The guest cottage is part of a farmhouse complex that has been carefully restored with hand-crafted woodwork and natural stone throughout. It is clean and comfortable. The cottage contains two double bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, a sitting room and one bathroom. The farm buildings surround a courtyard which features a landscaped patio with flower garden. There is also a large open, walled garden with lawn that is a great play area for kids and pets. The cottage has its own driveway and parking. There is a small patio outside the sitting room. The cottage has a small fireplace and central heating. All bed clothes and towels are included. A laundry room with washing machine and dryer is in an adjacent building. This stone cottage is the Guest Cottage to Gorman's Cottage. It can be rented separately or together with the main house for larger groups (see #1021234). The cottage is situated in a quiet rural setting surrounded by farmland. It is an ideal location for a quiet family holiday, but there are many attractions within a short drive, including the cities of Kilkenny, Waterford, and the picturesque towns and villages spread throughout the beautiful Kilkenny countryside. This is a great area for golfing, fishing, cycling, hill walking and exploring the many medieval castles, abbeys and churches dotting the countryside. South Kilkenny is also famous for its many designers and craft workshops including Kilkenny Design Center, Nicholas Mosse Pottery, Jerpoint and Duiske Glass makers, amongst many others. The City of Kilkenny is an exciting destination with a well-preserved medieval core focused on the stunning Kilkenny Castle and Gardens. It has an active arts scene with a range of galleries, studios, museums, and historic attractions. It is a great place to eat, drink, shop and explore. Kilkenny hosts several festivals over the summer months including the Kilkenny Arts Festival in August and the Cat’s Laugh comedy festival in June. The Viking city of Waterford, a short 30-minute drive away by motorway, is also a lively spot with plenty to do and see. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - No elevator (single-level property) - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48550000/48543400/48543379/4e9246d0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Restored Historic Cottage in County Kilkenny Carrickshock - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=48543379&PinnedHotelID=48543379&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33740000/33736600/33736505/97c934b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historically homely castle with stunning wall gardens, perfect for group stays Mullinahone - Pet-friendly - Gym - Tennis court - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 43 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=33736505&PinnedHotelID=33736505&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70980000/70972800/70972756/61f757c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ballybur lodge Mews1.

The property is a traditional stone building and it suited our needs with plenty of space in and around the property, the host where helpful and there where good instructions and information on most aspects of living in the cottage and the surrounding area. The cleanliness of he property was disappointing, it does appear that it is not cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis, and there are some area's of maintenance that need attention, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. ##### Steven K.

The cottage was very sympathetically restored and the bedrooms with the lovely wooden floors and windows were a joy.

Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen H. Jul 15, 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Great potential but let down by standard of cleaning When we arrived we thought the property was beautiful from the outside and the garden was well maintained. The instructions we received were to look for the black gate with the cattle grid - however after parking there, we then needed to go back out and in through the blue gate which was where the parking for the guest house actually was. A small detail, but just wanted to mention it. There was a strange smell when we entered the house - I though it was just the age of the building but we could also hear a hissing noise and about 10 minutes later discovered that one of the gas rings on the cooker was partially on and gas had been leaking for a period of time. So that could have been really dangerous, but was resolved by opening all the doors and windows. We were then left with just the musty old house smell, which is to be expected of a property of that age. We then discovered that one of the beds only had a mattress protector - no sheet, which wasn't ideal. The next day we discovered a new sheet in the cupboard so we used that - no idea why it wasn't made up correctly in the first place? My main issue was the lack of cleanliness - given that we ourselves were charged a 100 euro cleaning fee as part of the rental cost - i assume the previous tenants were as well, so I'd love to know what this was actually spent on? There were dead flies and spiders everywhere. Opening the blind on the window above the bed caused a rain storm of dead flies and bits of flies which landed on the bed. There were clumps of animal hair under the beds and downstairs. I also noticed used personal care items in the bathroom bin, a used facecloth in the shower, mould on one of the bedroom walls (very dangerous for people with breathing issues), a very dirty looking cushion and throw on the sofa. Overall, its an old property and really needs a good clean between rentals and a deeper clean every month. Dust away the cobwebs, brush up the dead flies, wash the floors, put some dehumidifier pots there to soak up the damp and some nice smelly things in to make the place more inviting. Not a property you could chill and relax in, just about good enough for somewhere to sleep when you're out and about. We definitely deserve better and will be more fussy the next time we book a holiday. ##### Karen H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Muiris O.

Mick was so kind, generous and welcoming, that we immediately settled right in and allowed the peace of his home to seep into our souls. It was wonderful to stay in a place so deeply rooted in history, so mindfully restored, and so quiet yet easily accessible to both Kilkenny and Waterford. We hope to return one day. ##### Kathleen B.

Durch die abgelegene Lage war es ruhig und so konnte man herrlich entspannen. Der Vermieter war sehr nett und fürsorglich. ##### Susanne Johanna G.

Thanks for a wonderful time Mick! ##### Leslee B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2017
