About the home

The Dannyman's Cottage is a home away from home. With an open fire and wood burning stove for colder evenings and a balcony with beautiful views of the Blackstairs Mountains for warmer days. The cottage is ideal for walkers and hikers, as local and national way-marked routes pass close by. Ample off road parking and a garden.

Rathanna is an excellent spot to base yourself in the South East as most amenities are within half an hours drive away, including the historic Kilkenny City.

Trips to the beaches of Co. Wexford can be made quite easily.

The South East Ireland / County Carlow region

Rathanna is located close to Borris, Co. Carlow, in the 'Sunny South East' of Ireland. The village itself and surrounding countryside has remained remarkably untouched by modern development. The climate is generally sunny and warm in the Summer but wetter in the Winter months (no matter the time of year, always bring a coat or umbrella!).

A daytrip to Kilkenny City is a 'must', it has its own Castle, fantastic shopping and a great nightlife. The cities of Wexford and Waterford also make good day trips with historic links to their viking pasts. There are numerous beaches in Wexford and excellent hiking and trails throughout the South East for all abilities.

The Borris area

Rathanna village is within 5 minnutes walk. Coadys pub is the focal point of village life and as a visitor to The Dannymans you are sure to attract great interest from local people!.The predominant landscape is of small fields bordered by stone walls. Most people locally are small or part time farmers and the fields are pupulated by sheep and cattle with some horses and donkeys. The roads are pretty quiet and from the front door of the cottage you may turn right or left and find yourself walking in beautiful countryside.

Borris is the next town (10 mins drive), it has all amenities guests require; Grocery shops, pubs, restaurants and an hotel. It is a very picturesque town with walking, fishing and boating available on the nearby Barrow River. There is an excellent golf course in the town and guests are most welcome.

The neighbouring medieval towns of Inistioge and Graiguenamanagh also on the Barrow are famous in Ireland for their natural beauty.

Within 20 minutes drive is Enniscorthy town with access to restaurants, cinema, farmers market and leisure centre.
