Cannot wait to come back here and wish we could have stayed longer! Paula was extremely helpful and responsive, giving us ideas of walks we could do from the house, she's definitely very familiar with the area. The house was very clean and full of light from gorgeous huge windows with great views. Seems like a perfectly sleepy and quaint little road, we loved walking down to the Hook Head Lighthouse for breakfast. An ideal quiet coastal getaway!

Instandhaltungsprobleme und zu einsehbar von der Straße, sonst ein schönes Haus, vor allem im ersten Stock.

Thank you for alerting me to a minor maintenance issue. The house is in a very rural area, set back back from the road, entirely enclosed by either wall, fence or hedge, with both light filtering and blackout blinds.

About the host

Host profile image

I grew up in New Ross and have lived in many locations since but I’m always drawn back to the area.

Why they chose this property

Hook Head holds a special place in my heart and now in the hearts of my children. It is where I spent many hours exploring as a child on Sunday afternoon family outings. Getting an ice cream cone in Campile and trying to make it last all the way to the lighthouse!
