    It was very cosy with lovely bedrooms, a comfy couch, and a nice, big open kitchen but the best was the magnificent view. The hosts were really very friendly and we felt very welcome. The music in de local pub and the beautiful cliffealks at Bellycotton, Waterford and Ardmore made our holiday complete.

    There was no hand soap in the bathroom and the glass in the shower could have been a little bit cleaner but the shower floor was clean. Went to local shop to buy soap and as there is only one shop in the village, the prices were not competitive...but needs must and all of that.

    Great location and wonderful views. Very friendly hosts.

    We had a lovely relaxing holiday, the house was so close to lots of great beaches. It was lovely and comfortable. Our dog was welcome too. We had everything we needed in the house and Helen our host was very welcoming, She had tea and biscuits for us on arrival and brought homemade scones to us during the week. She was there if we needed anything during our stay. Bring everything you need for the holiday as Ardmore itself is very quiet off season .

    The WiFi was very unreliable but probably due to the location.

    Nice property in a good location for a base around south east Ireland. Spacious house with good outdoor space for the dog. Very useful covered passage for storing coats, boots etc. Very warm and cosy. Within walking distance to a lovely sandy beach and a short drive from Ardmore which was a nice seaside town with lots of interesting places to visit.The owner was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay.

    The internet coverage was very poor

    Located within few minutes walk from the Whiting Bay beach and short distance drive from Ardmore, Youghal and Dungarvan. The property comes as self contained unit with 2 bedrooms, spacious living room and fully equipped kitchen as well as private entrance. The host, Helen is very professional and kindly greeted us on arrival with tea and biscuits. Very peaceful place in the countryside.

    Really the accommodation was perfect with everything you could ask for, apart from the beds which my husband and I found quite uncomfortable. The kids were happy with their bed so maybe it was just we are older and more cranky 😉

    It was a fabulous location with beautiful beaches and nice attractions close by. The host was really helpful and told us about a little beach close by ... a real hidden gem. We would have missed it otherwise as it was not signposted so really glad our host was so thoughtful to tell us about it.

    Nothing. The question doesn't arise. Can't think of anything that we didn't like. Top marks, ten out of ten.

    We liked the family-friendly nature of the accommodation with plenty of outdoor space for the children and our pet dog. We had great and very warm and welcoming hosts that were very easy going and easy to get along with. Also, the location of the accommodation in relation to local amenities was excellent with Ardmore Open Farm and Mini Zoo close by for the children, as well as Ardmore beach and cliff walk, and Whiting Beach which was virtually on our doorstep just a couple of minutes down the road. The towns of Youghal, Dungarvan and Cobh were also close by.

    Ya just a bit disappointed with the heating situation they had two plug in heaters and they weren't great it took a good few days to eventually heat up the apartment the weather wasn't great at the time and then the time of the year didn't help, unfortunately for me that was when l had a week off so just took the opportunity to go away

    Beautiful views from the house, the scenery was unreal, the house was clean and comfortable and the host were very friendly it was in a quiet area very peaceful

    Nice two bedroom holiday home with comfortable sitting room and good kitchen space. Pet friendly and our little dog loved the nearby beaches in Whiting Bay and Ardmore. Ardmore about 7km and Youghal 17km so within easy reach for shopping. Comfortable good sized bedrooms and bathroom with excellent shower. Towels are provided. Good tv with a huge selection of channels and free Wifi.

    No drier to dry the clothes if the weather was bad. That's it!

    We loved the peace, the solitude and the fabulous views. It was a short drive to Youghal, 25 minutes to Dungarvan and an hour's drive to Cork and Tramore. 10 minutes walk from Whiting Bay, an absolutely beautiful beach.

    Wonderful stay. Very peaceful and close to the beach. Only 15 min drive to Youghal which has everything. Helen is a wonderful host and is on hand if there are any problems. The apartment is well laid out, spotlessly clean and spacious with ample parking and outside space. I loved the view from the sitting room of the beach. It's a 2 minute drive which is nothing or you can walk.. There are plug in radiators for heating which heats the place very quickly if needed. Once warm it stays warm. It is quiet, no busy roads, no traffic noises, peaceful. There are 2 bedrooms with double beds with enough space for us to put down an air mattress for a 3 Yr old. One of the best places I've ever stayed.

    I'm not quite sure where to start. I am still speechless thinking that this property is even advertised as a place to stay. We spent 30 minutes here instead of the 5 days that we had booked and pre-paid for. The property is advertised as detached, but it is actually a converted garage connected to the owner's house. The place is very run down and the smell of dampness was unbearable. All is really basic. We emailed the host through booking.com after leaving the property but never got neither an acknowledgement nor a reply. Do not stay here and do not give your money to a host that doesn't offer basic decent accommodation and good customer service. The minimum you can ask for in hospitality?! I am still astonished at how this property has a rating of above 9!!

    The location was probably the only positive.
