This is a stunning beach cottage. Our group of 9 was very comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was so nice. The beach views are incredible and the garden is amazing to sit outside and have morning tea/coffee. Having a private beach was another plus. Joe is always available and so kind. If you’re looking to stay out of the city and relax this is your spot!

Gorgeous

A breathtaking location in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the sea. The steps down to the private cove wander through wild garlic. The house is charming and well loved and long lived. The kitchen has everything you might need and the mismatched plates and cutlery add to the relaxed atmosphere. (I suggest you bring your own pillow as those need some updating.)Highly recommend staying there and would love to again!

Stay at Brittas

The property was perfect for our group, completely furnished and fully equipped with everything we needed. The host was very helpful and checking in and out was easy. The position was spectacular, and the weather was sunny enough to use the garden furniture and go down to the beach directly from the garden. We were lucky to see a grey seal pup and mother on the beach - magical. Would definitely recommend.

That is unfair comment. Unfortunately there was a good deal of rain on the day you arrived. Your husband telephoned me to complain that there was not enough firewood, that there were some nettles on the pathway to the beach and that there were marks on the wall in the front hallway. I told him that in addition to the basket of wood beside the fireplace, there was plenty of firewood in the woodshed if required (it was the end of May!). I also politely suggested that some nettles at the side of the path and some marks on the wall in the front hall due to luggage coming in and out, should not get in the way of your enjoyment of the property. For the avoidance of any doubt, the house had been thoroughly cleaned and bed linen laundered prior to your arrival and I had vetted that myself. In light of his comments, I offered a full refund on the spot. But that was not taken up. While you told me that you had had a great stay at the property when leaving, we’re disappointed that your review is at odds with that.

Family visit

Blown away by the setting when we walked around the house on arrival. Great safe space for kids and lovely beach. House ideal for large mixed age family group - never felt crowded. It is an older house, but everything we needed was there, and we had a great holiday. Joe was readily contactable if needed and very helpful.

A wonderful place for a relaxing vacation!

We had a wonderful stay! The house more than met our expectations.It was comfortable and had everything we needed to feel like we were at home.The location was perfect. Waking up to the ocean each morning was a delight. The town of Arklow is just a few miles down the road, making restaurants and shops easily accessible. The house made a great base for us to take day trips to castles, attractions, walking trails and the beautiful beaches in Bray and Brittas Bay, a short drive north. We highly recommend this property. We hope to visit again!

We are a family of 5 living in the centre of Dublin & we love our weekends in 'Oban sur la mer', our haven of tranquility which we share with you. Our kids love the beach & having the Bridgewater Shopping Centre so close by, means that we are never short of things to do. A great hangout for the larger family gatherings - just 50 mins from Dublin but it seems like it's another world.
