In the southern part of County Tipperary, near the Knockmealdown Mountains, on the River Suir, lies a little settlement called Ardfinnan. The village has a lovely open green, a few nice pubs, a store, and Ardfinnan Castle, an outstanding Norman building that dominates the settlement's centre with majesty. The bustling town of Clonmel is eight miles distant and is located close to the Tipperary and Waterford border. The town boasts a variety of stores, pubs, and restaurants to enjoy, but Magners Cider is arguably what makes it most well-known. History-rich Clonmell is the only town in Ireland that was able to repel Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army during his siege of Ireland in the 17th century. The residents were evacuated to safety utilising General O'Neill's strategies. With the majestic Comeragh Mountains serving as a striking backdrop, the neighbouring Nire Valley provides several chances for cycling and strolling. The M8 highway is not far from Ardfinnan, making it simple to travel to County Cork and Dublin. This makes Ardfinnan the ideal starting point for year-round Irish exploration.

The only things that was holding back from being a perfect stay. 1. Pillows were flat and hard 2. Bedding was poor quality, bottom sheet was full of nubs and hair. It was very scratchy and kind of gross picking hair off. 3. The sofa really needs to be changed out, itâs seen its day and is very uncomfortable and needs a good cleaning. 4. The property could use some fine tuning in the cleaning , overall decent, however, lots of cobwebs, night table wasnât too clean , dressing table needed a good dusting. Overall we enjoyed our stay .. the biggest drawback being the poor quality bedding. Not at all as photographed. And the sofa is very tired and not at all in the condition like the picture. Very easy complaints from me to fix. Shower was great, bed comfortable, lots of towels, soaps etc. Very friendly owners and a very sweet horse.

Far too low. I struggled to get in/out of it. Really let the place down. We struggled with finding the place and found the directions very poor. This led to a poor first impression of the cottage. The curtain rail about the bed was broken and needs repair. The bed was very comfortable and it overall the cottage was lovely. The hosts were friendly without being intrusive.

The area and the dwelling itself were exactly what was listed and perfect for what we wanted. The lovely couple who owned or ran the cottage were such wonderful and helpful people and the village within walking distance has stolen our hearts too. We will be back and staying in exactly the same spot again. Superb.
