Was a lovely place to stay for me and my husband's honeymoon. Duncannon is a cozy village with its little wonders. The Strand was excellent (especially the mussles!) as well as the other restaurants. A cozy place with the kindest people.

The property is in a perfect location with good places to eat and drink within walking distance. A beautiful beach and some history too with the fort across the road. We were able to drive easily to the places that we wanted to visit. The cottage itself is a little tired but it was spacious and comfortable for the two of us. The spiral staircase could be difficult for some. We managed by only taking essentials upstairs and leaving everything else downstairs. But we are both over 65 and by the end of the week we were fed up with it.

Arrival arrangements were poor. Although the booking was confirmed the host did not expect us. There were no hospitality provisions. There was no first aid kit. The back yard which let a bit of a dump.

My family and I had the most wonderful week staying in The Periwinkle in Duncannon. The village has everything - pubs, restaurants, shop, bakery and cafe - within walking distance of the cottage, which in itself is a quirky delight and provided us with all the amenities we wanted, providing us with the perfect base for a little exploring of Wexford's amazing countryside. We will definitely be back! Thank you Walter and Jessica, Thelma and Louise for a lovely stay!

Wonderfully peaceful

Perfect location for a peaceful break. Jessica and Walter are great hosts, so friendly. Our accomodation was good for us, we are fit. However as Jessica and Walter say, the staircase may challenge people less prople

Charming village

This is a charming, immaculate property in a quaint village with nice restaurants. The bedrooms are only accessible by spiral staircase which is suitable for fit adults and older kids. The master has low ceilings. Large kitchen. Ferry to Passage East is the easiest route to Waterford. Short walk to beach. Free parking on street. Charming and affordable.

Fietsen wandelen en relaxen

We boften enorm met het mooie weer en daardoor een prima plek om te verblijven. We hebben alles gevonden wat we nodig hadden. We hebben veel kunnen fietsen, wat erg plezierig was

Duncannon Trip July2022

Excellent location between harbour and beach, grandchildren liked the quirkiness of the property. Parking a bit difficult on the road when busy and a washing machine would have been more useful than dishwasher, especially after water-based activities. Fairly well equipped generally.

Nice property in need of upgrade

Nice large rooms (we liked the paintings and ornaments). But the advertised five star rating was very misleading as the gas, plumbing and electrics were suspect if not dangerous, particularly the hob and bare wiring. (Surely certificates should have been available). No smoke or carbon monoxide detectors in use in kitchen. Broken drawer handles, chipped mugs, leaking wc cistern, defective hot taps, scalding shower, uncovered light fittings (one was fixed whilst we were there). Oven, some kitchen implements and bedding were not clean (no can opener grater etc). We had no prior instructions on how to find the property, how to turn on hot water etc. Helped out by neighbour.
