Lovely part of the world

We love everything about Dunmore east. We had our first holiday here 7 years ago and we go back from 2 weeks every year since. It’s a quiet peaceful place to shut yourself away from the busy world. We walk everywhere in dunmore east. The car hardly moves. Plenty of places to sit and read, for the kids to play. A little gem on the end of Ireland. The cushions on the couch are ripped. The toaster doesn’t work. Would be nice to have access to the hoover. Some of the lightbulbs are gone in the property.

Lovely cottage

This cottage is fully equipped and extremely comfortable. It has everything you need to have a restful vacation near the sea, but code enough to do much more that day trips to other villages are not exhausting. Waterford, Ardmore are very close. The Greenway is lovely to walk. Marie and Tony are terrific hosts who welcome you with homemade scones and tea. I spent 8 nights here and could easily have stayed another week. The listing did indicate there was a washer and dryer to believe that may refer to the dishwasher. There is no clothes washer. Unfortunately the one in Dungarven is temporarily closed so I had to drive 37 km to the next closest public laundromat. This is certainly not the fault of the hosts. I include it here so the next person will be aware of this. I will certainly return to this lovely cottage sometime soon. Thanks Marie and Tony!

Country Cottage - Great Owners

We stayed about 10 days. Cottage is centrally located between Waterford and Cork within 45 minutes each way. Town of Youghal is just accress the bay with shops and a few restaurants. Dungarvin, a bigger town is 20 minutes away. Cottage is a 5 minute walk to the bay. Owners were great and responded immediately when the refrigerator died. they arranged a temporary refrigerator from their efficiency nex door and got a new refrigerator within a few days. we only had to use our cooler for one night. Very friendy and responsive owner.

Perfect little cottage

I was concerned as to why there were no reviews on this place yet, so just wanted to leave one for anyone else who's considering it. This cottage was spotless, with beautiful views. The beds were comfortable, shower had good pressure and hot water (we've stayed at some where that was not the case), host(ess) was so sweet and kind, check in was easy, check-out was easy, it has been updated, so all fresh and new. It was an all around wonderful place to stay. The only thing I'll mention which might be a problem for some, is that it's right by the road, but the road noise didn't bother me at all (and I'm a very light sleeper).

Great Ireland Holiday

We've stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this stay was the best. Spoiled with homemade bread and a gift of wine along with grocery staples to get us started for our two weeks. Loved the location and advice for local outings.
