Charming Old Farmhouse, Beautifully Restored - ideal base to explore SW Ireland

High-quality accommodation, steeped in history and character. Full of light and open spaces, situated between Macroom and Coachford in the heart of the countryside. Our farmhouse is the perfect sanctuary, a place to unwind with family and friends, a calm and leafy haven where time stands still (if you want it to). Take a walk on a country lane and smell the honeysuckle, pick a blackberry or a wild flower.

If you fancy a bit of sightseeing, we're located less than an hour's drive from many of Cork and Kerry's most popular tourist attractions including Killarney, Cork City and Blarney Castle. There's plenty to do in the area: we are ten minutes away from Ballyhass Lakes Coachford, the National Rowing Centre in Farran and Zip It, Farran Wood. The nearby River Lee is very popular with anglers. The Gearagh near Macroom is an incredible place - a submerged glacial woodland and nature reserve which has been designated as a wetland of international importance. And it's only ten minute's drive from here!

During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Macroom Castle. You'll find features like a hot tub and laundry facilities. A kitchen and 2 bathrooms are available in the vacation home.

Beautiful period property in quiet rural location, 15 minutes drive to shops, pubs & restaurants. Contactless checkin/out. The host, Ger, suggested picking up supplies prior to our arrival which was helpful. We saw him just the one time, when we phoned for him to come by to help with the oven and replace the light bulb upstairs. He was very friendly and invited us to explore the property freely. Our only suggestions would be to improve the lighting in the bedrooms e.g. bed side tables with lamps. Also the family ancestor photographs could be moved into an album so that guests could enjoy them if they chose to. Overall we enjoyed our 4 days at the farmhouse and would recommend it to friends and family.

This was such an amazing place to stay. I wish we wouldn’t have planned as many excursions so we could just stay on the property for a full day and thoroughly enjoy. The hosts were so friendly and the Farmhouse is exactly as advertised- charming.

We used this farmhouse to stay at while exploring the Southwest / Killarney area. It was easy to get to and has a breathtaking view of the Irish countryside. The host make the check-in process very easy, and even provided recommended restaurants in the nearby towns.Perfect stay for travellers in the area in need of two bed/2 baths.

Lovely farmhouse with an amazing view

Lovely historic farmhouse but still updated with all the modern amenities you'd want. The kitchen in particular is in excellent condition and well stocked. Appreciated that there was even breakfast options like cereals out. It is likely obvious, but should be noted it is not walkable to anything and you must have a car to get to a grocery store, restaurant, town, etc. The hosts brought us fresh baked bread, butter and jam one morning, and it is the BEST bread I've ever had in my entire life. My husband and I couldn't stop talking about it and I wish I had the recipe!

Doesn't get better than this!

We were fortunate enough to book 4 nights with Ger and Grett in their amazing farmhouse this past week. Not only was the farmhouse clean and inviting, with just the right mix of traditional and modern convenience, but it sits in a beautiful part of the country. You are close to most big Cork spots and have shopping close by. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our hosts, who were truly the best- engaging and inviting, with an abundance of Irish hospialityacow

Old Restored Farmhouse

We completely enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly as described. There were so many touches that show that the hosts have worked really hard to ensure that their guests are comfortable. It's a combination of old world in a farmhouse over 200 years old with restored stone walls, old family photos and original furniture with modern touches such as USB ports, modern lighting. It's a very thoughtful property. We hope that we have the opportunity to stay there again.

Lovely and Peaceful

We really enjoyed our time -this time of year can be so beautiful - early darkness found us relaxing by the fire in the evenings and up in plenty of time to enjoy beautiful morning light (and sun rising) … the house is so warm and speaks its history - a welcome respite from city and a great base for exploring (although we could easily have enjoyed staying in all day!). Many thanks to Ger and Grett and family!

A most wonderful place!

My family stayed here for 3 nights. This was our favorite place mostly due to the owner, Gerard. He was so kind and generous! He provided fresh milk and cream, gave us a tour of his dairy farm including the milking operation, and provided amazing stories/history. We all loved every minute.
