We absolutely loved out visit to Clashganny and definitely intend to return. The house was fabulous, decorated to a very high standard. Loved the layout of the house. Absolutely loved the location and the privacy. Loved the walks along the river Barrow walked every morning to Graiguenamanagh and even ventured on to St. Mullins one morning (we did get a lift back to the house!!) Highlight of our trip was Kayacting in Clashganny with Go with the Flow we thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing nicer that a cup of tea and fab brownies from the "horsebox" in Clashganny after Kayacting. We also made a visit to our neighbours Clashganny House - a beautiful meal. There was loads to do walked the Viaduct in Borris, had a picnic in the playground in Borris and had a lovely lunch in the Step House Hotel. We took a lovely boat trip in Graiguenamanagh with Riverboat Adventures, drove up Mount Lenister and went further a field to the the beach in Mauricecastle and of course paid a visit to Lawlers for lovely pizzas Also visited JFK Aboreum & Lookout and JFK homestead and Newross swimming pool. Overall a fantastic trip to the 3 bedroom House at Clashganny Mill we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

    It was like home from home! The cottage was very cosy, comfortable and it had everything we needed. Barbara, the owner, lives onsite and she is there should you need advice or anything in relation to the cottage. The cottage is about 30 minutes from Carlow town by taxi which is doable but something to factor in should you be interested in going out while there. We would happily stay here again!

    We couldn't have been more comfortable in this beautiful spacious, cosy home. Barbara our host was so welcoming and full of advice on places to visit in the area. Our fridge was full with the essentials for our breakfast 🥞🍳 🥓 🍅 🍞 milk etc, and the kitchen was well stocked with every utensil, dish, pan etc. The Courtyard Cottage is surrounded by a beautiful garden with lovely fields and meadows in view beyond which made for a very peaceful and relaxing break. We will be returning in the not too distant future. 😊

    This is a lovely, cosy lodge in a picturesque location with everything you need for a short stay. Communication with the owner was easy. The lodge was spotlessly clean and the small kitchen was really useful so we could eat in if we wanted to. Super comfy bed. And lovely to meet Spud the dog on most days too!

    We really enjoyed our short visit to Cooper Hill. The cottage is in a great location only 10 minutes from Carlow and in beautiful countryside. Janine was a great host and went through everything we needed to know. We will definitely return next time we’re in Carlow.

    The cottage is very cosy and has all the equipment you need for a holiday. The landlady and landlord are superb hosts who picked us up at the bus station in the late evening and provided us with home baked scones and other groceries. We can highly recommend the Cut Limestone Apartments Riverside Lodge.

    The cottage is set in idyllic surroundings within the beautifully kept grounds of a lovely country house. It is extremely well-maintained and equipped with everything necessary for a relaxing stay. The extra large bed is very comfortable and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Barbara, the host, left a welcome pack which included all the ingredients for cooked breakfasts. The little courtyard in which the cottage is situated is a real sun trap and very private.
