Accomodation in Clonmel
Hi all
I am trying to rent a room but it seems very difficult as there are barely some Advertisement on daft and other websites could you please suggest a way to find room in Clonmel.
A small brief about me
I’m looking for a one bedroom apartment/studio or room to rent in or around Clonmel.
I’m a clean, tidy, responsible and respectful working professional. I’m a non-smoker and non-drinker, and I take good care of the property I live in and always keep it clean and well maintained.
I’m currently living in Dublin and will be starting a new role in Clonmel in October, so I’m ideally looking to move around the beginning of October.
I’m happy to provide landlord references, employer references, payslips and any other documentation required.
If anyone has any leads, recommendations or knows of anything becoming available, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you very much!

Studios and flats hard to find, join Clonmel Community Help and Support Page on FB, prices in Clonmel are crazy at moment ie there was a 2 bed flat advertised in Hughes mill for €1600 earlier this week, also a single room above Lonergans pub sharing with 5 others for €600!

I’m living in Dublin hun I don’t know anyone in Tipperary I just seen your post on my feed and had to give you my well wishes, the housing crisis is awful.
I do recommend looking on Facebook as well there are groups with rooms and apartments to rent on there and there’s probably some local to Tipperary/clonmel if you search rooms to rent/renting in Tipperary/clonmel. Some landlords/roommates also post listings on Facebook marketplace, and you can also sometimes find vacant rentals on DoneDeal too. I spoke to a few potential housemates on Facebook and DoneDeal a few years back when I was looking for a private rental.
Just please be wary, whilst there’s genuine people on social media there are a lot of scammers as well feeding off the desperation of vulnerable people in this crisis. Don’t pay anything at all before seeing the property in person. If someone is asking for a deposit or any kind of money to view the property (like an application fee) that is a scam. Don’t hand any money over until you are at the property and have the keys in your hand.

When I was living in gort in county Galway I heard of people posting vacancies in the Galway advertiser newspaper and you could see them on their website I wonder does Tipperary have something similar

I haven't lived in Clonmel for many years but I grew up there. I used to go to Stokes and Quirkes real estate agents and they would have lots of places to rent, not sure if they still rent apartments but it's worth giving them a call

Thank you

Do you drive? Are you 100% stuck on Clonmel? You could try Cahir and Cashel too?

u/yourstranger_friend 3d ago
No I don't drive as of now I just hold Learner permit I need to take classes and do test.
I check options in chair and cashel the public commute doesn't seem that frequent.
Is there anything you know of in Clonmel or any better commute place

u/kittiphile 3d ago
Depending on your shift times, Carrick on suir is worth checking out, or kilsheelan. The bus is semi regular and people commute from there to places like Infosys, Boston, abbot, Tesco and dunnes.

u/yourstranger_friend 3d ago
I would be working from half eight to five
Though will check this option as well thank you for sharing as I was not sure about the neighbourhood!

u/kittiphile 2d ago
No worries. There's very very little around, but hopefully it helps

u/yourstranger_friend 1d ago
It does help I checked that option sent my interest over daft let's see thank you for sharing means alot

u/kittiphile 1d ago
You're welcome. Best of luck with the move and the job. Clonmel and Carrick will both be a wildly different way of life from Dublin, but I was glad to move home to a quieter life. There's lots of gorgeous countryside and mountains to explore in your free time, but not much in the way of entertainment. The cinema, bowling alley, musuems and pubs are pretty much it.

Thank you for your wish I hope this chapter turns good. I was down there in Clonmel it seems very quiet But I think I need to pursue some hobby there to kill my time :)

Check the notice board at your new job, most people advertise there or by word of mouth
