Share on FacebookAre you dreaming of a holiday where you can explore the charming countryside of Kilkenny, Ireland, without leaving your furry friend behind? Look no further than Croan Cottages, where we welcome you and your beloved pets with open arms to our pet-friendly accommodation. Nestled amidst the rolling hills and scenic beauty of Kilkenny, our cottages offer the perfect retreat for both you and your four-legged companions. With our dog-friendly policies and a commitment to providing a safe and comfortable environment for all, your next adventure awaits at Croan Cottages.
At Croan Cottages, we understand that your pet is a cherished member of the family, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as yours. Our pet-friendly accommodation is designed to cater to the unique needs of both you and your furry friend, ensuring a memorable and stress-free experience from the moment you arrive.
Key to our pet-friendly ethos are our rules for bringing pets, which are in place to protect the safety and well-being of all guests, human and animal alike. Firstly, we kindly request that your pet remains on a lead at all times when outside the cottage. From the moment your car door opens until they are safely inside, this simple measure ensures that our resident free-range birds are protected from any unwanted encounters. At Croan, we’ve unfortunately lost too many of these feathered friends to ‘well-behaved family pets’ in the past, so we appreciate your cooperation in keeping them safe.
While we understand that for many, pets are accustomed to sharing beds or lounging on the couch, we kindly ask that dogs refrain from venturing onto furniture or entering any of the bedrooms during your stay. This rule may not suit everyone, and if it doesn’t align with your pet’s habits, we completely understand if you choose not to bring them along. Our priority is to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all guests, and we appreciate your cooperation in this regard.
Furthermore, we emphasise the importance of never leaving your dog unattended on the property at any time. Whether you’re heading out for a day of sightseeing or dining at a local restaurant, your furry companion should accompany you or be safely looked after. For your convenience, a local kennel is available to accommodate vaccinated dogs on a daily basis, providing you with peace of mind while you enjoy your holiday activities.
In our commitment to maintaining the pristine condition of our accommodation, we take a photo or impression of your credit card at the start of your stay as a damage deposit. While we understand that accidents can happen, any damage caused by your pet will be charged accordingly. From chewed chair legs to scratched surfaces, we strive to ensure that every guest enjoys a flawless experience without incurring unexpected expenses. It’s worth noting that a chewed chair leg or couch may be a minor inconvenience at home, but it could cost you hundreds of Euro to replace in a holiday rental, so we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
But it’s not just about rules and regulations at Croan Cottages; it’s about creating unforgettable memories with your furry companion amidst the stunning landscapes of Kilkenny. Picture yourself exploring the lush countryside with your dog by your side, breathing in the fresh air and soaking in the tranquility of nature. Whether you’re strolling through meadows, hiking along scenic trails, or simply relaxing in the garden of your cottage, every moment spent at Croan is a treasure to be cherished.
And when it’s time to unwind after a day of adventure, our cozy cottages provide the perfect sanctuary for you and your pet to relax and recharge. With spacious interiors, comfortable furnishings, and all the amenities you need for a home-away-from-home experience, you’ll find yourself settling in seamlessly and embracing the laid-back atmosphere of rural Ireland.
