The cottage was ideal for our family Christmas stay, a beautiful log burner with a supply of logs and kindling which was perfect. Cottage was warm and comfortable. The cottage was well laid out and kitchen had everything to prepare our Christmas dinner. There were games supplied and a smart tv so plenty of entertainment. Nearby Enniscorthy worth a visit plus plenty of other places to explore a bit further afield, such as Hook Lighthouse and Kilkenny. Would consider staying again, thanks.

On arrival a loaf, butter, milk, tea, coffee etc not a starter pack for fire but enough to keep you going for months. It was a lovely quiet spot with the sheep as neighbors. It gave us a lovely base to visit family and have them over. The kitchen was well equipped and modern. The shower warm and reliable. Lots of space outside to enjoy. We will be back.

Lovely surroundings and plenty of space for everyone. The owner even left local strawberries and freshly baked bread as well as milk and butter in the fridge. Very thoughtful. Would definitely recommend xx
