The Golden Vale market town made famous by a marching song, with the Glen of Aherlow and the Galtee Mountains close by.
Tipperary town grew up as an Anglo-Norman settlement, its motte and bailey still visible today, before developing into the nineteenth century market town seen now, with some of the country’s more decorative Victorian shopfronts along its main street. It sits in the Golden Vale, the rich dairy and beef pastureland that spreads across Tipperary, Limerick and Cork.
The town’s name is known worldwide through “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary,” a music hall song written in 1912 by Jack Judge, whose grandparents came from the county; it went on to become one of the best-known marching songs of the First World War. Tipperary has since built a modern reputation for peace-building through the Tipperary International Peace Award and Peace Convention, whose past recipients have included Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev.
For a B&B here, the Glen of Aherlow, a sheltered scenic valley beneath the Galtee Mountains, is just a few miles out and good for walking, while the Rock of Cashel, one of Ireland’s best-known historic sites, is a short drive away in Cashel.

Booking Ach na Sheen direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed guest house
Ach na Sheen holds a 2-star guest house rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
