Vacation rentals near Mount Melleray Abbey

We loved our time here at Irish Sea Whispers and especially Ramona’s kindness and help. We were captivated by Youghal, loved playing golf at the golf Club, and the uniqueness of the Clock and downtown area.

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!

Amazing views, great hosts, felt like home!

great time as we visited the Irish countryside and family we never met before.

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.

Absolutely beautiful home in a wonderful country setting with plenty of things to do in nearby towns. Ulrich and Ruth are wonderful welcoming people and I highly recommend it! Book it!

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).

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful. The hosts were so attentive and helpful with suggestions for dining, sights, shopping and attended to all of our needs. The cottage has such character and a wonderful history. The hosts turned a good experience into an unforgettable one.
