Ireland has a lot of hidden gems, a lot not worth fighting tiny roads tho spend the 5 min to see. This one is well worth it. Off the M8 at either Cashel (take this route) or from Thurl ( a road only a very seasoned left driver should take) is this beautiful romantic Abbey of days gone past. Like the rock of Cashel these are 2 sites you must see!

I had high expectations before I had set off seeing all the good reviews on Trip Advisor, and I was not disappointed. I was wowed.
First and foremost, it was important for me to be able to ride good horses in a beautiful country side. Both were definitely fulfilled. I rode two horses both of which were good-natured and willing, and the scenery was just absolutely stunning.
For the rest: All the wonderful things have been already said here but if I could add something, it is the genuineness of the staff that stood out for me. Noel and Maike are great instructors who take their job seriously (with a great sense of humor). Jen and everyone in the kitchen were so warm and welcoming. Mark was an excellent host who passionately made sure that everyone was happy. Overall, you could feel that the place was run by a team with great collegiality. I can't wait to go back!

I live in Thurles and this place is something local. There's a library, drama centre, most of the clubs take place in the Community Center. Beside there's a swimming pool. And they're building a playground and a park at the moment. They're building a bridge across the river too. And if you walk right up the path you come to Thurles's main shopping centre, Dunnes. It's a really great place!

Lots of very interesting display's of what life was like during the famine. Has original "Gratuitious Relief Ration Record Book" (or the ‘Distribution Book,’ as it was also called,) for the electoral divisions of Holycross, Thurles and Ballycahill for 1847. Admission is only a nominal donation. If in town or passing thru, an excellent stop for an hour or less.

This is a great restaurant! The meals are so delicious, like you just cooked it yourself and they are proper portions because some restaurants give tiny portions and your still hungry after you meal.
