“Beautiful”

This cottage is fantastic. It is clean, tidy and welcoming. The facilities are fabulous and there is plenty in the kitchen for all your cooking needs. Bridget, her sister, Billy and James are all so friendly and welcoming and always happy to have a chat.

This cottage is fantastic. It is clean, tidy and welcoming. The facilities are fabulous and there is plenty in the kitchen for all your cooking needs. Bridget, her sister, Billy and James are all so friendly and welcoming and always happy to have a chat.

The lane going to the cottage is narrow and you do need a car to get here, but it is well worth it. Also, don't let the unmanned crossing put you off because it is so easy to do and it's quick to get into a routine with it, and the location is too ideal to miss out on! Also it is literally at the bottom of a mountain so it is so easy to go for walks, and you are close to St. Peacauns church as well which is worth a short walk down the lane.

“The cottage is beautiful; and is in such an idyllic setting.”

The facilities for the cottage were superb; the kitchen is very well stocked with everything you may ever need for your cooking needs! It was very clean and tidy. Bridget was very helpful and was more than happy to give us ideas of where to go on day trips and around the local area. I'd definitely go back again.

“We had a problem with another cottage and were rebooked here by Sykes on New Year's Eve.”

This way, we not only discovered a beautiful town we'd never have been to without the change: The Evergreen Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. Peaceful and quietly located right in some woods that almost feel like a tropical jungle. All the facilities and equipment you might wish for are available, the cottage gets warm in winter and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The hosts (Bridget and her husband) are perfect and care about your well-being. Best of all, they managed to perfectly accomodate us even on the short notice given to them by Sykes. It's also conveniently located to explore Cahir and its castles, has some good supermarkets nearby and is perfectly located to explore most of southern Ireland. We would certainly return and can absolutely recommend this cottage!

“Fabulous”

I recently stayed at Evergreen Cottage with my mum and son and I want to share my experience. On arriving at our destination we were met by the owners Bridget and Billy Bourke who were very friendly and instantly put you at ease. Driving up the narrow country lane to the Cottage you have a delightful stream and clusters of wild flowers, mainly daffodils and coming from Wales this was a pleasant surprise. The Cottage has a very homely feel about it and we benefitted from the NEW fully equipped modern fitted kitchen, and bathroom. The kitchen table is situated next to a large window where the sun stream in first thing in the morning. I enjoyed many early morning cuppa watching the wildlife in the field. Both bedrooms are very comfortable with lovely antique furniture. The sitting room has the added feature of a coal fire that can be used should you need, but the Cottage was always very cosy. Behind the Cottage is a forest walk and we enjoyed a ramble around and came across the waterfall that runs down into the stream. It was beautiful. Bridget, Billy and their son James were always happy to stop for a chat should you want. They advised us of some of the surrounding attractions that were worth a visit, we did and they weren't wrong. I am looking forward to my next visit.

“Ireland's beauty culminates with Evergreen cottage and it's adorable hosts”

The best part of Evergreen cottage are its hosts. We feel in love with Ireland beginning with Bridget and Billy Bourke and their son James who runs the farm bordering the cottage. Despite arriving slightly ahead of schedule, we received a lovely warm reception. The Bourkes were gracious, friendly and helpful. They always had a free moment to chat to ask about our day which made us feel so welcome. The cottage itself is very comfortable and extremely quiet and private. The kitchen is well-equipped and although the cottage is not new, the facilities are more than adequate. We enjoyed the hiking trails immediately behind the cottage with forest walks to the top of the Galty mountains right on your doorstep. We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay. Evergreen cottage represented good value for our money with the privacy, peace and natural setting we were looking for. You will need a car to stay here but stores and the local town are convenient. Evergreen cottage is an ideal location from which to explore Ireland. It is centrally located with most popular destinations within an hour's drive. The best part is then coming back to this comfortable and peaceful cottage to rest up for the next day's explorations. Thank you to our hosts for making us feel so welcome. Ps- James has an adorable dog named Galty who we grew very fond of. He has to be on a leash because he has a dangerous habit of chasing things. Galty asked me to request that future guests bring him dog biscuits, he would appreciate that very much.

“A really delightful place to stay.”

We had a great welcome and everything was fully explained to us on our arrival. The cottage was comfortable quiet and peaceful, you could only hear the birds singing. It was in a good location not far from Cahir which had all the amenities needed. We were able to explore the beautiful countryside in Tipperary and down to the Ring of Kerry. There was nothing to dislike about the Cottage itself or the location.
