Adare owner Eamonn Ryan says restoring roof on house was a labour of love, despite it costing more than €30,000
‘There was 10 of us reared in this house’ – Eamon Ryan who owns a Thatched Cottage in Adare
The cost of roof repairs is generally the last thing homeowners want to hear about. However, for Adare resident Eamonn Ryan restoring the roof on his thatched cottage in the picturesque Co Limerick village was a labour of love — even if it did cost more than €30,000.
While the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor is over two years away, the heritage village is already in preparation mode and Mr Ryan has taken inspiration from the past to ensure his cottage on the main street, which he lets to holidaymakers, looks much the same as when it was built in 1828.
