In the southern part of County Tipperary, near the Knockmealdown Mountains, on the River Suir, lies a little settlement called Ardfinnan. The village has a lovely open green, a few nice pubs, a store, and Ardfinnan Castle, an outstanding Norman building that dominates the settlement's centre with majesty. The bustling town of Clonmel is eight miles distant and is located close to the Tipperary and Waterford border. The town boasts a variety of stores, pubs, and restaurants to enjoy, but Magners Cider is arguably what makes it most well-known. History-rich Clonmell is the only town in Ireland that was able to repel Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army during his siege of Ireland in the 17th century. The residents were evacuated to safety utilising General O'Neill's strategies. With the majestic Comeragh Mountains serving as a striking backdrop, the neighbouring Nire Valley provides several chances for cycling and strolling. The M8 highway is not far from Ardfinnan, making it simple to travel to County Cork and Dublin. This makes Ardfinnan the ideal starting point for year-round Irish exploration.

    Terrific knowledge of the local area and must see places to visit . A quiet, quaint, extremely peaceful place to relax and unwind after a days touring around and exploring .

  • Richard

    Beautiful setting in converted out buildings on a working farm but you’d never guess, it was so quiet. Plenty of cobwebs due to the high ceiling but not off putting. (Window cleaner sorted that out)

  • Martin

    It’s so peaceful and our hosts are very caring We were fortunate with the weather too! There’s plenty to see and do when touring around. Information leaflets in the property are very helpful. Au revoir!
