GARDEN COTTAGE: EXPERIENCE THE COMFORT AND TRANQUILITY OF AN IRISH COTTAGE STAY
The Garden Cottage is everything you’d hope for in an Irish cottage stay, providing the space, tranquillity and comfort needed for a memorable family getaway or a special gathering with close friends.
Thanks to its westerly-facing position overlooking the walled orchard, the cottage is filled with natural light throughout the day. The interiors are cosy, calming, easy to relax into.
Comfortably sleeping six, the cottage offers one double and two twin bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath or shower. The layout is especially thoughtful for families, with one twin bedroom located beside the double, making it perfect for those with younger children.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area sits at the heart of the cottage, fully equipped for everything from slow breakfasts to laid-back suppers. The wood-burning stove adds to the air of homeliness, making it just the place to gather, cook, and unwind.
And when dinner is over, retreat to the cosy sitting room to play games, share stories, or curl up with a favourite book to the backdrop of the gentle glow of the fire. You’ll enjoy all the comforts you’d expect from an Irish cottage making for an authentic, homely, and deeply restful stay.
In warmer months, stroll through the orchard to the nearby tennis court or wander the meadows and woodland trails surrounding the estate, ideal for unhurried walks embracing the calm of the whispering trees. Return to enjoy meals on the sunlit lawn, laid-back barbecues, and time outdoors enjoying the evening sun.
This is one of those rare places that feels both spacious and snug – an Irish cottage retreat designed for peaceful moments, long conversations, and memories that stay with you long after you leave.

What Our Visitors Say
We had a fantastic stay in the cottage, it’s very cozy and comfortable with many thoughtful touches. Beautiful and woodland areas for scenic strolls that we all enjoyed. Carol-Anne is a great host, very helpful and accommodating! Highly recommend for a relaxing but fun filled few days!
We just wrapped up our week long stay at the adorable Mews Cottage and have to say it was a wonderful experience! The cottage is super cozy and comfortable with all the essentials, it’s in a beautiful location, and there are plenty of things to do nearby. Carol-Anne and her husband are top notch hosts: responsive, attentive, and friendly. They both went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience while staying on their estate! If your trip takes you to this area of Ireland, I highly recommend this cottage and host!
A lovely cottage set in beautiful surroundings of the Clonalis estate. The location is on the doorstep of Castlerea town centre, with the benefit of supermarkets and cafes within minutes of your front door. The location though feels a world away from the town, as there are huge grounds to explore with river and woodland walks all part of this historic home. The rooms are spacious and traditionally decorated, and we made use of the wood burning fire. Carol-Anne kept in touch throughout our stay and ensured we were well looked after. It’s a unique place to stay, with the feel of being rural but also so close to the town and has all that you need from a holiday home.
An absolutely stunning location. As you enter through the gates and head up the sweeping drive, you immediately feel you are heading somewhere exceptional. Carol-Anne greeted us, showed us around the accommodation and then recommended local things to do, places to eat. She delivered fresh farm eggs one day and another homemade cookies and shortbread. This was a lovely surprise and incredibly tasty. The accommodation and grounds are stunning and we can highly recommend.
We’ve just returned from a spectacular stay at our cottage – wonderful hosts, idyllic surroundings, homely and beautifully presented cottage, with thought gone into every detail – in summary – a haven of peace and tranquillity to enable you to unwind and relax but only a stone’s throw from the shops and restaurants of Castlerea and Ballyhaunis! An A star experience and we will certainly be back. Thanks to Carol-Anne.
We had a wonderful time, there is plenty to see within short driving distance and the estate itself has a great walk through an enchanted forest. Several large grocery stores are nearby. The host and her entire Family were very lovely and helpful, with fast and proactive communication. The cottage features all amenities described and has a homely flair. Thank you for the great week, we hope to be back!
We had a lovely family holiday here. beautiful woodland walks nearby. the house was perfect for us, lots of space everything you would need. lovely fires and toasty warm considering the temperature outside was freezing! the hosts could not have done more for us. very friendly, very responsive and just generally lovely people. excellent value for money. would definitely recommend staying here.
Can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay at the stewards house was. Carol- Anne was really lovely to deal with and contactable all the time and checked in to see if everything was ok … brought freshly baked cookies to us on a few occasions (tks so much) . Stewards house was home from home with every special touch needed especially for Christmas which made it so cosy .. The surrounding were breathtaking and peaceful exactly what we loved most about our stay .. we will definitely be back and tks so much for being an amazing host 💕💕💕
This property is the perfect location for a country escape. Set in beautiful surroundings the two livings rooms with warm fires and cosy couches made this a perfect setting for a relaxing Christmas break catching up with friends. Carol Anne was really helpful throughout our stay.
We stayed at the Steward’s House for one week over the Christmas period. We were two families with a mix of adults and children. The cottage was even better than expected. There are two living rooms, each with a wood burner and there was an ample supply of wood to last the duration of our stay. The facilities in the cottage are first class and there was even a dog bowl provided! We walked each day into the nearby town where there are pubs and cafes as well as two large supermarkets. The cottage was already decorated for Christmas when we arrived which made for a really welcoming environment. Carol-Anne responded to the few queries we had within minutes and we will definitely return to stay at Clonalis again the next time we visit Ireland. Can’t recommend highly enough.
