Peaceful cottage near a charming town
Simple studio cottage in a quiet rural area near the charming and historic town of Lismore. Convenient distance from Waterford and coastal towns, as well as more inland towns of Cahir and Cashel. Friendly host Emil provided a comprehensive list of sights for day trips, restaurants and events, and instructions for the property. Good walking trails from both cottage and Lismore.

The Inn at Glencarin
I was there for an event Ironman Youghal, our stay here was a perfect base for that purpose, 25min Drive to the event was perfect, then very nice to drive back into the peaceful countryside away from the hustle and bustle, but very central to get to everything else in the area, we loved our stay here, Emi the owner was very inviting despite the fact he was away on holiday, his communication was impeccable, we felt well looked after even without him there, as his property is on the same grounds as the apartment, Our Stay was lovely

A very nice quiet place to relax
Lismore is a very nice town with good restaurants, a castle and gardens. The "2 Towers" are worth a visit and if you like whiskey, the "Blackwater Distillery" is a must. Emi is a very good host. We were very satisfied.

Beautiful Ireland
Staying in our self contained unit with Catherine and Emi was wonderful. Beautiful views,tranquil surroundings and such kind and thoughtful people. We stayed for a month and felt we could easily have stayed twice as long. We have been travelling for six months and this was by far the happiest part of our holiday, we hope to return in the future.

Glencairn relaxation
Everything was as described, no issues whilst there and Emi is pretty much immediate with his responses to any enquiries we had using wasapp. Plenty of hot water heating as needed, no real terrestrial tv but wifi was very fast and apps for catchup tv were abundant. Emi was very helpful but never intrusive, always taking the opportunity to ask if we needed anything. We had a thoroughly relaxing stay so peaceful and quiet and the clear skies made for some incredible star gazing. For the price you can pay for a comparable property, The Inn is an absolute steal really you couldn't ask for more tbh
