Thatched Cottage Full of Art & Atmosphere

Greenville Cottage is part of my home, a stone built thatched cottage dating back to the early 1840s. It was built by my Great Great Great Grandfather Martin Maher. His brother James also resided at the property, in the quarters where I live with my husband and three children. James and his family emigrated in the late 1840s, to the United States, settling in Greenville Ohio. The Cottage accommodates four guests, having two bedrooms, the Parlour Bedroom and the Loft Bedroom, and one bathroom, as well as a small but functional kitchen and the living/dining room we call "The Aula" . We are very grateful to the Heritage grant that facilitated the re-thatching of the back roof in recent years and will soon be applying to rethatch the front of the cottage. We are also in the process of restoring the old stone walls and grassing areas in our own yard , situated beside the cottage. Guests can enjoy looking at the beauty of this craftsmanship of thatch while eating in the Orchard Garden, snugly situated at the rear of the house, and available to our guests.

The house has many examples of art, mostly by local artists, photographers and crafts people who are our friends, which guests can enjoy, and the interior design of the cottage is of an exceptional high standard. I live right next door with my husband and three boys - and our two pet dogs. The boys love to play in the front yard and the dogs can do a little barking when they want food (and lots of tail wagging!), but they are friendly and welcoming.

We have our own rural country well, so we advise guests to be please be sparing with water use as the cottage is traditionally designed with a small tank, in respect to it's heritage. If there is heavy rain or drought, the water can get discoloured for which we apologise.

Old houses can be very hard to dust to an exceptional high standard, as some of the walls inside are natural stone. The also attract the odd harmless spider.

My blog is also available on line if you search 'Greenville' and 'blog' in Co. Tipperary.

Denise is a beautiful, friendly, considerate and very welcoming landlady. Her home baked Irish breads are fantastic. We were there ten days and she baked bread for us on three separate days as gifts. Absolutely delicious. We won't hesitate in staying at her beautiful self contained property again. Any future stays in Tipperary, she will be our first port of call. Thanks Denise, you are amazing.

Two weeks of tranquility!
I’ve always wanted to stay in a thatched cottage, and this delivered! I’ve also wanted to experience life in rural Ireland. Denise was wonderful in pointing us to authentic places, walks and experiences that we’d never be able to find elsewhere. This two week stay was fabulous.

Quiet and rustic
Lovely old cottage with nice features and quirky ornamentation. It is lovely and quiet and it was nice to sit outside and hear nothing. Complete silence, could not even hear any cars. Great location for getting about too, close enough to the motorways. Cottage could be a bit chilly as the weather wasn't the best but I guess that's getting used to a different style of living. Only comment was it could have been cleaner. Although the spiders are a part of the furniture it was a little dusty, but that's a minor blemish. We'll worth he cost of staying.

Old Style Cottage
Quaint cottage in peaceful setting. Denise welcomed us with lovely bread and cheese. They were quick to make some changes to the cottage that needed attending to (new toilet seat and door lock). Other than that, quiet.

Quirky country cottage
Traditional cottage with 'mezzanine' second bedroom. All facilities adequate. The charm of the cottage lies in its eccentric mix of modern art and shabby chic decor. There are family mementoes, books, bric a brac etc everywhere! The owners live next door and are very caring and helpful.

Nice break away
This is a warm and friendly cottage to stay in that is unique with its thatched roof, interesting art, and a loft styled fun bedroom for the older child, teen or adventuresome adult. The main bedroom is spacious with a very comfortable bed. The sitting room is comfortable with a cozy fireplace, generous sofas and a dining area. It's old cottage styled living with enough conveniences of the modern day such as wifi, fridge freezer, cooker and generous sized bathroom. We enjoyed our stay as it gave us a nice base to do some local hiking and exploring in nearby areas including the Devil's Bit mountain and a few other walking/hiking areas.

Lovely cottage with lots of character and enough space for us to keep caught up on work and plan our adventures. Denise left us with a most delightful loaf of her soda bread which we enjoyed thoroughly. Great location for visiting the south and Offaly areas
