The Best Way to Stay with us
The whole GUEST house, yours alone
Mon Petit Cottage was built in 2022 and was awarded five stars by Fáilte Ireland the following year. Most weeks we run it as a bed and breakfast. But the house was built for gathering — and when one group takes all of it, that's when it does what it does best.
-
Three 24m2 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
-
An open guest kitchen you are free to use.
-
Two living spaces, indoors and out.
-
A garden with benches and chairs to admire Mount Leinster all around
-
A pétanque court on site for hours of family fun
-
Bunclody's Main Street is a five-minute walk down the road.
-
Everything else — the mountains, the Barrow, the beaches, Kilkenny, Glendalough — is a comfortable morning's drive at most.
Why Rent the Whole House?
If there are more than two of you, taking the house entirely isn't just nicer — it works out better in almost every way.
1 — Nobody else in the house. No shared living space, no strangers at the next table, no keeping your voices down. The front door, the kitchen, the sitting rooms and the garden belong to your group for the length of your stay.
2 — Better value together
One price for the whole house rather than three rooms booked separately — and with a full guest kitchen at your disposal, you're not paying restaurant prices three times a day.
3 — Your own timetable
Breakfast when you are ready. Children to bed early, the rest of you up late in the sitting room. No sittings to make, no schedule but yours.
4 — Plenty of space to actually be together. Two living areas, a dining table with a mountain view and a patio with a large picnic table. Space to spend the evening in each other's company rather than sitting on the end of a bed.
