Reviews for Little Orchard at The Cottages

Cottage Review logo

Meet the owner

Liz & Roger Pickett

Roger and I took two years out to renovate and update The Cottages Ireland to the highest standard that we wanted for our Guests, our criteria was to create a cottage experience where we ourselves would love to holiday. Each year we continue to upgrade both the cottages and the gardens to provide that extra special environment for all who stay. Roger as an Engineer is totally at home with all the upgrades and I am ever happy with the interiors and cottage gardens, which I am delighted to say are a constant source of pleasure for all to enjoy. Together with our long established and valued Team, we are here to Welcome you and ensure that your holiday is one where magical cherished memories are made. We live here at The Cottages ourselves so it's very much 'A labour of love'. We look forward to welcoming you to your home away from home. As they say in Ireland "A stranger is a friend you've yet to meet"
