Tickles Cottage in a beautiful Rural Setting

10/10 Excellent
"Such a lovely cottage in the best place, Mintaro. If you want peace and quiet, gorgeous surroundings this cottage is perfect. Lots of room and smells for my dog to explore. The house was so warm once we got the fire going, although there was other heating options if you wanted. The cottage was both welcoming and cosy. A very short distance to Mintaro and so close to the wineries of the Clare region. Communication with the host was very good. The house was spotless. Will definitely stay again."
