The cottage is so clean and beautiful. Bright and fresh and lots of light in the day and cosy and lovely at night. It is built on beautiful grounds, a stunning garden. The hosts are so kind and lovely and interesting. They gave loads of tips on what to do and where to go. Duncannon beach is a two minute drive away and you can drive right up onto the beach. Dollar Bay which is a 5 minute drive is stunning and a must see. You can get the ferry from Ballyhack to Waterford in about 5 minutes. I fell in love with Duncannon and all its surroundings. I was v sad to leave it all and would go back in a heart beat. Thanks so much to Robert and Mary for being such kind and special hosts.

Having to leave :(

We had a lovely stay at the seaside cottage. Mary and Robert were lovely and very welcoming. We had everything we needed during our stay. The attention to detail was excellent. There were beautiful fresh flowers on the kitchen table and in the living area. There were washing pods left in the laundry room, shower gel in the shower and even tea bags, sugar and milk on arrival. Just these little added extras I thought were brilliant. They thought of everything. The house was very well equipped. The chairs in the living area were very comfortable and there were even blankets hanging up if needed. Each bedroom has a door that opens out onto a little private garden area with a table and chairs. The pillows and duvets were all feather. They were so comfortable. During our stay there was an incident with the vase of flowers in the living area. They were situated on a shelf over the tv. I'm assuming it was due to them being top heavy, and potentially a breeze from the door being open, but unfortunately they fell over and the contents of the small vase spilled over the tv. This resulted in the tv no longer working. Within two days Mary and Robert had the Tv replaced with an even bigger one. For the two nights when we had no TV, Mary was kind enough to bring us over some cards. We had such a laugh playing with these, there were also some games up in the press. On our last night we had a BBQ. We brought our own little portable one, but in the out house where the washing machine and tumble dryer was there was a large BBQ that we could have used, along with charcoal, and everything else needed for a BBQ. There was really no need for us to bring our own charcoal etc. There was also a swing to the side of the house that my children enjoyed. Overall we had such a lovely stay and would visit again.

There wasn't much we didn't like. I suppose the only thing that some people may see as a slight problem with is the fact there was only one indoor toilet that you have to go through the twin bedroom to get to. This wasn't really a problem for us as my children are heavy sleepers and wouldn't hear my parents using it during the night. I had the bedroom away from the toilet so In the morning if everyone was still sleeping I just used the outside toilet. The outside toilet was just a little walk from the house and was well equipped with toilet roll, hand wash and towels.
