THE CENTRAL IRELAND HEARTLAND
Photos © HOME AT FIRST
 

-
          HOME AT FIRST’s most popular Irish program is here in Central Ireland where our guests stay in cottages in rural northern County Tipperary and eastern County Clare. This region is the geographical center of Ireland about 120 minutes west of Dublin and 90 minutes northeast of Shannon Airport. This is also Ireland's heartland, a region as green as shamrocks, as colorful as the many rainbows you will see there, and as tasty as Irish stew, soda bread, and a healthy glass of Guinness.

 

LOCATE COUNTIES TIPPERARY & CLARE ON HOME AT FIRST'S MAP OF IRELAND.

 

Welcome to the Irish heartland!
          HOME AT FIRST’s cottages are located in towns and villages on or near Central Ireland's great lake, Lough Derg. This region is a pretty, prosperous dairy land set among rolling green hills. Within two-to-three hours drive most of the Irish Republic is reachable, including portions of the western, eastern, and southern seacoasts, and the principal Irish cities of Dublin, Limerick, and Galway. But Central Ireland itself deserves a careful look: its lovely scenery, charming towns, numerous activities, and friendly people ensure that the central region is truly Ireland's Heartland.

 

In our customers' own words—
 
                "Florence and I are home from Central Ireland. What a wonderful experience! We are still just aglow with the wonder of it all. In case anyone should ask, it is a long way to Tipperary, but hasten to assure anyone who asks, it is well worth it."                                                         — G. & F. Wilson, Nebraska

 

Quality cottages with all the comforts of home.

          HOME AT FIRST's Central Ireland lodgings are not only wonderfully located for touring throughout Ireland, but also fully equipped, comfortably homey, and immaculately clean. Some cottages are modern; others are converted from traditional rural Irish cottages. There are even a few cottages with old-style thatched roofs. Some are located in towns or smaller villages. Others are in rural settings a few minutes drive from the nearest town or village. Regardless of style or location, every HOME AT FIRST cottage in Central Ireland provides guests with all the comforts of

In our customers' own words—
 
              "Our stay in Ireland was one of our best vacations ever! The cottage was most comfortable — charming, in fact, when we had the turf fire in the cool evenings and you added so many warm, extra touches. We especially thank our hosts for all of those personal expressions of the legendary Irish hospitality which contributed to our stay."                        — L. & C. Robinson, North Carolina
 
              "The cottage in Puckane was picture perfect and most comfortable."  
                                             
— S. Barnes & B. Brundige, New Mexico & California
