DARLEY COTTAGE A quick trip to Ireland took us to the town of Carrickmacross where our gg grandmother was born in 1835. Apart from being the friendliest town we visited in our six weeks in the UK & Ireland, it also provided nearby Darley Cottage which has set new parameters for B&B’s.

Had a great time beetling into town, avoiding the geese up the road, going to Central butchers for great beef, chickens, hams, eggs, black and white puddings, if you ever there ask for the local spuds, delicious.

My friends and I stayed at this charming cottage in April 2011 for two nights. We were attending a wedding at the nearby Nuremore hotel. The cottage is PERFECT. It has been beautifully decorated with all mod cons. We were made right at home by the owner Duncan who had beers and cider chilling in the fridge in anticipation of... More

While attending a wedding at the Nuremore hotel we booked Darley cottage to stay because of its close proximity. Photographs do not do this cottage justice. Its tastefully renovated, spacious and has everything you could need in a self catering capacity. Duncan was also very helpful recommending places to eat and offering to cook breakfast for us!
