“A charming cottage near the Comeragh mountains.”

Our host was very hospitable and had the stove lighting when we arrived aswell as providing ingredients in the fridge for a cooked irish breakfast, scones and 2 mini bottles of wine. She gave us lots of advice on places to see and where to eat. An electric blanket was on the bed and there were 3 armchairs and a couch. Very tranquil setting. We enjoyed our stay very much

“The property was in a lovely quiet area and had plenty of space for our dogs to run around safely outside.”

The owner was great and she would message with ideas of places to go that matched our interests each day. The bathroom could do with a little updating of the shower cubicle. However the rest of the cottage was comfortable.

“This cottage was a fabulous location for visiting relatives .”

My husband was very impressed with the dark sky for star gazing having taken his refractor and telescope to view the night sky . Obviously this cottage does have steps internally to the toilet so not suitable for wheelchair users . Bernie called around to make sure all was ok , left a very welcoming breakfast and wine in the fridge and plenty of coal for the fire !

Frank August 2019

“Lovely cottage, if you want to experience a real cottage it's the place to be!”

The host Bernie was very kind and gave us a lot usefull tips. The cottage is situated near the mountains, but also nearby Dungarven and the sea.

Jackie August 2018

“This cottage was a wonderful surprise, and Bernie, the owner was very accommodating.”

We had a fridge full of anything we could need on our first night/morning - an Irish breakfast, milk, wine and a fire lit! - The cottage was steeped in history and a wonderful throw back to traditional Irish living - this was a very relaxing week and we were close enough to Dungarvan to access all entertainment and fabulous restaurants we needed - it was also prefect for our dogs with its big garden which is enclosed and safe. I would highly recommend this cottage and host. If its a couple's escape you are seeking - then step back in time to Carthy's cottage and enjoy every moment it provides. We got out and about every day and discovered many coves/beaches and towns within 20 miles all worth a visit - Lismore, Stradbally, Dungarvan - the trip to Dunmore East and Passage East is beautiful - the Copper Coast drive is also a wonderful way to spend the day. A most memorable week.

“Location Superb.”

“It's too complicated.”

If I book through Booking com, Idon't want to communicate still with another office. You phoned me several times and when I call back you don't know why they phoned me. And I booked 5 appartements in Ireland and when you phone me why schould I know which appartement it concerns and I thought I would just communicate with Booking com and not with somebody else.

- Therese, June 2018
Steffi June 2017

“Our host Bernie was very welcoming and helpful - even with our two dogs, we talked briefly about before arrival!”

All information needed was provided so we did not need to ask for more support. Our host gave us a little tour around the house and the surrounding area. We hiked and did cycling tours - the Greenway from Dungarvan to Waterford is perfect for that. So was the accommodation: A beautiful and charming cottage with a big garden including stunning view. The pictures in the listing show exactly what you'll find.

Mary September 2016

“We stayed in Carthy's cottage with our small dog.”

We were made most welcome and the cottage was lovely and traditional but with every mod con we needed. The front enclosed courtyard and big grassy enclosed garden at the back of the house was perfect and safe for our dog. The cottage itself was much roomier than we expected. The landlady was very kind and helpful and was ever only a phonecall or text away. The area was so peaceful and we were never too far away from the places and sights we choose to visit. The Comeragh Mountains and Mahon Falls are only a 20 minute drive away and Colligan Woods less than 10 minutes away. So many lovely walks and such beautiful scenery and a lovely traditional cottage to relax in, a holiday to remember!

- Mary, September 2016
Michael July 2016

“Our host, was a delight.”

She helped us in every way to make our stay interesting and comfortable; pointing out local cultural activities and sights. We would gladly stay there again.

Hazel June 2016

“This peaceful rural gem is a uniquely charming cottage enhanced by the charming warm welcome from the hosts.”

It has a very spacious and attractive walled courtyard, (which was perfectly suitable to contain our large dog) together with a large well-maintained garden which includes an outdoor dining area. We thoroughly recommend it as a haven of tranquillity, yet it was within reasonable driving distance of local attractions.

- Hazel, June 2016
John September 2014

“It was obviously restored with passion, great time and effort to keep its original look but with great thought put into modern living standards.”

The stove fire left the radiators throughout the house hot and everything required for a comfortable, stress free break away had been thought of. If you want to step back in time and escape the world, this is the spot.

- John, September 2014
Karen August 2013

“Liked the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner - she was a delightful woman, who couldn't do enough to ensure we had a wonderful stay.”

The situation was in a quiet, rural setting, which was just what we wanted. The cottage was full of character, and a comfortable place to stay in.

- Karen, August 2013

The property

This 300 year-old, stone-built detached cottage is situated in a rural location, 11 miles from the old harbour town of Dungarvan, in County Waterford.

This Dungarvan cottage has a wonderfully unique semi-thatched roof, giving it an interesting twist on other traditional Dungarvan cottages.

This delightful cottage retains many original features and character charm, including the thatched roof, solid fuel stove and large fireplace, and makes a real country retreat for anyone seeking an Irish hideaway.

Inside, this Dungarvan cottage rental is cosy and comfortable, benefiting from the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.

The pool table and table football is great for keeping children, and big kids, entertained, while adults can sit out in the lawned garden sipping a glass of wine on a warm summer evening.

There is fantastic golf in the area, scenic drives, and stunning mountain views to behold, and if you can bring yourself to leave the peace and sanctuary of your Dungarvan cottage, there is so much to see and do.
