The cottages are exquisite and surrounded by beautiful countryside.
The facilities are great. After spending many nights in different hotels it was good to stay in a place that felt more like home. We liked the space and freedom that the cottages provided, much better than being confined to a hotel room. As we did not feel like self-catering the owners provided us with suggestions on nearby restaurants, one of which was truly amazing and became our favourite of the holiday.
The owners are extremely helpful ensuring that guests have everything they need. They provided a better class of service than I have experienced in some 5 Star Hotels. They have an abundance of local knowledge which they are happy to share with their guests. This was great as we were able to experience the true beauty of Southern Ireland exploring quaint little towns as well as the tourist spots of Cork, Killarney, Cliffs of Moher and many other beautiful places that we may not have otherwise come across had we stayed on the main roads. It was also helpful to be told where to visit weather permitting, for us this meant that we did not waste valuable holiday time travelling to Dingle only to find we could not see anything due to the bad weather.
Darragh Cottages is a great place base for exploring the sites of Southern Ireland

This was our third visit to Darragh Cottages .We were in a different cottage from our previous visit and found it to be as charmingly traditional as the other cottages.Although traditional in style all modern conveniences were provided and we had a very comfortable stay.Mitchelstown is a short drive away and has an excellent supermarket so once stocked up all that remains is to relax in the beautiful, peaceful surroundings.We enjoyed long walks,sightseeing,a round of golf ,reading and good eating and peaceful sleeping.BLISS !

These cosily equipped cottages are surrounded by open green space: the scenery is gently beautiful; the only sounds are of the birds, the breeze in the trees, the lowing of cows and the occasional tractor. The hosts are friendly yet discreet - there when called upon but they do not intrude.
This is a place to come to unwind, finish your novel, enjoy the company and conversation of good companions. The pub is 200 yards away and there are no streetlights, which allows you to count the stars.
This is not a place for people who are easily bored and cannot amuse themselves.

I have stayed at the Darragh Cottages 7 or 8 times since 2001. I love being there. I have gone alone and I have gone with family members. I have family in the immediate area.

This is the real Ireland. I have traveled to many parts of the Country and always love coming back to this quiet, beautiful spot. You are paying for the solitude - and it is a bargain.

It is not fancy, but it is cozy. It sits on top of a hillside, with amazing views of the green hills, grazing sheep and cattle and ever-changing sky. You are on your own here, but that is why you would stay out in the country instead of in town. You need a car and a love of exploring. There are ruins, prehistoric stone circles and ancient settlements, castles, great restaurants and classic Irish culture within a short distance of the Cottages.

The Boylans are gracious but not hovering. You don't stay at the Darragh cottages for the TV reception or laundry room. Dress warmly, no matter what month you go and bring your walking shoes.

You go to the Darragh Cottages to get away. In the process you can find yourself.
