  • "The Humble Daisy is the most beautiful cottage we have ever stayed in when visiting Ireland, both inside and out were beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated."

    Mary Rose was a lovely host and the cottage was beautifully decorated, with extra bonus points for the wonderful Christmas decorations. The showers were powerful and hot, the beds super comfy and the sitting room with the open fire was the perfect place to relax in the evening. I'm a big fan of cooking when on holiday and the kitchen had all the basic utensils and pots you need if you want to cook whilst you are away although the electric hob takes a bit of getting used to if you haven't used one for a while. There were some basics like tea, coffee (including a Nespresso machine and a cafetiere), oil and vinegar, salt and pepper and a few herbs. Mary Rose also left a welcome bottle of wine which was much appreciated. Further afield we went for some amazing walks in the hills and forests around the lough and would totally recommend it to anyone who wants a beautiful cottage to relax in for a few days.

Woodford 6 miles.

This stunning, thatched detached cottage, dating back to the 18th century and boasting some wonderful original features, is situated adjacent to the owner's home, just 100 yards from Lough Derg, 6 miles from the picturesque village of Woodford and 10 miles from Portumna in County Galway.

Lovingly restored by the owner to a very high standard, this wonderful Woodford cottage is nestled in a quiet hamlet at the bottom of a winding country lane.

Combining its traditional character with modern features, this beautiful cottage offers a bright and airy kitchen with dining area, with double doors leading out to the private rear patio; step out here in the mornings with a cup of coffee and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this lovely countryside location.

Walk out of the kitchen through the original hall, into the original parlour with its exposed walls and warm woodburner; perfect to relax in front of, watching the TV or curled up with a good book.

There are two double en-suite bedrooms downstairs, and one even features the owner’s grandmother’s piano.

Upstairs from the parlour is a spacious mezzanine level with a table and chairs to relax by the window and enjoy the views, a bathroom and a twin bedroom.

A short stroll from your Woodford cottage leads you onto the majestic Lough Derg where you can take the owner’s rowing boat out for a romantic picnic, enjoy a spot of fishing, or simply relax.

Alternatively, the more energetic can go cycling or walking to explore the local area.

Your lovely Woodford cottage is close to many activities including golf, horse riding, walking and watersports, and attractions such as Portumna Castle, Portumna Forest Park, Birr Castle and the cultural city of Galway, also within easy distance.
