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.

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.

This house was very accurately described , it's spacious, very well equipped and clean. It's a very comfortable place to use as a base while in Dungarvan and is just a few minutes walk from the water and many shops and lovely cafes and pubs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I had several queries during the booking process and Colleen was always extremely prompt in getting back to me. Highly recommend this house!

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!

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

Property in Dungarvan
On arrival we observed an unassuming terraced bungalow close to the Garda barracks in Dungarvan. The house turned out to be much bigger than our first impressions led us to believe. The house is immaculately well attended and stocked with anything you may need in a home away from home. Our hosts were attentive and forwarded excellent messages advising us of activities, dining and drinking options and local attractions. The location of the house is superb with all the town has to offer within an easy walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to all.

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.

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.

Fabulous Dungarvan house
We spent the past week at this lovely property. It is exactly as it appears in the photos, though probably even nicer than the photos suggest. It is really comfortably furnished with lovely quality furniture. The beds, pillows and quilts are all really good quality and extremely comfortable. There is room for 6 adults to stay with 2 bathrooms. The house is really well insulated so very warm. We never had to use the fire or central heating. We had breakfast in the outdoor courtyard almost every morning and a glass or two of wine in the evenings. It's a lovely quiet and sunny spot. The property had really generous supplies of all necessitues and Kathy had left lots of lovely food for our arrival which we really appreciated. The property is very central, two minutes from the town centre and 5 minutes from all the good restaurants. Despite this it is very quiet and we were never disturbed by outside noise. Colleen gave us a very useful list of restaurants and coffee shops. All were excellent. Colleen and Kathy promtly answered all queries throughout the booking process and during our stay and were always most pleasant and accommodating. We really loved the house and Dungarvan and it's beautiful surrounding area. We walked lots and cycled the Greenway and saw amazing scenery. We can highly recommend the house to anyone looking to stay in Dungarvan.

I choose this place because of the positive reviews that the property had received and I was glad that I did. Kathy was excellent and like everyone else has posted had some provisions for us. This made a world of difference for us and made our first night and morning easy. Thanks Kathy! The unit is tidy and close to everything. The outside courtyard was nice to sit in on sunny mornings. The unit was a good size and the beds were comfortable. We cooked in for 1/2 the time and we had everything we needed. There is a larder with all the basics. I would stay here 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.
