    Perfect if you are looking for a cosy countryside get away or like us, a family gathering. The area is so peaceful, and the stove adds such a touch of cosiness to the property. The hosts have thought of everything from kitchen utensils to board games and toys for the kids. The host even came to check on us when there was a quick power outage due to storm Bert. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful property. Áine www.flysailrail.com https://www.instagram.com/fly_sail_rail/profilecard/?igsh=MWg3Z3ByenZodW1jYg==

    A fresh loaf of bread was waiting along with a few other treats.The wood burning stove was perfect with plenty of wood provided! The owner stopped in to check on us soon after we arrived and was available via text. The house was completely updated and WiFi worked great. Highly recommended.

    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.
