“Perfect Staycation”

We have stayed in Clonard Beach house twice now. The house itself is immaculate and has all the services needed for a family. The open plan living area opens on to a decking area and garden. The property is safe for kids to play outside and is well secured all around. It is a 2 minute walk to a beach that has lifeguards all day. There is an outdoor hose and plenty of space to store any beach toys/body boards. ...

We have stayed in Clonard Beach house twice now. The house itself is immaculate and has all the services needed for a family. The open plan living area opens on to a decking area and garden. The property is safe for kids to play outside and is well secured all around. It is a 2 minute walk to a beach that has lifeguards all day. There is an outdoor hose and plenty of space to store any beach toys/body boards. The outdoor seating is looking out onto the sea and the balcony upstairs is a lovely spot to relax in the evenings. There are also loungers available to lie out if the weather allows. Joan had left a welcome basket with some treats for our stay and checked in by phone mid week to make sure everything was ok. We have stayed in many self catering houses over the years and the quality, location and comfort here cannot be beaten...so much so we are already booked in for next year! I cannot recommend the Clonnard Beach house or Joan highly enough if you are looking for a relaxing and hassle free break away by the beach. The new boardwalk that is currently under construction will be a fantastic addition for next years stay and make it even easier to stroll into Youghal town.

“Really warm welcome from Joan and Tom.”

The house is in a great position and extremely comfortable. Youghal, only a 15 minutes walk along the beach, is a lovely town with plenty to see and do - perfect base to explore Counties Cork and Waterford (once the Coronavirus restrictions are lifted).

“Extremely High Standard”

My family and I stayed in Clonard House in July of this year. The house suited us perfectly. We had all of the home comforts we needed to make it a very enjoyable break for the whole family ranging in age between 3 years and 82 years old. We enjoyed the beautiful sea views from the upstairs balcony. The garden is well laid out and we were able to relax on the deck in the evenings. The location of the house is ideal as it is only a stone's throw from the beach. It is also an ideal base from which to explore some of the amenities that east Cork has to offer. Even though the hotel across the road was closed due to Covid19, this didn't impact on us. The hotel had a van outside the hotel grounds in which they prepared a variety of food and drinks including tea, coffee,scones, croissants, burgers, fish, chips etc. Joan was at the other end of the phone and was very helpful to us. The welcome pack left at the beginning of the holiday was a nice touch. We look forward to staying in Clonard House again in the near future.

“Extremely High Standard”

We stay in self catering every year in Ireland. This house was to an extremely high standard, so clean with everything we could possibly need. We had a fab week and will be back.

Just across the water from this popular coastal destination is County Waterford, making this a wonderful spot to explore both counties. The historic 12th century town walls still remain and Youghal was once a busy port town and today you can enjoy a stroll along the prom and gaze at the boats docked in the harbour. Swim or stroll along the sandy beaches, take a cruise along the Blackwater River, take a guided tour of the town or simply relax and enjoy the pubs, cafes and restaurants. Youghal is also home to an excellent 18 hole golf course and the Aura Leisure Centre with a gym and 25 metre pool.
