Your host and personal chef

Meet Lolly

Welcome to Rose Cottage, a delightful location for vacations, relaxing, learning and fine dining.  I really look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful part of the World.

I am your host and personal chef throughout your stay here and I am passionate about food and nature.

As founder and former CEO of Dublin café chain Lolly and Cooks, I have decades of experience in the food industry and look forward to sharing my food and local knowledge with you.

What we believe

Real Food

Organic, seasonal and local wherever possible. Sourced responsibly from producers we actually know.

Nothing wasted

Zero food waste is a habit, not a slogan. We talk about it, and we practise it all week.

Small Groups

Fewer people, more attention. Everyone gets their hands in and everyone gets looked after.

Where we are

Overlooking the Nore Valley,
Co. Kilkenny, Ireland

We look out over the Nore Valley. The village is a thirty-minute walk or a five-minute drive, Thomastown train station on the Dublin line is a short collection away, and medieval Kilkenny city is close enough for an afternoon.
