“Rose cottage was perfect.”

The greatest treat was meeting the owners, Pat and Sheila. They were informative and so enjoyable.

“Rose cottage is very comfortable and warm .”

I was very happy there for my week stay. The lawn gardens you refer to belong to the owners house next door and not linked to Rose cottage. There is a gravel area only for parking and patio corner with table and chairs. Your picture with the lawn in front of Rose cottage is misleading as this is not correct. There is only a small gravel area with gates at entrance. The lawn area is off to the right of Rose cottage with the path . I have to point out most importantly that you gave the wrong post code for the cottage which lead us to the wrong address. This was proving very inconvenient for that owner of that residence. He told us we were the 3rd English family turning up at his address. He was not able to help us find Rose cottage as he did not know of it. I had to ring the owner who then drove down the road to meet us. This area is quite rural and would not be possible to find without a satnav or google map so urgently needs the correct postcode. to be given .

“The cottage is comfortable and clean, but the living space was smaller than we’d anticipated.”

We knew it was just one open plan room, but nothing in the listing suggested how small it was. Although there was a sofa and small armchairs, they weren’t really made for lounging on, and were tucked into a corner. We had a fab week, but we would have thought twice about booking a cottage with such small living space for us and our 2 kids.

“Rose Cottage is beautiful; it's in a beautiful location with lots to see and do; and Pat and Sheila are superb hosts.”
Mr Robinson June 2018

“A real find for any couple who want a bolthole for a week to 'get away from it all'.”

Accommodation and facilities were excellent and we could not ask for better hosts Shiela and Pat. Conveniently located close to Youghal and within easy reach of Waterford, Cork and all points in-between - including Ballymaloe House and cookery school!! One error on the directions. The road to take off the N35 when approaching the cottage is the L2009 and not L2029.

“Rose Cottage was delightful and had been carefully restored.”

Pat and Sheila were lovely, helpful and kind hosts. The cottage was very well fitted out and the heating and hot water worked incredibly.

“Delightful”

My husband and I fell in love with Rose Cottage from first sight until the moment we left. It's cosy, welcoming, so well appointed and charming. Sympathetically restored by its owners, it is comfortable in every way, and very well equipped with everything a guest can desire. Its owners who live next door are equally delightful, giving us a first-class welcome and every help and assistance we could possibly have needed. By the same token, they are equally happy to leave you in peace to get on with your holiday. The cottage is located in a quiet, country hamlet not far from the seaside town of Youghal and very near the absolutely beautiful Blackwater river. We spent a very happy week here and wished it could have lasted a whole lot longer. Because the main bedroom and bathroom, as well as the living accommodation is on the ground floor, this cottage would be ideal for anyone who needs to be on one level, but there is an upstairs bedroom to accommodate several other people. It might be a little out of the way for anyone without their own transportation, but for anyone who wants a little quiet respite in a lovely location, it can't be bettered. It would make a marvellous retreat for someone who wanted quiet meditation and/or contemplation and country walkers, but equally, if you visit with a car, it's within easy reach of many wonderful Irish locations. It's only two or three miles from Youghal, several well-known supermakets and major routes in all directions. We just loved it and highly recommend it.

“There were so many wonderful experiences on our Irish holiday but right at the top of the list would be the charming Rose Cottage, at which we loved our stay from beginning to end.”

“A most beautiful cottage in a very peaceful location.”

The owners were very warm, friendly and welcoming . Lots of picturesque coastal hamlets to see in the area. We had a lovely restful holiday & would like to return.
