Beautiful view and beautiful home

This house was perfect for our extended family visit during our tour of Wexford, Kilkenny, Waterford and the surrounding area. It was clean and had great views. The owner and property manager were helpful when we had questions.

Great space and great location. All bedrooms a good size, great indoor and outdoor dining options. Generally clean, although some kitchen cabinets/larder need some attention. Fantastic views from multiple locations. Fishing available from the harbour, 3 mins walk.Some work needed in a few places:- Window in downstairs triple room doesn't open.- Most keys not marked (or marking has faded), so impossible to locate correct keys without trying all 13. No key for top floor balcony found, door already unlocked.- Games room needs a lot of work. Legs on both pool table and table tennis were damaged and unstable, almost unusable.- Low clearance on some of the doorways: beware, tall people!All round, a great location, but let down by a few things. Needs some investment to keep it up to standard.

A family get-together in Fethard on Sea

The property is recently renovated and in a magnificent setting overlooking a small harbour and adjacent small beach. The village of Fethard on Sea is about a mile away and is on the Hook peninsula. Several nice beaches on the peninsula. Only drawback is that you have to bring your rubbish to the BigBin facility in the village. No recycling facilities there or nearby.

Fethard on Sea - a Hidden Gem

The location of this property is fantastic. Sitting over looking a small harbour is has amazing scenery. We were very lucky in the weather we got. We had 3 families with 8 kids in their teens. A high tide the kids could dive off the harbour which they did each night. Within 5 kms there is a multitude of impressive beaches. The house is a short walk to village with restaurant and bars. The house itself had a great open plan kitchen and suited the needs of the group Could not recommend this house and location more

Our Family Irish holiday!

This was a great property for a family to enjoy Ireland. There is a terrific view of the sea from every window! We spent a lot of time on the pier and beach right across form the property. There are Many wonderful walks from the house to the village and to the nearby beaches and cliff walks. The locals were very friendly and helpful. We found plenty of touristy areas nearby as well as enjoying eating and shopping in nearby Waterford and Wexford. Just traveling from one spot to another on the very scenic roads is a thrill! In other words this property is a very good location and very well provisioned for a large group to have a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!

Coastal Retreat

This is a fabulous place to stay with a group of people, we had eleven family members stay at Old Quay House. Plenty of space for hanging out or to find a quiet place to read by yourself. The the outdoor sitting areas were well used. A true bonus is the large kitchen with lots of space to prepare large meals. The kitchen was well stocked with everything, not quite like at home but for a rental very good. Views from the patio and “upper deck”, especially at sunset were spectacular. The location is also very quiet at the end of a dead end road with the only noise the occasional car heading to the harbor. Plenty of fishing spots and a small beach to launch a kayak in front of the house. We truly enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back next year.

The Old Quay House, Wexford Ireland

Our family of 12, mixture of teens and adults stayed here for a week. Pros of the place are that it accommodates 12 people easily. The views are spectacular. The Wi-Fi works with 12 people. Hot water does not run out. The town is 1 mile away and within walking distance. There is a well equipped grocery store in town. Kitchen is well equipped. It could use sharper knives. It was easy to cook for 12 people. As a hint fishermen come just about every morning and have fresh lobsters and crabs! If you talk to them nicely they may sell you few. The garden is beautiful, but could use a gardener. Cons I would say is that host is asking us to dispose the trash. We are not used to hauling trash. Perhaps, this is an Irish VRBO custom, but definitely not a US custom. Overall would 100% recommend staying here.

Family birthday celebration

Location and house had everything we need for a very enjoyable stay. Loads of space and plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. Middle floor (wheelchair accessible) with the kitchen & dining area which overlooked the harbor was excellent and where we spent the majority of our time

Super Family holiday

Our group of 17 stayed earlier this summer, and we had a lovely time. The house was comfortable, very well equipped, spacious and was in a fantastic location. There is lots to see and do in the area and is close to Waterford City. There are plenty of beaches in the vicinity and the village of Fethard is lovely, with excellent shops/pubs/restaurants/take-aways.

Great property in a fabulous location.

It was ideal for a large family gathering. Lots of room inside and the beach on the doorstep was perfect for the kids to explore. Lots of local points of interest in the area to drive to. Large kitchen diner was perfect for us, well equipped and great views out to sea. Local village of Fethard close enough to walk into to enjoy the local pubs or to pick up some supplies from the small supermarket. Would stay here again.

Although I never got to meet Neil and his family the communication was very good and all went smoothly. The house was left very clean and tidy and would recommend Neil to any host and welcome him and his family back.

A fantastic place to stay, fabulous views and a wonderful property.

Our family of 12 had a great stay here. The property is amazing, really homely and has everything you could possibly need including the spectacular views. The children loved the games room and being so close to the beach. Sheena is a great, attentive host and we would highly recommend this property. The children are already asking when they can go back !!
