Further details for this vacation cottage rental in County Laois, Ireland

The River Barrow’s headwaters have been the birthplace of millions of salmon and trout since time immemorial. The tributaries are worth investigation while the best of the local Barrow trout fishing starts close to the town of Mountmellick and on to Portarlington where a series of ripple runs and pools are a permanent home to plenty of wily large brown trout. The Boherbawn River between Monasterevin and Athy is an excellent fly fishery. Evening dry fly fishing in these areas can be most exciting and very rewarding with cagey wild brown trout the main quarry. Best months are May through to August. As the river veers past Monasterevin the water flow slows dramatically but can still provide reasonable sport.

The River Nore and its tributaries are a delight to fish as they flow east through Castletown and on to Durrow before taking a southerly course for the Waterford coastline. It is a noted dry-fly fishery with good stocks of brown trout thriving in fast flowing shallows, over weirs and speeding through long deep glides. Also Lake Fishing in Castlecomer Lakes, Ballinakill Lakes and Stradbally Lake.

Tulip Cottage

SherryJ Cumberland, BC, Canada
Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
What a fabulous place! Pictureque in every way, it was a wonderful experience to stay in a unique 300+year old cottage. Easy sight-seeing during the day - we loved Kilkenny, lots of ruins, Limerick, the Cliffes of Moher and the Burren. We then came back to warm up with a turf fire in the stove before taking a walk down to the Swan pub. The Kettle family was lovely. Staying at the Tulip Cottage help make our trip to Ireland absolutely perfect.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying here. The cottage is beautiful and the surrounding countryside was picturesque. It was in a central location for sightseeing in many regions of the country and the owners gave us helpful information on the surrounding areas. I would recommend a stay at this cottage to anyone!
