Stunning lake view countryside Irish property. Cozy and comfortable.

Deep comfy sofas and a large round table make relaxing and entertaining easy. Sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms upstairs. 1 king bedroom with en-suite with large walk in shower and a twin with large single beds and en-suite with bath with shower over. Extra wc & basin downstairs. Patio, extensive garden, lake and woodlands to explore on a beautiful property in Co Limerick.

Well located to explore the South of Ireland with loads to do and only 2 hours to Dublin by train. Lots to offer locally, half day or day trips (I will be happy to help if you need guidance). 30 mins to Limerick city, 1hr to Cork city. Both offer plenty of history, culture, good food, pubs and craic! Our local town Kilmallock (1 mile) has a good supermarket, butchers, pharmacies, pubs etc and Charleville is a bigger town , approx 10 mins away, with 4 supermarkets (including Lidl & Aldi). Adare is 30 mins , known as Ireland’s prettiest village and is a lovely place to visit.

We run a thoroughbred horse stud farm in this stunning location. It is beautiful and peaceful. A perfect place to relax and unwind . Enjoy the views, walks round the lake and through the grounds, tennis court (we can provide racquets and balls). For the more adventurous we are close to the Ballyhoura hills with Mountain biking and hill walking, There are riding centres, zip wires centres, go - carting, water adventure park and much more to keep you busy too, all within about an hour.

The cottage is detached and we live in the main house. We will give you plenty of privacy but if you need any help - just ask! We are really lucky to live in such a fabulous place and hope you will come and enjoy it too!

Our second visit to the Cozy Cot this time for my mother’s 90th birthday. We absolutely love it here and the house is amazingly spacious and grand. Surrounded by trees, parkland and in view of a lake, the sound of birdsong is deafening and I picked up a few new ‘life list’ birds on my Merlin app. It is easy to feel at home straight away and a very relaxing place to stay, thanks to the welcoming hospitality of Tabitha and family. We will return again!

This property is a unique gem set in beautiful green parkland and overlooking a serene lake. Entering along its winding drive makes you feel as though you are coming home to your very own country house. Inside the rooms are large, light and comfortable, and there is a fabulous view from every window. We felt very much at home immediately and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house is well-equipped with everything you need to create a home-from-home and help you to settle in quickly. Tabitha is very friendly and welcoming and always very responsive to any requests or queries. Lovely hosts in a fantastic part of the world. We will be back!

Cozy Cottage is an amazing place to stay. And we had a difficult time leaving. It is a beautiful home with a view of the lake, swans, sheep and cows. The accommodations were perfect. Tabitha (our host) is a wonderful woman who provided eggs, homemade bread, jam, butter and milk for our first meal. We loved the dogs that would visit us. This location is easy to find and there is a lot to do in the area. We enjoyed the Friars Abby in Kilmallock and Lough Gur. We plan to return. Hands down one of the best places we've stayed.

Idyllic

This was a beautiful, idyllic property. Absolutely lovely and quiet with lake (with swans). Easy check-in, clean, comfortable, and spacious. All the basics included in the kitchen plus more including breakfast supplies. We used this as a base for various trips throughout the south, and it was so lovely and welcoming to come back to each day. We were sad to leave. I highly recommend.

It is a delightful cottage on a stud farm. Very peaceful. Access to small town nearby for shopping. We visited the Dingle Peninsula and other places on the west coast though they were quite far away. Thoroughly recommend it for the peace and quiet and beautiful srroundings

Unbelievably fabulous

The house is charming, well equipped, a 'starter kit' was provided to get you through your first morning. All situated in an idyllic landscape. Rescue swans with cygnets, chickens, geese, guinea fowl and a lovely trio of dogs kept us company. Super chill stay!

Idyllic place

This is a very special place to stay. Beautiful house with everything you need while on vacation. It has a very unique atmosphere where you feel instantly at home. The grounds are simply outstanding. It’s like waking up in a magnificent private park. It’s a perfect place to base yourself if you’re planning on day trips or even better if you plan on staying put. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Tabitha, her family and all their animals are a joy to behold. We hated leaving and are planning on coming back

Beyond Amazing!!!

This property is truly beyond amazing. The accommodations were extremely comfortable. The amenities that the host provided were perfect for our needs. Eggs bread milk on hand for our first meal. The location just outside Kilmallock (a beautiful historic town) was perfect for day trips to Tipperary, Limerick, Cork and Kerry. We felt very much at home with the wonderful hostess and especially enjoyed the visits from Fizzy, Munchie and Crumbles - the pups!! The views of the lake including swans and horses in the distance was a super addition. We highly recommend this quiet yet convenient location and we hope to have the opportunity to return in the future. We give it 5++++ stars.

Short University Tour

Our HS Senior daughter became very interested in attending University in Ireland after a good friend in the year ahead of her came here from the states to study. This cute cottage on the beautiful grounds of a horse farm in the Irish countryside outside Limerick/Adare provided the perfect jumping off point for looking at NUI Galway, Limerick, and UC Cork, with a very cozy home base to return to each evening. Tabitha had the fireplace set up for easy lighting and electric blankets on all of the beds, and the sheep, swans on the pond, and the Guinea fowl who would wander up on the back porch during breakfast really created a very restful, bucolic vibe. It worked out really well for our purposes and I expect it would be a great place for anyone doing a lot of touring who’d like to relax out away from the hustle and bustle each evening. Thank you Tabitha and team!

Not a small cottage.

The Cozy Cot is a delight. It’s quite a grand house for a cottage. Gorgeous views from the windows, loved the fowl outside. Lovely walks. Killmallock itself isn’t much of a hot spot but it’s a great location for visiting many things relatively close by. Lovely to arrive to milk, bread and eggs (& other cupboard staples).

Amazing

Let me start out by saying the house is not new. It has its quirks. So if you are the high maintenance type, this isn’t for you. But if you’re not, this is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The house is old and very cool. Like stepping back in time. The property around the house is absolutely amazing. Huge grass fields, places for long walks, chickens running around, swans in the lake, a rowboat to take out on the water, and just an overall beautifully tranquil place to be. You feel like you’ve stepped into a movie set. On top of that, a very responsive host. Welcoming and very friendly. But then again, that will be almost anybody you meet in Ireland.
