A warm hearth, a quiet town,
and room to breathe.

Lismore Cottage is a carefully kept three-bedroom retreat in the quiet heart of one of Waterford's most beautiful towns. Bright, comfortable rooms and a wood-burning stove keep you close to the landscape outside.

The kitchen is set up for long, unhurried meals. The garden catches the evening light. The beds are dressed for a proper night's sleep. We've thought about the details so you don't have to.

Everything you need,
nothing you don't.

Thoughtful rather than cluttered. Every amenity has been chosen to make your stay easier and the setting more immersive.

A Proper Kitchen

Everything for a real home-cooked meal: cooker, full fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and a long table that invites lingering.

Broadband throughout, including the garden. Extend a long weekend into a work week — it won't let you down.

Wood-Burning Stove

The heart of the sitting room. Logs included. Few things beat an Irish evening beside a real fire.

Walled Garden

A south-facing garden with outdoor seating, a picnic table, and lawn for the children — private and sheltered.

Flexible Check-In

Self check-in with a secure key box. Arrive on your schedule — the cottage is yours the moment you step through the door.

Two double rooms, a twin, a bright kitchen, a comfortable sitting room, and a private garden.

Lismore —
quietly one of Ireland's
finest towns.

Perched above the River Blackwater in the Knockmealdown foothills, Lismore has drawn travellers for centuries. The castle looms over the valley, the cathedral dates to the 12th century, and the walks through the demesne will clear your head in twenty minutes.

This is a part of Ireland's Ancient East that rewards being unhurried. Pack a book. Stay longer than you planned.

"Everything was perfect and just as described. The house is far roomier than we expected with a lovely garden and no one overlooking from the back. The stunning Lismore Castle and Gardens only a walk away too. Would have loved to stay longer."
