“Hi. We had a great time.”

Only thing is that the bunk beds were very high and stairs to upper room very steep so we put our 5 and 6 year old in same bed, lowest bunk bed. The local shop had everything except fresh meat. A brilliant walk area next to the tennis courts. Puckane was a very central location. Would definitely come back!

“Spotless Hidden Gem in a beautiful location”

We are just back from a brilliant stay in Lough Derg thatched cottages. We checked in 9/6/19 for 3 nights. We arrived at 3pm and were greeted by Noel who welcomed us and showed us around our cottage(Number 7). We paid a €50 deposit for electricity. We stayed for 3 nights and the total cost of electricity was only €14. Noel was extremely helpful throughout our stay. We used the bbq hut on our first evening and it was just brilliant. We sat out and enjoyed our wine as the kids had plenty of space to play football and run around freely in a safe environment. The cottage was immaculate. It was fully furnished and everything was spotless. The location had plenty to offer. Nearby is Nenagh, Dromineer, Killaloe and Limerich City is only a 40 minute drive. There is a fully stocked shop across the road from the cottages as well as 2 pubs. There is a local playground to amuse the kids and also a tennis court next to the cottages. The cottages are big in size. Ours could sleep 8 people although there were only 3 of us. Some of our family came to join us for one night while we were there. We are already looking into booking a trip back to these cottages again. In m opinion a real hidden gem!!

“Excellent Bank holiday weekend stay”

Had a fantastic bank holiday weekend in "The honeymoon" cottage! (luck of the draw we got it! But have previously stayed in the standard ones. The cottages are gorgeous, really cosy with everything to make your stay pleasant. we used the BBQ hut one of the nights, it's fantastic! On arrival, Margaret had left a key for us as we we're going to be later than expected. She came took an electricity reading and we gave a €50 deposit. On departure she took another reading and calculated the cost, €7! Considering we used the electric heater a good bit, dishwasher, kettle non stop and the cooker I was expecting at least €10 so this was a nice surprise! The beds are so comfy and made up for arrival which was great. All around this is a great break away. There would be much more to do locally in the summer on the lake. We headed over to Doolin (1.5hours drive) to take a boat trip out to the cliffs of moher and visit Fr. Ted's house. Margaret and Noel are lovely and there should you need any help at all. looking forward to another visit again!

“Friends get-together”

We stayed in number 4. The house was lovely. TJ, Margaret and Barbara (i think that was her name) were really nice and helpful. The bedrooms were really warm and cosy. We lit the fire both nights which made the frontroom area warm too. There was two pubs in the village. These were both nice. The local shop also had loads - fuel for the fire, necessities and plenty of alcoholic beverages. The lake is a short drive away too! The electricity for the two days was very good too. Overall it was a steal!

“Perfect for our party the night before our wedding”

We booked out all of the Lough Derg cottages to host our pre wedding get together. Jeff & TJ were really helpful and accommodating. During our stay the staff could not do enough for us. Some of the cottages have been renovated but still retain their old world charm. The location is perfect as its right beside a shop and pub so had all that our guests required for the occasion. The green space is perfect especially for children and also the BBQ space is well done.

“A great visit”

We had a great time staying for 3 nights at these cottages with our 2 grandchildren. The accommodation was great and Margaret made us feel very welcome she suggested a couple of places to visit like Dromineer and Killaloe which were great with lots to do. The only downside was the Wi-Fi signal in number 9 was very poor.

“Idyllic cottage, lovely old Irish style, with everything supplied to make it a home from home.”

From the moment of booking, I found the team who run the cottages to be very helpful. Puckane village is an ideal base to explore Lough Derg. The cottage we stayed in (number 5) was lovely, and had a welcoming feel. The sitting room with its high ceiling was cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was equipt with EVERYTHING you could possibly need (even down to a flask for bringing hot water for picnics). The beds were comfy, with lovely soft pillows. The setting is in an idyllic little village, so sitting out on the bench outside in the mornings is a lovely way to start the day. We stayed for 3 nights, and on our last day Barbara told us not to rush to leave, so we had the comfort of using the house for a base for the full day. We will definitely be booking again. 3 days wasn't long enough

“Great spot for family get together”

We recently rented 3 of the cottages for 18 family members and everyone had a great time. The owner TJ gave us a great welcome on arrival and Margaret was brilliant from start to finish. The tennis court nearby is in superb condition (small cost of 4 euros to use) and its easy to a have a football kick around on the green outside the cottages. The pub and general store across the road are so convenient to the cottages. Nenagh Golf course is nearby (about 10-15 minutes) and we had a game there with fabulous food after the game. The village of Puckane is quiet with really friendly locals and in a way, its like a step back in time staying in the cottages in such a lovely little country area. We travelled to Dromineer which has beautiful views and access to Lough Derg and we also had a meal in The Thatched Cottage Bar in Ballycommon which was top class.

“Old World/Nostalgic/Excellent Accommodation”

Absolutely stunning, beautiful thatched cottages nestled in the quaint village of Puckan. Margaret greeted and warmly welcomed us - she is an absolute gem - so warm and kind. The cottage itself far exceeded our expectations - it was spotless, roomy, comfortable and charming - with all mod cons (washing machine / dishwasher / shower / heating, etc.). Steve (maintenance man) swiftly and efficiently rectified a wee hic-cup, followed up by a phone call from Tim, a co- owner - who profusely apologised for any inconvenience (there was none). I simply cannot recommend these enchanting cottages enough. We will return - in the not too distant future. A pub is literally across the road, beside a convenience store. The cottages have a beautiful green where it is very safe for children to play, kick ball, etc. Our dog certainly enjoyed his stay too (your family pet is also very welcome here). A park and tennis courts are located alongside the cottages too. Drive the Lough Derg drive, take a boat trip from Dromineer to the monastic Holy Island... loads too see

“Highly recommended”

This is an ideal cottage to stage at if you want a feeling of real old ireland . The people who owned it and run it were outstanding . They really couldn't do enough for us . We brought a wolfhound dog with us and it was no problem for them to accommodate him! The cottage itself would sleep 7 very comfortably and the fire and living was really authentic . We will most definitely be going back ! Highly recommended !!

“Quintessential Irish cottages, ideal central location!”

I just got back from my first stay in these cottages and I can't recommend them highly enough. They are exactly what the mind conjures up for an Irish cottage, thatched roofs, pristine whitewashed walls and colourful half doors. Inside, the idyll continues. My cottage was sympathetically furnished and the accommodation was comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The staff were friendly and efficient, the locals were welcoming and the village is picturesque, with two excellent pubs and a well-stocked convenience store. The location makes a great central base to explore the whole of Ireland, and Lough Derg is just ten minutes away. Perfect! I'll be back!
