Treat yourself to a relaxing break with your loved ones at this inviting detached house located on a working farm on the River Tar. Sleeping six people across three bedrooms, it's a great accommodation option for small families or a group of friends who want to discover the serene beauty of the Golden Vale of Tipperary together. Check out the medieval wonders at the Rock of Cashel (10 miles) and catch a glimpse of Ireland's rich history when you discover its round tower, chapel and high cross. Or head to the majestic Cahir Castle (20 miles) – one of the country’s largest and time-worn castles. Explore the towers, walls and dungeons that date back to the 13th century.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by an inviting open-plan kitchen/diner with traditional country styling. Head to the welcoming lounge area and take a moment to relax in front of the wood burner before making your way back to the stylish kitchen to whip up a meal for your loved ones. There’s a handy island here for preparation or so that someone can keep the chef company. Host a sociable meal in the dining area and after dinner, head back to the lounge to warm your toes again in front of the glowing wood burner. When it’s time for bed, you have three beautifully styled bedrooms to choose from – one double and two twins. All the bedrooms are served by a bathroom with a separate shower.

Head outside and you'll find a lovely large courtyard with garden furniture. It's the perfect spot to fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco as you take in the far-reaching country views.
