Indulge in a relaxing getaway at this inviting detached house, nestled on a working farm along the tranquil River Tar. With accommodation for six guests across three bedrooms, this charming farmhouse is perfect for families or a group of friends looking to explore the stunning Golden Vale of Tipperary. With a warming wood burner in the cosy lounge and a large garden, this property is perfect for those travelling with up to three canine companions.

Step inside to be welcomed by an inviting, semi-open-plan living space bursting with traditional country charm. The welcoming lounge area is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration with Fido at your feet. The kitchen is well equipped for all your culinary needs and features a handy island for meal preparation or for keeping the chef company. Enjoy sociable meals in the dining area, and after dinner, retreat to the lounge and snuggle up by the glowing wood burner. When it's time to retire for the night, choose from three uniquely styled bedrooms – one double and two twins. All bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower. Outside, you'll find a spacious garden with furniture, ideal for al fresco dining. Fire up the BBQ and savour delicious meals while your inquisitive hounds explore their new surroundings.

Embark on countryside walks to get tails wagging from your doorstep, while history hounds will enjoy the medieval marvels at the Rock of Cashel (10 miles) – immerse yourself in Ireland's rich heritage by visiting its iconic round tower, chapel, and high cross. 8 miles away, the market town of Cahir awaits with its shops, cafes and dog-friendly pubs.
