In the early 2000’s we (Alfie and Margaret) moved from Dublin to rural Tipperary.
Our smallholding consists of 5 acres on which we grow pigs, sheep, hens, ducks, occasionally turkeys and as much fruit and vegetables as we can. The rest of the family includes our three dogs.
In 2012 we started our B&B journey, and over the ensuing years have met so many wonderful people from all over the world.
Ours is a small bed and breakfast with 3 rooms available that can accommodate max. 6 guests. We are just 2 hours from Dublin and Cork, and an hour from Galway or Limerick. All of this makes us a perfect destination for a short break, or a ‘staycation’.
What you can expect
It is with great pride that we can tell you that breakfast during your stay is definitely homemade and mostly organic ingredients grown here. You can opt to join us for dinner ‘in the kitchen’ during your stay. Once again, all home-cooked, probably home-grown and definitely organic. We can cater for most dietary requirements, and have built up a repertoire of vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and keto recipes so just let us know if you follow any dietary plan.
Wide open spaces to explore, and peace and quiet is guaranteed, away from the hustle and bustle, here in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.
Just come, sit back, relax and watch the grass grow, or as darkness falls admire the beautiful night skies with no light pollution to spoil the view. Sometimes we are lucky enough to be able to spot the International Space Station pass over. We promise to send you home fully re-charged!
Tempted to make a break for it? Email now to enquire about availability, or check out our rooms.
