furniture about to make a comfortable work area for my son. We were spoilt with homemade apple pies,scones and waffles during our stay which were delicious. The highlight for my daughter was the birth of the calves and getting to feed a new born calf was a wonderful experience. Liam even allowed her to name the calves which was very special for her. We would definitely recommend Cherryfield and will be visiting again as soon as possible.”
Mrs Edwards, Veld Stree Glen Marais, January 2017

- “Holiday cottages are only as good as the people who own or them ,and cherryfield at Ballyragget is owned and managed by the warmest couple you could ever wish to meet, we found the pot of gold.”
Mr Barry, DUNSTABLE, October 2016
-
- “The owners were very welcoming and friendly, everything was there. We were welcomed on the first day with breakfast. The house is very centrally located in Ireland, we could plan and do our tours very well. From Dublin, Cliff of Moher, Limerick, Kilkenny, Tullawmore Distillerie, everything was not very far and we have seen a lot. We will definitely visit Ireland again and try to stay in Cherryfield, as we would like to explore the south coast and continue to experience a lot. In Durrow you could eat very well and there was a pub, Bob's museum pub, here we were equally welcome and could experience a typical Irish evening. Tanks for a great Holiday.”
Mrs Schlueter, October 2016

- “This cottage is simply wonderful, a 10 out of 10. We were relaxed and comfortable and loved the area. The owners though, Breda and Liam Murphy, make it a totally fantastic experience. Nicer folk we've never met.”
Mrs Kirk, HENDERSON, September 2016
-
- “We arrived to an extremely warm welcome, the table was laid and there was homemade bread, jam and butter and an apple pie which can only be described as a slice of heaven awaiting us. Our hosts Liam and Breda were so warm and friendly and so helpful with places to go and things to do, it was amazing. The cottage its self was very comfortable, with excellent attention to detail and of a very high standard. As a working farm, we were able to milk cows with Liam, feed the chickens and collect eggs. We had regular visits from the lovely farm dogs that managed to make us feel safe and protected. An ideal holiday as a base for exploring, or for just chilling. We loved it there and will be returning next year.
BUT most of all I can not speak highly enough about our hosts, who were everything and more, they made out stay even though it did not go as planned, truly wonderful, Breda and Liam were truly incredible, my dad who came with us suffered heart failure whilst we were there, due to their help, quick thinking and support we were able to get him to hospital and I am pleased to say he is going to be fine. They went above and beyond what friends would do, even though they hardly knew us. They even helped us find accommodation after our time at the cottage had ended to be near my father in hospital. I have no idea how we could ever thank them enough for all they did for us.
I would not hesitate to recommend this listing, its a truly beautiful cottage, in a lovely location with the hosts being absolute gems. It was a joy to stay here.”

Mr Erbacher, Brisbane, August 2016
-
- “Beautiful location on a working farm, with the nicest hosts that you could ever wish for. Lots to see and do in the area. Kids had a brilliant time playing football with the farm dogs, helping with the milking and generally getting involved in farm life. The property has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. Garden and games room are fabulous, our teenagers loved the space and freedom. And the icing on the cake? - the owners and the dogs. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone of any age.”
Mrs Taylor, DORKING, July 2016

- “Everything was good! We found the owners very friendly and welcoming, they could not do enough for you. The cottage was set in rural Ireland and was just a fantastic base to travel around visit places.”

Ein schöner Garten, ein gemütliches Haus, sehr nette Vermieter. Von dort aus haben wir wunderbar alles besichtigen können, was wir uns ansehen wollten.”

Mr Ball, Liverpool, June 2016
-
- “We received such a warm welcome on our arrival, which was quite late in the evening, with a cup of tea which was much appreciated. Nothing was too much trouble and we had two adorable dogs
who helped out with our breakfast. Collecting the fresh eggs was a treat too. The property was within easy reach of all towns including a day out to Dublin.
Looking forward to returning next year.”
Mrs Braithwaite, Sturminster Newton, June 2016
