Margaret and Mark's cottage house in the country is spectacular. Old world charm with modern updates. Quiet, accommodating and the most comfortable beds we have slept on in a very long time. The individual mattress heating pads make your sleep so relaxing. This place is five star all the way. If you can rent it - do it! Nice and central to lots of attractions.

Amazing home that, as said before in other reviews, is even better in person. LOVED the renovated stone barn, LOVED our hosts, LOVED the heated beds, LOVED the tub, LOVED the resident kitty that came to visit. Be aware, that you will be cozy if you know how to build and maintain a wood stove. Otherwise, this may not be the fall/winter destination for you. Not immediately close to many amenities (food/shopping) but not far either. (by U.S. standards)

Wonderful Cottage!! The pictures do not do the cottage justice. It is a beautiful cozy place. We stayed 3 nights and fell in love with the place. If I am back in the area I will definitely book this house again. There is a convenient EveryDay store that is a quick drive, or walk to town that carries all the basic stables you will need for a few nights. The Woodstock Arms pub is a must stop in town for a pint. Over all had a great stay.

Pictures do not do the coach house justice. This place is AMAZING!!! It is so magical! Loved the stone walls, the fireplace, everything about it!! Check-in was super easy. The house had everything we needed. Dishes and pots and pans were all great. We had a minor problem and Margaret was quick with her response and solved our user error problem. We visited the Woodstock gardens, jerpoint Abbey, kells priory, and jerpoint glass blowing studio. We would highly recommend all of them! The coach house was fantastic and we would definitely stay here again!!

Spectacular service, fabulous facility

We stayed for 29 days. The hosts treated us like family! We needed converters for our C-Pap machines, cell phones and iPads. Immediately, Mark got us what we needed. We left for several days each week. Mark and Margaret turned the heat off to save energy consumption. The cottage was very comfortable. It was located for us to easily travel around the Republic. Mark and Margaret Dunne were wonderful hosts. We shared meals together and swapped stories of life in the US and Ireland.

The most charming cozy cottage!

The coach house is the coziest cottage with a gorgeous view of their forested property, especially from the lens of their “greenhouse foyer”. Walking distance the most beautiful little village of Inistioge where everyone was so hospitable and the views were breathtaking. The owners are entirely the most lovely people to chat with ever, and the Epitome of hospitality and kindness. I would absolutely book another stay with them, but for much longer next time.

Home Away From Home

Mark and Margaret’s coach house was ideal for us. We instantly fell in love with all of its charms. It’s located perfectly to create a home base and welcomed us comfortably after long days of exploring. Inistioge is a gorgeous location. If you’re looking for a long weekend with quietly stunning scenery or a home away from home, this is where you need to stay

Friendly knowledgeable hosts, excellent house in a quiet village near the great historic sites and hikes of the area. If you are looking for a place in the Irish countryside to unwind that’s still close to everything, this home in Inistioge is a great choice.

Lovely place

As described.. Hosts were very welcoming and seemed like great people. Beautiful spot. Beds were VERY uncomfortable…mattresses need an upgrade! Our mistake: we didn’t realize one has to drive to Thomaston for any food, pubs etc.. 15 minutes.. small country road with scary fast cars and trucks. Stressful driving. No dining in Inistioge. Did not go anywhere in the evening as a result. The property is lovely.. minus very sore backs in the morning!!

A wonderful place!

We were greeted by our hosts as if we were old friends. Mark and Margaret made themselves available whenever we needed them but respected our privacy, and made us feel very welcome. The stone cottage is well furnished, cozy, and extremely comfortable. The nearby area is very centrally located, and there are great attractions in the vicinity, such as the Woodstock Gardens, Jerpoint Abbey, and Kells Priory. Although we made this our base for ten days, we still wish we could have had more time to explore. We would definitely return again!
