Renting in Clonmel

Gael23

Anyone know anything about Love Lane Close?

It would be about 20-30 minutes walk to Abbot. It's an awkward cul de sac that means you have to walk out onto Prior Park Road and on to the bypass.

OP I'm astounded you haven't found a place in clonmel given the glut of property available. I'm presuming you dont have a car..would you consider using a bike so you could widen your search? While i appreciate the 12 mth contract thing there's bound to be someone delighted to take you under the rent a room scheme.

I think the op has some very strict criteria. Needs to be near Abbott due to no transport, 6 month contract, landlord who won't have a problem with student. But they don't seem to want to live in certain estates because of a preceived notion that they are dangerous even though people who live there have reassured him. They were also on another forum asking on advice about moving in with someone who was 35 as he thought they'd be too old :rolleyes: I think there are plenty of properties in Clonmel that would be suitable but he seems to be looking for the perfect one.

Anyway op I hope you've gotten something sorted by now.

I've now started to look a bit further down town so that might open up a few more options. I was hoping for somewhere on the cashel rd so I could walk to work but thats not too easy.

I have options but not quite sorted. That was me on the other forum. Something just didnt sit right with me about that house, probably stupid but thats how I felt.
Im hearing really mixed things about the area ard caoin/ dromeala. Some people say its fine and others say its absolutely not. But your right, the main problems I have are not being able to drive and the length of time.

I think Love lane close is actually near the cashel road roundabout.....Love lane leads out onto Prior Park Road but the end of the lane was up near the cashel road before the by pass (inner relief road) was built which cut the lane apart...so the top of the lane is called love lane close and is very near abbott !!

(as far as I know anyway..its those house right beside the roundabout)

You are right! It's a little lane that goes in to the left as you are near the bottom of the Cashel Road heading towards town.

That's just down the hill from Abbott op.

If you've no transport, looking down town is pointless. That hill is steep and a royal pain in the ass to walk up, never mind if it's wet or freezing as it probably will be over next few months. To be honest, it's only 6 months, does it really have to be your dream home??

Been here 7 weeks now. Got a place in Ard na Sidhe in the end. To be honest I don't see much of the town itself, been down there once or twice at night and that's about it.
Only bad thing is the hill up to Abbott, not nice every morning,especially this week when it's been freezing!

Hope you find the people friendly, and that you can enjoy the valley on Slievenamon when the weather improves. As people sometimes say " life is not a dress rehearsal" so enjoy it as much as you can.

How are you finding living in Ard Na Sidhe?

I used to live there myself. You should walk into town some more, it's not that far of a walk and it's good to see a bit of the town.
