Location
With spectacular views over the waters of Lough Derg, our Pumphouse Cottage is surrounded by acres of beautiful, rolling farmland. It’s a place to go for peace, quiet and landscapes that make you smile, whatever the weather. Our house is perfect for those who want to wake up to the sounds of birdsong, the gentle murmur of cows and not much else.
Surrounding area
Sitting on the border of Co. Clare and Co. Tipperary, the house is just a mile away from ‘Lough Derg Way’, a walking route that takes you all around the lakeshore. It is just 10 minutes drive to the pretty lakeside towns of Killaloe, and Dromineer, both of which host a range of arts, music and boating festivals during the year. Our house is also just three miles from Gary Kennedy, the ancestral home of the famous US president, John Kennedy, which has changed very little in hundreds of years, and is now a centre for Irish music.
Accommodation and facilities
With the exterior of a modern Irish cottage, the interior features a large open-plan living area which opens up two storeys to the roof on one side, with a mezzanine level on the other. The cottage has wooden floors throughout, and includes two double bedrooms downstairs, a fully-equipped, modern kitchen, CD player and radios, TV and DVD (with a wide range of movies for all ages), a huge bath and powerful shower. A third loft bedroom is available on the open mezzanine level upstairs. A cot with bedding, high chair, a bottle steriliser and a range of toys and books for young children are available if required, as well as children’s beds.
In the summer, you can enjoy dinner and a glass of wine sitting outside - garden furniture is positioned for you to get the best view of the sunset. A barbecue is available, too.
Bed linen and bathroom towels are provided, and will be cleaned and laid out before and after your arrival. You can help yourself to tea and coffee, and if you’re arriving late, we will make sure you have milk, bread, and local butter and eggs to keep you going before you get to visit the closest shop (2 miles away).
