We stayed in the lovely pastoral cottage in the Irish countryside. The property had been updated with modern amenities and was located close to Kilkenny and other points of interest. Our kids stayed in the Shed which was also updated and comfortable. It was a perfect location for our three days in this area. One point to note, the property is located near Callen which has grocery stores and pubs. If your map app does not put you near Callen then you are at the wrong place.

This place was amazing. It was tucked away off a main road right in the middle of cow fields which was super neat. The house was very clean with nice linen and very nice towels. The heated floors were so nice. We were able to wash our clothing which was nice. There was so much character to this place and my boys loved checking out all the nooks. The lavender and rosemary outside was a nice Irish cottage touch. I would recommend stopping at Aldi and getting some groceries as restaurants are not close. Overall I definitely recommend this place to stay
