We have stayed in crown cottages twice and each time it was delightful. Friendly hosts (and children). Perfect place to get away from it all. But within easy distance of kilkenny should the need arise- not to mention mount Juliet. Jim and Kay kelly

magical location, peaceful surroundings. The loveliest guesthouse we have ever stayed, so quaint. The owners were very accommodating & friendly. We took option to dine at cottages on the Saturday night & would recommended - food was delicious, I would go for lasagna. Salad was scrumptious too, & all homegrown organic- could not believe it!!Eva

The cottages are situated in a lovely shaded courtyard which just sets the tone of the place-quiet and relaxing. The houses are well furnished and the location is just stunning with the walled garden the highlight for many. To top... More

We stayed at croan cottages for a part of our honeymoon. Niamh was very welcoming and it was nice that they left cava and chocolates for us on arrival. Fantastic unique experience being on a farm.
