“Sliabh gCua Farmhouse is outstanding.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2006

people found this review helpful

Our stay at Sliabh gCua was one of the nicest experiences we've had in many years of travelling in Europe. Breeda & Jim Cullinan have a comfortable, immaculately-kept home in a beautiful country setting. Touraneena is so small that it isn't on many maps, but it's about midway between Clonmel and Dungarvan. There are sights to see-the gardens at Lismore, Cahir castle, Cashel & Kilkenny; but it was idyllic just to walk the country roads around Touraneena, picking blackberries as we went.

The food was exceptionally good, and there were plenty of breakfast options apart from the traditional eggs and meat (smoked salmon, cheeses, yogurt, fruit, hot and cold cereals...). When guests returned to the farmhouse at the end of the day, Breeda & Jim greeted them with cake and coffee. They were truly gracious, no matter the hour or the situation. All the guests we talked to felt, as we did, that staying with them was a wonderful bit of luck.

Stayed August 2006

“Best of the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2006

When we arrived we were offered tea and coffee, but warm apple pie with freshly whipped cream came out of the kitchen for my husband, three children, and me. It was homemade and perhaps the best we've ever had. The rooms were impeccably decorated and quite reasonably priced.

Most of all - Breeda was absolutely lovely. She and Jim were very welcoming and Breeda drew maps for us that showed places for my husband to hike and where to get the best dinner.

I hope we get a chance to go back again soon. We stayed in castles and guest houses all over Ireland - and this was our favorite.

  • Liked — hospitality
  • Tips/Secrets — spend a few days in the area - it is in the middle of the country but Dungarvon is as beautiful as Kinsale although perhaps more overlooked by tourists. There are great restaurants in Dungarvon also.
