Stepping through the door is like stepping back in time - and yet all the modern conveniences have been added in unobtrusive ways. The space is beautiful, warm, and inviting. Sleeping up in the loft is a magical experience, listening to the birds as you fall asleep. The property is beautiful, surrounded by gorgeous scenery. I look forward to staying there again soon! ##### Gina G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristopher M. Mar 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Wonderful Cottage When we were planning our trip to Ireland, we knew we wanted to experience a bit of everything; which of course included a thatched roof cottage on a farm, and The New Thatched Cottage was absolutely perfect. We felt like we were transported back in time while still having everything modern that we needed right there. The grounds were beautiful. The horses were so sweet, and the cabin was perfectly cozy and comfortable. Our only hiccup was the slippery wood just outside the shed. I took a little tumble and banged up my knee, but I’m alright. Overall, I would love to stay here again and again… and just avoid that wood step 😅 Thank you so much for making our Irish cottage dreams come true! ##### Kristopher M. Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jayne S. May 14, 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Pretty cottage but mixed experience The property is in stunning countryside & has a flat, well-cut lawn - ideal for our two dogs. The bed in the downstairs bedroom is comfortable & the shower hot & powerful.However, there were negatives of our stay which Sonia’s acknowledged efforts to give dog walking options & to ease departure didn’t wholly ameliorate.-We had the cottage’s Eircode & the code for the electric gate, but not where to find the keys.-Once inside we were assaulted by the smell of frying. The kitchen seemed covered in a film of grease, including the microwave’s interior.-Segregating rubbish into appropriate categories would be helped by providing separate containers rather than 1 black sack & food waste caddy.-Laminated signs & Post-it notes all over the house told us that all switches & sockets must be turned off when not in use and that heating & lock settings must remain unchanged (the latter being enforced by Sellotape on both door locks). Sonia has probably had bad experiences with guests, but 1 or 2 signs would do.-Sonia has expenses to cover to maintain her property (largely tax deductible?), but the cost of a week in New Thatch Farm is twice that of larger/better equipped holiday cottages.I know that we are not the 1st to write a negative review (Catalina Aug 2022 & Yohanan Oct 2022 on another booking website), but we hope that this review is taken in the spirit intended. So future guests can enjoy this historic cottage & that Sonia’s life is as stress-free as possible. ##### Jayne S. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robin W.

Sonia has meticulously updated this authentically Irish farm house with a perfect balance of modern convenience and rustic charm. Worked perfectly for our party of 4 adults just wish we could’ve stayed another night or 2\. There’s so much to see in the area but I promise you’ll have trouble leaving the property. Thanks for the beautiful memories, Sonia! ##### Beth H. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Penelope G.

If you are looking for a truly Irish escape this is the place for you. The host so kindly helped us with a change in travel plans, even left us some fresh eggs and authentic Irish bread, butter and jam. the house is so thoughtfully updated and outfitted. Everywhere you turn there is something delightful to look at or to read. We sadly had to cut our stay short. If we have the opportunity to return to Ireland this house will be high on our list of lovely places to stay. ##### Penelope G.

It is charming and we had a lovely time watching the cows. The house was larger then we expected. Definitely worth a visit and O’Neill’s is the coolest hardware store & worth the short drive down the road. ##### Shannon F. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodie B.

It is a beautiful renovation that takes you back in time. The property and the countryside and the garden are magnificent. It is a little bit off the beaten path but it is exactly what we were looking for. It is 10 minute drive to town ,grocery store, and restaurants. Beds were very comfortable. Sonia was an amazing host and brought us eggs from her own chickens. Good communication with host. We had a discrepancy in the booking details ( which i think was probably my fault)but Sonia was very accommodating. If I could give this place a six star I would. If you can fit this into your road trip itenerary, you absolutely should. ##### Jodie B.
