Historic Cottage Accommodation Ireland

Step back to a bygone era when you book one of our historic cottages in Ireland. Expect buckets of character such as inglenooks, flagstones and mellow beams. Thick stone walls crafted by hand centuries ago, usually whitewashed and wonderfully wonky. Kitchens may feature original ranges. Traditional furniture and décor may complement the olde-worlde look, or owners may have opted for a stylish, contemporary interior as a quirky contrast. Some of our historic holiday rentals in Ireland are Grade II listed and layouts may be a little higgledy-piggledy, so do watch out for low ceilings and doorways!

Historic attractions galore!

Discover unspoilt coast and countryside, dotted with medieval villages and epic sites. The passage tomb at Newgrange in Co. Meath predates The Pyramids. In Co. Tipperary, the Rock of Cashel was once a 4^th century fortress. Explore the world's oldest known field system in Co. Mayo at Ceide Fields, dating back to Neolithic times. Admire the famous monastery of Clonmacnoise on the River Shannon and Jerpoint Abbey in Co. Kilkenny. There's the Blarney Stone and Blarney Castle in Co. Cork, of course, promising the gift of eloquence in return for a kiss. The beautiful stone ruins of Glendalough in Co. Wicklow. Also the treacherous, rocky island of Skellig Michael, home to an ancient monastic complex. Not forgetting countless castles, grand stately homes and other historic properties and nature reserves protected by An Taisce, The National Trust for Ireland.

Delve into Ireland's past and stay in one of our historic holiday properties - the ideal atmospheric hideaway, away from tourist hordes and full of charm.
