Great Location for Day Tripping the Region
We used the house as a home base for day trips in the region-worked out perfectly. Cozy house at the end of a very quiet, dead-end street. Host is responsive to inquiries and assistance with the house.

Tidy well appointed house in quiet cul-de-sac
Location was really convenient. Good local pubs. House was tidy and well appointed. Good back yard for children. Bathroom has some mould issues, which I am sure Colin is aware of and trying to rectify. Easy to park in the street. We would stay here again.

Perfect location & peaceful area.
Stayed here while visiting family. Beautiful quiet area while close to shops etc. I would definitely recommend this accommodation which was very cosy and clean. The host was very helpful and prompt with any queries. It was a very smooth check in & check out process. Hopefully we will be able to return soon.

Nice place for a small town stay
The property was great, very easy to use, clean and comfortable. The pots and pans were scraped to within an inch of their used-to-be non-stick lives. That and the edging bits of shower mold were the only disquieting parts of the stay. Neither stopped us from using them.

Quintessential, heartland Ireland!
The O’Shea’s have a gem with this house. Quiet. Quaint. Well apportioned rooms. Gorgeous views of mountains, valleys…. A real dream for those who desire the ‘off the beaten path’ or rural Ireland. (No one outside the town will have heard of Kilfinane btw) There is not enough room in this page to describe how lovely this house was. Many thanks!

Love this house! After staying in tiny apartments during our 10 days traveling in Ireland it was nice to have so much space to spread out and relax. 3 bedrooms and all the kitchen appliances you could need! Plus a washer and dryer!! Super clean and perfect location to walk into town.

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay in this lovely and comfortable house which is set in a lovely quiet cul de sac. Not far from Charleville & Mitchelstown where you can find all the necessities and various shops. Based in great central location to visit Limerick, Cork, Tipperary and Shannon.

Beautiful area
We were based here for 9 days while exploring the area. Google and Apple maps had a bit of trouble with the location, better when using the Irish name for the street. Pitted and worn concrete steps up to the house need some attention, mattress in larger bedroom needs replacing or at minimum turned but otherwise we enjoyed our stay here and would likely return. Good kitchen area, good washer, good shower. Very comfortable space.

Great place for a family vacation
We stayed in this lovely place with our three kids. The house was nice and clean and in a good location (nice quiet street with cows grazing on a nearby pasture but still very close to a supermarket). There were also a number of board games and DVDs to keep you entertained on a rainy day. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it.

Absolutely wonderful little house, a real home from home.
My family and I had an amazing time in Kilfinane, The house was exactly as we imagined it, a home from home, in fact my daughter practically stayed in 'her room' lol. It's also the perfect base if ur exploring Ireland, but for us, the best thing was coming back to our 'home' as we called it :) Colin is extremely easy to talk to, and is an excellent host and his uncle Walter is also a lovely man. We had a little mishap (our car broke down, and we left the house keys in the car) I rang Colin, explained this to him and was put to ease straight away, Uncle Walter drove round and gave us his set, so thanks again. Everything u need is in this little gem of a house, Oh and also it's a very hot house, U literally do not need the heating on, it's that hot! Lol. Thanks again Colin for allowing us to stay in ur lovely home. Meg :) PS.. The back bedroom has THEE most comfortable mattress I've EVER lay on, literally did not want to get out of bed lol

Highly recommended. Great village, views people and cosy house. Every thing we needed or wanted.
We loved our time in Kilfinane. The house was perfect for our needs. 2 double beds and 3 single with an option for a fourth single which we didn't need. 5 minute walk to the village for groceries. We were there during Covid restrictions but there were 2 pubs open and the grocery store and 2 take away's. Our 1st evening we went to get food at Tasty Bites and the pub O'Shaughnessy's allowed us to eat in their open space in the back. The owners were really accommodating and friendly as were all those we met. Another night we got food at Mollys and went to O' Shaughnessy's again to eat. Of course I also had a pint. There are lots of places that are easy to get to from Kilfinane. We saw Mitchelstown cave, Cahir Castle, the Rock of Cashel, Ring in Co. Waterford and Cork city. We didn't get to Limerick city or Kinsale which are also easy day trips. We liked Kilfinane and the surroundings so much we spent 2 days exploring locally which I would advise. There are some beautiful views and towns all around. We found Ballyhora apple farms and had a quick tour around saw where they make their vinegar and got a quick explanation of the process. We also got to hear their future plans. We bought apple juice (apple with beets and apple with parsnip) and loved it. The owner Colin responded immediately when we had a question. We had difficulty getting the heating working so messaged him. He had Walter, fun sweet man, come over to help us out and we had heating for my California children who had jet lag. The house heated literally within minutes and was really cosy warm the rest of our stay. we were a little disappointed not to be able to use the fireplace but that's a law for rental properties, not up to the owners. I would highly recommend renting from the Colin and Louise in Kilfanane.

Wonderfully appointed accommodations in a quaint Irish village
My sister and I used Colin's bungalow as a central location to explore the wonders of this land and the people in it. The bungalow had everything we needed and more. It felt like home. If we had a question or needed help Colin was quick to respond. He sent Uncle Walter to show us where the dryer was located when we were at a loss. The beds were extremely comfortable, the shower had great pressure and the information book was extremely helpful in figuring out the appliances. The smart TV has Netflix if interested, the WiFi had a strong signal. The village of Killfinane is absolutely adorable. We loved diving into its history and meeting the lovely people. The Glen of Aherlow is gorgeous. We took day trips to surrounding towns and out to Killkenny. As the driving felt a bit treacherous, we decided to move our base to Ennis on the last night to visit Doolin and be closer to Shannon Airport for our departure. Overall it was a trip we will never forget, and we feel very lucky that we were able to stay at Colin's.

Perfect home base for exploring Munster (Limerick, Tipperary, Cork, Clare)
Colin and Louse's property was freshly renovated, clean, had everything needed to prepare meals, sleep comfortably, enjoy a movie, etc. It was quite central for all our road trips - we went as far as Cork/Kinsale/Cobh, Cashel/Cahir, Waterford, Limerick and up to the Cliffs of Moher, all within a 1-2 hour drive. It would have been more than adequate for a whole family, though there were only two of us. Very satisfied, and would love to come back!

It was very nice, the only thing that would have been nice to know is that the water is shut off in the whole town at night and turned back on around 8:00am. We had flat tire on a Sunday at around 6:00pm, nothing was open. We called Colin and he was great, he called his Uncle for us an he went way beyond what we expected.

It was very nice to come back to after a day out traveling. Much nice than staying in a hotel.
Was clean and comfortable. Any issues were handled right away. One thing I would have liked would be to have some information about events or things to do in the Kilfinane area. Such as favorite local pubs or hiking trails that are nearby or favorite castles to see. Other than that it was a nice place to come home to.

excellent property, a brilliant place to stay when back home.
The property was in a cul-de-sac, very quite with lovely view at the front, within easy reach to what the village had to offer, which is plenty, including a local hero (Patrick) who helped me get my car open after locking keys in it, The bungalow was spacious with plenty of room for the six of us and visitors. The kids loved it and didn't want to leave, we wished we could have stayed longer, it was like a home from home. Just what we wanted, everyone was very nice and helpful towards us and made us very welcome. Thanks to colin, etna & husband and the lovely lady that collected the keys.
