Avis Thatched Cottage with Hot Tub walking distance to Hugh's Pub.

Thank you for being our guests. We are very glad that you enjoyed your stay and time in Kerry.

Cottage Mary Rose is situated in the Cordal Valley with a private garden and stream behind the cottage. All of the pictures show exactly what to expect. A charming cottage with antique furniture mixed in with more modern. The cathedral ceiling in the hearth room gives it a spacious feel. The parking is indicated on our site and clearly notes that it is across the road from the cottage. Keep in mind this is a farm road so not wide. It is called The Olde Butter Rd. And I wouldn't say that it is busy, but it is used. Although the cottage dates back to the mid 1700's the amazing central heating, increased water pressure, inside Jacuzzi tub and hot tub on the deck take this humble cottage to a different level. We look forward to having you as our guests!

Cottage Mary Rose has been hosting and delighting guests for over 21 years and is a VRBO Premier Partner. We brought tourism to the Cordal valley and the locals have embraced it and the people that visit. All of our photos show the cottage as it is including the interior and the exterior. Also in the description it gives all of the information. This does include the parking which states that it is across the road. There are False statements in the guest review and of course we want to bring them to your attention. It is a farm road that we are on and not a busy street. The parking is not at a cemetery. It belongs to the church which is up the road. So where our guests park is in front of a 5 ft. wall and an open, grassy field. The small cemetery is up the road nearer to the church. From inside the cottage grounds there is a 7 ft. tall dense hedge and it is extremely private. Many children have loved the cottage gardens which surround the cottage. My son was 7 when we first bought the cottage and loved exploring the grounds. Many children have called it the Secret Garden. The comment about the ravine is False. There are pictures of the ravine and stream taken from our very secure deck that has a solid, protective railing. It runs the complete length of the large deck where the dining set and hot tub are. Next to the deck and running the length of the property is the original stone wall that is about 4 ft. high. On the other side of this is the neighboring field. The entire property is surrounded by hedging, rails or stone walls. We are on other rental platforms that require annual safety inspections and have passed every time. The bathroom light does work and the guest must not have realized that it is a dimmer switch. Of course if anyone ever has concerns or questions one of our staff is always available. Our caretaker lives right across the road from the cottage. The en-suite bathroom is in the photos and although on the smaller side, it is suitable for adults and has a massage shower. The main bath mentioned above has a Jacuzzi tub and a rain head shower. Please note that unlike other lodgings, we have increased water pressure for excellent showers. In regard to the decor, once again all of our photos show each room and the furniture for our guests to enjoy. And we do provide luggage racks in each one of the bedrooms. In all of the years that we have been welcoming guests, our ratings have been outstanding. When I first heard there was an issue was in a voice mail that she left me. The guests said that they didnt like the parking and they were leaving. She also asked if there would be any way to get some sort of a refund. According to the VRBO policy, we were not required to issue any refund. However, I wanted to refund the cleaning/prep fee. VRBO said that was up to us. I messaged the guest through VRBO and informed them. Much later that day, she also wanted 2 nights refunded.. We had already been generous enough and I did kindly state this. We could have easily rented the cottage out for this time to someone else. Most people embrace the charm of one of Ireland’s last remaining thatch cottages and really appreciate its historical value. Cottage Mary Rose is on Record of Protected Structures. This prestigious list is to protect these significant structures because they are such an important part of Irish history. Please take time to read our other reviews. We are always happy to answer any queries. Kind Regards, William Harty,
