Self-Catering Accommodation

Our Cottage, which is adjacent to the Farmhouse, has been 4* rated by Failte Ireland  (the Irish Tourist Board).  It combines the feel of a cosy, country cottage with all the modern facilities that help to make your stay a real holiday.  
The layout of the cottage consists of a combined kitchen/living/dining-room and the two bedrooms lead off this main area.
The kitchen has a fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and  washing machine.
The cottage has electric heating which is charged according to usage. 

The cottage can be rented out with
1 bedroom en-suite with shower room accommodating  2  people (containing 1 kingsize bed or 2 single beds, zip and link).  There is also a 1.5m sofabed in the living room.
or
2 bedrooms - a second bedroom containing 1 double bed and 1 single bed, en-suite with shower room.

Well behaved dogs are welcome in the Cottage or we can provide seperate kennels 100m from the Cottage.

Bed and Breakfast in the Cottage
The cottage is adjacent to Kilmaneen Farmhouse and it can be let for 1 night or more on a bed and breakfast basis with the option of dinner.  Guests are invited to take their meals in the dining room of the Farmhouse. This facility often suits guests that would like to use the facilities in the cottage such as the washing machine and cooking facilities but would also like the convenience of having breakfast provided and maybe dinner also.  
We do not normally provide daily housekeeping with this arrangement.

Evening meal is available each evening except Sunday.  Please book dinner in advance 

Frommer's Guide Ireland 2005
"As you drive to Kilmaneen, you will be pinching yourself to guarantee you're not dreaming the mountain vistas before your eyes.  This small gem of a B&B has recently been recognised as such, winning national top accommodation honours.  The location is breathtaking.  The rooms are spotless and beautifully appointed."
