Great farm experience

We have just enjoyed 5 nights at Nell's Farm. The house was very comfortable and quiet. The owners Gerry and Mary were wonderful hosts, both were welcoming and friendly and were more than happy to give us lots of their time to discuss the history of the house. Gerry was happy to tell us all about the dairy farm and what is involved, we even got to milk some cows..great fun! The local area is beautiful and Mary was happy to give us ideas on things to do, there are great walks in the area and the house had a folder with lots of ideas and information. We would recommend Nell's Farm, it was a pleasure to stay there and to get to know Gerry and Mary, the cows and the dogs Duke and Ricco!

Stay was great , it is an active dairy farm, which was great for us but should be taking into account. Mary and Gerry were great. We are in Ireland for 3 weeks and finding that is not long enough to fully enjoy each area

Lovely week at Mary and Gerry’s

This unspoilt farmhouse is ideally situated for the greenway multi purpose track to Waterford and Dungarvan. The property has a hot tub which we used and loved whilst there. The double bed was very comfortable. Mary and Gerry were lovely hosts and made us very welcome. They were very helpful. We would highly recommend. Thank you

Ireland Vacation 2023

I stayed at the property with my three 12 year old triplets. We loved the property. The kids took full advantage of the hot tub almost every night. We all took advantage of lighting a nice fire nightly. The property was clean, plenty of towels were supplied. The front garden was cute, I sat and read my book listening to cows moooo. (lol) it did not bother me or the kids it is definitely an active farm. I would recommend the property and I would stay again.

We enjoy staying at working farms and this placed us right at the doorsteps of one.

Both Mary and Ger were welcoming and so accommodating to all our questions. We loved being able to see the dairy farm in action. A lovely stay and accessible to near attractions.

Tremendous views and lovely farm

This was the highlight of our two week journey through the Country. Ger was quite accommodating in showing us around the farm, telling tales of the community and its history. The house was well appointed, comfortable and accessible. Hot tub was icing on the cake. Yes this is a working dairy farm with the associated sights and sounds but I believe that was a great deal of the charm. Would strongly recommend and will likely return

Semaine détente et éducative à la ferme

Nous sommes resté une semaine dans la location. On savait que le logement était dans une ferme mais nous avons été surpris d'être aussi proche. Cela a fait le bonheur des enfants qui ont appris pas mal de choses autour de la production laitière et ont aussi été participé. La maison est rustique et à son charme d'avant, malgré tout on s'y est plu et avons trouvé nos habitudes rapidement. Gerald et Mary ont été très accueillant, sympathique et disponible tout au long du séjour. Le lieu est situé proche de plusieurs chemin de randonnées et lieux à visiter. Le magasin le plus proche est à moins de 10km pour les courses. Nous serions prêt à revenir pour un autre séjour car nous avons l'impression de ne pas avoir pu tout faire et visiter aux alentours De plus le spa en fin de journée après une bonne journée de marche était un bonheur.

Rustic Farm House not what's advertised

The house has all the character and style you would expect from a rustic farmhouse with some modern features such as a hot tub, central heating and WiFi. While they mention these upgrades, it was not what one would expect. The heater is on a timer and if you are older and have thin blood this is not for you. The shower mentioned for mobility challenged has nothing to lean on, it's an open area with a shower head. It's drafty - can't imagine using in the dead of winter. The back patio was okay, but do understand you can see one of the barns and yes you will smell the aroma of a dairy farm. Lots of flies as well. The hot tub was not working - it would have been nice to enjoy. It is a working farm and if you need something you need to call the owners. Which might be fine, if it was occasionally, but when we realized this would be a daily thing we decided this was too rustic and too unpleasant to stay. The property was remodeled for use in 2009, but you can tell over time things have changed. Not sure but I think some of the cobwebs had been there a while. If you like fires and don't have allergies then this will be fun. You want off grid you will enjoy, but if you think you will have some of the basic necessities that you get in a home versus a hotel room not so much. There needs to be a book of instructions on how to operate all the appliances, the heater, the showers and even the toilets. At every VRBO property we have ever stayed at there is always a book with instructions, phone numbers to the owners, plus other area numbers of importance. Nothing to wash the dishes with, again dish towels are not the best option. No tissue – to blow your nose use toilet paper. This location was such a disappointment we left after spending two nights there.

Beautiful Country Property, very happy holiday!

We had a fantastic stay. The property is a bit off the beaten track, but it is fabulous. We had some fresh milk from the cows in the yard & enjoyed the hot tub every evening. Mary is very accommodating & I’m sure if we had any problems (we didn’t), she would’ve sorted it out ASAP. Would definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Flynn

We have been farming on this property since 1973. We have a large dairy herd and all their followers. The property is situated in the farmyard and there are farming activities taking place throughout the day. Guests are welcome to view the milking cows (children must be accompanied at all times).

We have a great interest in how people lived long ago, how they worked, what they ate, how they played.

Why they chose this property

This property is over 200 years old and was refurbished in 2008/09. It belonged to Gerard's Aunt Nell, hence the name Nell's Farm House.

What makes this property unique

The house is situated on a working dairy farm at the foot of the Comeragh Mountains. The Mountains contain many beautiful lakes and maps are provided for the various walks. The house was renovated to include many modern features such as fitted kitchen, power showers but while still retaining the old features such as shutters on the windows, high ceilings, the open fire.
