“The cottage was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The owners live next door and were very friendly and available to answer any questions. We felt very at home and it made a good base for our holiday. It was in a central area for local attractions in Wexford and surrounding counties. We really liked the peace of the countryside and the cottage itself.”

- “Wonderful,peaceful,traditional cottage. The Dorans are the perfect hosts. Very kind and friendly. Nothing I too much trouble for them and they made our stay trouble free. Second time we've stayed there and will stay there again. If you want a taste of the real Ireland this is the place to go.”

- “A lovely cottage well presented, the owners were very helpful and welcoming also provide plenty of wood for the log burner. A great location to explore.”
Ms Webb, Penarth, September 2017
- “The house was excellent,comfortable,well insulated and heated.The kitchen which is otherwise very well equipped lacked a sharp vegetable knife.However as the host lives right next door I'm sure that had we bothered to ask, one would have been supplied. The location which is slightly off the beaten track suited us perfectly and our host was very friendly and helpful with no fuss about anything.I would definitely recommend this property to other people.”
Mr O Toole, Bray, November 2016
- “We liked the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners of the cottage who couldn't do enough to make our stay such a pleasant, welcoming and relaxed one. Also, the setting with easy access to the port, key shopping areas, areas of interest, sandy beaches, endless historic places to visit, the friendliness of the local people, the lack of litter, almost empty roads to drive on, the slow pace of life and considerate drivers. I could go on!”
Mr Brown, Coventry, June 2016
