Ryan's Loft

Ryan's Loft was a perfect base for us to explore the countryside.

The accommodation is a real 'exoerience' a step back in time with quirky decor, clean, basic but with everything we needed. We cooked dinner each night with the basic equipment we had, definitely needs a sharp knife but made do with the cutlery supplied. Sure the bed could have been updated but it was warm and cosy looking at the stars through the loft skylights. Very peaceful, pretty location and friendly manager. There are some stairs to the loft but manageable with care, we had medium sized luggage which was no problem. Overall, this was a great accommodation, something different to the regular motel or more upmarket homestay. Loved our visit.

The loft is quite basic and the stairs hard on old knees.

But it is in a beautiful setting, the owners very friendly and if you want a peaceful break, perfect.

Ryan’s Loft is in a lovely rural setting and with a lot more care and attention could be a great holiday destination.

However with a cracked bathroom sink, ill fitting toilet seat and home to many spiders, to name but a few issues, it was challenging. The musty smell from the derelict stables below the loft permeated the whole apartment. At the very least a deep clean and declutter would be advisable but a refurbishment is a necessity. Our visit to the area was enjoyable but please don’t disrespect paying guests with shoddy accommodation. I had a good wipe around but don’t look under the bed or on top of the wardrobe!

Had lovely relaxing stay.

..very pleased with ryan loft..well equipped nice and quite...rustic and quaint.. Will definitely recommend...I was visiting family and friends...and will definitely be heading back

It could be due to a makeover, but the cottage is an absolutely wonderful place for a quiet retreat for a few days.

It is in the beautiful village of Ardfinnan, Co Tipperary. The pricing was just right, and I would have no qualms about returning to this fantastic location. The villagers are friendly and, with a smile, will always say hello.

Ryan’s Loft is situated in an ideal place for exploring the surrounding area with easy access to Ardfinnan, Clonmel and Cahir.

Unfortunately , the property is in need of a good clean and updating. The cooking facilities are minimal and there is no hot water in the bathroom sink. The owner did change the settee throw when we mentioned there was dog hair on it.

Cracked crockery and glasses, cooker plates dirty or rusting - not sure which.

Owners were lovely and acted promptly when sink cupboard door fell off! Property needs upgrading totally.

We had a lonely time at Ryan's loft Ardfinnan.

Being dog friendly was a big plus for us. We travelled long journeys every day so this location served our needs well. Such a quaint little place and Bridget and Fintan were such lovely hosts. For anyone who would live to experience a novel stay immersed in nature this is the place to go.

Lovey setting and hostess very welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area.

Ryan's loft is nice and cozy, has everything one needs and pet friendly!

The location is perfect for exploring nature and there are plenty of walking trails.

We had a wonderful time in the cottage which was in an idyllic location- quiet, clean , comfortable and the owner was very kind and helpful.

There are some really beautiful gardens a shot distance away by car and lots of history to explore as well and hiking in the hills/ mountains.

Really enjoyed my week at Ryan’s loft , Ardfinnan.

Beautiful rural setting yet close to a lovely village on the river suir. Steeped in history and lovely walks . The property is spacious , light and very comfortable . Very welcoming host . Tranquility on steroids !!

Very dated cottage but certainly has charm.

Issues with heating, the cottage was very cold, fridge was leaking due to the freezer section not being closed correctly, having to get rid of the ice and clean up water. No heat in bathroom sadly. Overall it was clean and very much felt like going back in time in a time capsule.

This flat has its rough edges, but it's great for people who don't need a fireplace to feel cosy.

Even if the facilities are not all perfect, the surrounding is amazing. We had wild rabbits in and Robins in the morning, as well as a cock, which woke us and a cuddling horse behind the houses. Nearly every interesting destination can be reached within an hour, e.g. Lough Derg, Leap Castle, Kilkenny, Waterford, Cobh and the Vee Pass (15 min distance) between Tipperary and Waterford is worth a visit. So it's great for a couple or a single person, to start the discovery of south and middle Ireland.

This was a great place to stay.

Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

Our stay at Ryan's loft was most enjoyable, being on a working farm it was lovely seeing and feeding the horses and chicken.

The loft was comfortable for 2 and everything was at hand. It was a very good base to visit the areas of Tipperary, Waterford, Cork ,Limerick etc. We were given a wonderful welcome by the owners, nothing is to much trouble. They are very knowledgable about Southern Ireland and give good advice about places to visit. We would love to make a return visit sometime in the future. Please pass on our thanks to the owners.

Yes,very nice place to stay Bridget,was just lovely,and made us feel at home,great lady However you booking site is out of date ie there is WiFi in the accommodation and the pub down the road only opens at weekends from 8pm and no meals But really enjoyed our stay

Loved Ryan’s loft.

Very cosy. Great base for travelling. Ideal for 2 and a bonus it allows dogs. Could do with an eircode on the website as google maps brought me somewhere else.

Couldn't fault my stay at Ryan's Loft.

It was so comfortable and quiet. A perfect spot for those looking to stay in the stunning countryside with loads to places to visit nearby. I'll be back!

Manager was hostile, rude, neurotic and in my face over her entering my building at night and waking me.

I had to leave after only staying 1 night. Beautiful accommodation although its a bit busy with dry flowers and knick knacks taking up valuable space. Owner addressed issue with me over the managers conduct. Beautiful scenery. My fur baby and I, enjoyed the scenic walks.

No complaints great location nice and quiet peaceful and relaxing

The property is very pretty, rustic, the stone and wood are everything we like.

The environment is calm and peaceful, the happiness of being surrounded by animals and waking up to the songs of the birds.

An amazing get away .

Needs little update kitchen sofa . Would definitely come back again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The cottage had everything we needed and Bridget was incredibly pleasant and helpful. The only downside was how very hard the mattress is, but I suppose that may be a subjective thing that some may like and others dislike. Overall, we loved it and we would definitely return.

For us this quirky little property was perfect.

Small and compact, designed well (even the staircase to the property door!) and comprised of all that you would require including Wi-Fi for a comfortable short stay. Slightly off the beaten track, which meant travelling to go anywhere but it wasn't a hinderance to us. Hosts were very pleasant, helpful and courteous. Very pleased to have stayed here and if in the area again would love to come back one day.

Very relaxing paecful place,nice hostes,lovely animals:Molly and Sally and the horses.

Will definately recomend.

Went home early as there was no separate room to put our dog at night, which made it difficult to sleep.

Ryans loft is a really good base for touring around the south east of Eire.

The loft itself is cosy and plenty big enough for 2 people. The only negatives were the oven didnt work on the cooker and there is very little work surfaces/shelve spaces and any that there was is taken up by personal nic nacs ie ornaments and plastic flowers. All in all with the above changes (at very little expense) Ryans Loft would be an ideal holiday rental.

Possibly the best holiday we’ve had in years.

We left Ardfinnan with memories we will treasure. Breda and Fintan spared no effort to make us feel welcome and we cannot speak highly enough of the cosy, authentic experience of Ryan’s Loft.

A lovely holiday.

Made to feel very welcome. Mattie the caretaker was so helpful with his knowledge of the area and places to visit. A true ambasidor.

Ryan’s loft perfect place for me and my husband to stay , visiting friends and family from this location was brilliant peaceful clean welcoming family Breda and Fintan also thanks to Mattie very informative and helpful also being greeted by molly and Betsy also lulu each time you returned to loft great memories will return to this wonderful location x

Ryans loft was so comfortable and cosy and warm,couldn't fault it .

A lovely quiet spot to get away from the hussle and bussle of things.We went to the local pubs in the evening and met lots of lovely people who made us feel very welcome.Lots of nice towns to visit and places of interest to visit,we thouroughly enjoyed out stay .The caretaker Mattie is a gentleman and went out of his way to make out stay comfortable.Thank you.

Absolutely wonderful, Sykes where professional and faultless.

I highly recommend them

The property was as advertised and the owners very friendly.

The only problem we found is that it is rather remote.

Location and property were ideal and caretaker was brilliant

Lovely peaceful location.

I booked this last minute (night before) but it wasn't a problem.

The owner met me and showed me around the flat, she had left in milk, butter, some fruit and freshly baked buns. There was also tea, coffee and other condiments. It was very comfortable and quiet, relaxing. I had my dog with me and we went on lovely walks up the lane or into the village. The location was central for a lot of places and I travelled to a few of the historic places. The owner was very helpful and shared some of the history of the farm and surrounding areas. I would go here again and strongly recommend it.

My husband and I wanted a quiet, central location to stay as a home base for our trips to Clonmel, Cahir, Cashel, Lismore, Dungarvan, as well as exploring the walking trails and mountains all around.

"Ryan's Loft was a great place for what we needed! It was very peaceful; the town is very small but lively and pretty. The owners were wonderful and we even became friends shortly into our 9 night stay! Expectations were exceeded in MANY ways. We WILL certainly be back. The cottage/loft itself is rustic and very homey and comfy. It's absolutely perfect for a simple getaway in the country with all the country charm and character! There are lots of travel books in a basket left by other travelers, and there are all sorts of spices, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and butter and other cooking basics ready for use. Our holiday was very memorable, and a lot of that was because of our fantastic hosts!
