Suir Valley Cottage lies in the heart of the south Tipperary countryside, an oasis of peace caught between ancient mountains and rolling fields. Some 200 years ago someone hoisted oaks beams onto cob walls and thatched them with straw, and since then the hearth of the cottage has warmed the hands of many generations.
Located on a family run dairy farm, the cottage is safely contained in its own world within high walls and old farm sheds and is a 5 minute drive to our local village of Newcastle.
