Perfect cottage

Such a wonderful cottage. Location is picturesque and located within driving distance to so many places of interest. Bonus - a pub/restaurant about 50 feet to the right, and a bar about 30 feet to the left. Everyone in Garrykennedy is warm and welcoming (so is everyone in Ireland for that matter). 100 out of 5 stars.

Comfortable well located cottage

We enjoyed the cottage. It is well appointed. An inviting garden extends the living space. The cottage is very clean and any problem is taken care of quickly.. There is pub two doors one way and a restaurant/ pub two doors the other way. Garry Kennedy is a popular harbor especially on weekends. You are 6 miles from Nenagh, a town with a castle, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies etc. Garry Kennedy is about 1 1/2- 2 hours from most Irish sites. It suited us well.

Good central location

Pros: 1) The host/owner were fantastic to deal with and they give you a comprehensive guide on everything you need to know about the cottage and the area 2) The property is next to a gorgeous lake and the surrounding areas were quaint as well 3) Despite having two busy pubs within a few steps of the cottage, we were never disturbed by any loud noises 4) The garden in the back is enchanted Cons: 1) This house needs a deep cleaning. The carpet upstairs was not great with some odd stains. The master bath smelled like urine. We went to the store to buy fragrance spray to remove this odor. They also had a lot of spider webs and spiders. Again, a good cleaning could fix this. 2) This is likely a non-issue for most, unless you arrive during July and it's unusually hot. The upstairs was uncomfortably warm despite multiple fans that were there for the renter. They should consider installing ceiling fans upstairs. All in all, it was a great value for the price. I very much liked the owner and host. They were great to deal with and it is a lovely property. We were able to get to a lot of Ireland's most iconic locations in unless 2 1/2 hours.
