Georgina Campbell, one of Ireland's top travel writers describes Dungarvan best. "the west of the county is still one of Ireland's best kept secrets, a place of remarkable beauty between the Knockmealdown, Comeragh and Monavullagh mountains, where fish-filled rivers such as the Bride, the Blackwater, and the Nire make their way seawards at different speeds through valleys of remarkable variety and beauty, past pretty towns and villages".

New York Times travel section recommends Dungarvan as a foodie destination.

Amazing location and lovely house

Perfect location for what we wanted. So much we could walk to for shops and food. The property owners were really easy to call and gave lots of recommendations and tips for what was around. The house was great, the perfect size for the 4 of us and very comfortable.

An excellent host and a perfect house.

We loved our stay in Dungarvan. The house was extremely well equipped and comfortable. Cathy was the perfect host. I got Covid there and she immediately came and brought some medicine and even checked on me every day. The house is in a great location. It was very clean. There was even a visitor cat sometimes. It was a very joyful experience on our lovely trip to Ireland. I will stay there again if I go to Dungarvan. It is also a lovely town with so many places to see very close by.

Dungarvan, 22 Mitchel Experience with Wheelchair

The property is well located for visiting Dungarvan and the vicinity surrounding. Really easy to go right downtown. It is listed as handicapped accessible and it is but, it is a bit difficult with a wheelchair. As experienced people using a wheelchair, we could make it work. For a person with minor disabilities, it is well suited. The kitchen, cleaning and other supplies are fantastic. Totally well stocked! Kathy stopped by to check on us and that was appreciated. Enjoyed staying there!

Dissatisfied

The VRBO listing said there were 2 king size beds. The beds were doubles. The house smelled musty when we entered. I also smelled cigarette smoke. Kathie was very friendly but didn't meet us at the property so we never got appliances explained to us. The bathroom showers had black mold in them. There were not enough bath towels provided for our 6 day stay. The washer was small. The dryer took forever to dry. We ended up using the Crest Laundry in Dungarvan. The location was within walking distance of everything but the front bedroom was facing main road so opening windows was not practical.

Lovely home in an outstanding location.

VRBO homes do not get much better than this one. The price was ideal, the location was walking distance to town, to restaurants, to grocery stores. The courtyard was a delight! The kitchen is fabulously equipped. Dunvargan itself is a excellent base for exploring the beaches, Lismore castle, Waterford etc. GRAB at his place if you can!

Great location

Bright and spacious property excellently located close to the town centre / pubs / restaurants. Well presented and very clean.. there were even additional toiletries (toothbrushs/ makeup removal / toothpaste etc) provided which would make a huge difference if you had forgotten anything. Blackout blinds were great.. even if it took us 2 bright mornings before we realised they were there! Would stay there again without hesitation

Excellent Location

This property is so deceiving from the outside. It is a spacious 3 bed house in an excellent location. The owner was there to meet us on arrival and gave us an overview of the property. Absolutely everything you need is there. From hair dryer , towels etc down to tea , coffee , salt and pepper. The owner had very kindly left fresh milk , cheese and crackers so there was no rush to the shops. We had everything we needed. We had a great stay in Dungarven and we would highly recommend this property

Ideal staycation spot

Deceptively large house in a great location in Dungarvan. Within walking distance of shops,cafes and restaurants. Lovely courtyard at the back of the house -a bit of a sun trap. Kathy very welcoming - even left some basic supplies for us including a yummy apple tart. Our first staycation in years made very enjoyable.

Wonderful!

Everything was wonderful and charming. The hospitality we enjoyed extended from the property manager to the store clerks and castle hosts in the beautiful harbor town of Dungarvan. The house was perfect for our group and laid out such that the living room, kitchen and patio area served well as meeting spaces for everyone. The off street parking was close by and all the town was a short 5 minute walk. I even walked 5 minutes to the local pitch and putt golf course.

Perfect Location

This property’s location was perfect for my family and I (visiting from New York) to stay while visiting family in Dungarvan, Colligan, Abbeyside and Cappoquin. It made it so easy for all of us to meet one another. The spaciousness of the house once inside is amazing. From the minute you step inside the front door, you are treated to a spacious 3 bedroom 2 bath bungalow with beautiful home furnishings and a fantastic private courtyard in the back of the house. Pictures on VRBO just don’t do it justice. You can be in the center of town within 10 minutes walk from the house. This house was a hidden gem, and one we will definitely try to use again when we return.

A week in Dungarvan

We just returned from ten days in Dungarvan where we stayed at Colleen's charming home. The home was clean, spacious, and well appointed. We could not have asked for anything better. Free parking across the street was always available and all amenities in town are no more than about a ten minute walk. Kathy met us when we arrived and explained all of the features of the home. She had also stocked the fridge with some essentials to make our arrival so much easier, and the pantry had all of the basics. Dungarvan is so close to many attractions and if it is a pint you are looking for and good conversation we found all of the pubs in Grattan Square inviting and the locals extremely friendly. We made a lot of new friends at The Local, the Enterprise, the Anchor Bar, and the Moorings.

Fabulous home downtown Dungarvan

My husband and I rented this beautiful home in Dungarvan for one week and we enjoyed every minute staying there. It was very conveniently located in Dungarvan so you could walk everywhere in town. It was also well located for day trips throughout southeast Ireland. The newly built home is immaculately clean, has lovely furniture, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. In addition, when Kathy welcomed us to her home, she filled the refrigerator for us with more than enough food for two meals. She was very thoughtful. There are three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms with walk in showers. And again, everything was immaculately clean (which is a top priority for us). There is no private parking but this was a nonissue for us as the police (garda) station is located across the street and that is where we parked our car each night. It was literally a one minute walk. You can pull up in front of the house to load and unload the car, but then each evening we would just park in the lot when we returned from our excursions. Worked very well for us, it really was not a problem at all. We very highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone who is looking for a place in southeast Ireland or specifically in Dungarvan. It was so nice, we would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Colleen

Host profile image
I have travelled the world and know what makes the perfect holiday. From staying in lighthouse cottages in NZ to sailboats in Hawaii, I have some inside knowledge on how to make life easier for you while you are on vacation. We adore Dungarvan and what it has to offer.
Nothing is too much bother for us. We are nearby to help you enjoy your stay.

Why they chose this property

A lot of love has been poured into making this house the perfect retreat that can be sensed the second you walk through the door. Luxury and convenience often do not go hand in hand but in this case, they are best friends.

What makes this property unique

Our cosy retreat is the perfect location for winter or summer holidays. In summer, we make the most of the coastal location by visiting all the nearby beaches, harbours and cliffs. And in winter, we cosy up by the Stanley wood-burning stove or go to one of the many local lively pubs where the music plays til early into the morning.

The house is located at the beginning of the beautiful Waterford Greenway which runs along a former historic railway line and takes travellers between the country’s oldest city, Waterford, and the bustling foodie town of Dungarvan.
