Thistledown Lodge

Everything about the lodge is totally outstanding. The attention to detail and the focus on customer satisfaction is evident both in every interaction with the utterly delightful hosts, Enda and Martin and in every room. Faultless hospitality at its very best. This is our third or fourth stay and everything about it , from the warmest of welcomes to the cleanliness and comfort of the room to the excellent and freshly cooked breakfast was consistently outstanding. Truly unbeatable in every way. Thank you and see you very soon. Nicholas.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this wonderful and beautifully formed boutique lodge and EVERYTHING to love.

Большое внимание к мельчайшим деталям .ванна в номере супер

The attention to detail was best in class, the rooms are excellent the overall property is amazing, the gardens and exercise area was a pleasant surprise, the host Enda treats their place like it is family staying with them and the breakfast was one of the best too

Nothing, it was a great experience from start to finish

Tout était parfait et de qualité, dans le moindre détail. Établissement à découvrir absolument. Le petit déjeuner exceptionnel. Propreté irréprochable. Hôte très prévenant.

Rien tout était parfait.

Viel Platz im Zimmer, großes Bett mit sehr angenehmer Bettwäsche, großes Bad, alles sehr komfortabel und wertig eingerichtet.Leckeres Frühstück mit Omelette aus 3 Eiern. Man merkt, dass es Martin wichtig ist, dass sich seine Gäste wohlfühlen.

Loved the bath in the bedroom!

Sehr sauber und modern

Fantastic boutique B&B with the nicest hosts you could ever meet. Decor is out of this world, it has everything you need and more, the breakfast is outstanding.

Absolutely nothing. This accommodation is perfect.

Seriously the best bnb I’ve ever stayed in, without a doubt. The room and facilities were easily on par with a 4/5 star hotel. The interior design was absolutely beautiful and felt like stepping into a perfectly styled IKEA showroom! Everything was modern, cozy, and incredibly well thought out and spotless. The hosts were wonderful, and the breakfast was excellent. Next time I’d genuinely consider coming back just to spend a few relaxing days here as a city escape.

The only downside is that this isn’t my house. :)

Martin and Enda have created such a comfortable and relaxing space. It was so peaceful and really felt like we were alone in the world during our stay. The ultimate relaxation. The quality and detail put into the design and furnishings were all stunning. Loved the whole aesthetic of Martin and Enda's place. Absolutely loved having a robe - felt like a proper hotel getaway! Breakfast was one of the most pleasant and relaxing experiences I've had in a guesthouse! The granola is not to be missed. Gorgeous food and a very fresh quality to everything.

That we only stayed one night!

Prachtige kamer, comfortabel en mooi ingericht

Alles was goed

Beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped room, lovely welcome, secure bike storage and delicious breakfast.

If you don't have a car (good on you!) plan where you'll eat dinner as restaurants are at a distance - this is beautiful, remote rural Ireland!

Attention to detail. A pleasant, relaxed and natural vibe even indoors. Will definitely recommend and will come back if possible with time.

Not able to stay more and enjoy it more.

Ruhige Lage, Nähe zum Hook Lighthouse und weiteren Attraktionen der Halbinsel

Attention to detail Cleanliness The beautiful garden Warm communication

It would be very hard to find fault with this accommodation - from the grounds, the room, the impeccable decor and the great breakfast, this is a 10/10 from me. Charming hosts who were helpful without crowding our space. Can I move in?

Nothing

Honestly everything! The room was so nice and clean, very comfortable and chic. The surroundings were also amazing.

Can’t think of anything.

Estava tudo excelente acomodação super limpa aconchegante eu amei tudo muito bom para relaxar café da manhã é ótimo tudo muito fresco muito bom ♥️

Enda und Martin haben ein kleines Paradies erschaffen. Sie haben das Haus sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich gestaltet. Der Garten ist eine Oase um neue Kraft zu tanken. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder, hier stimmt einfach alles!

Es war überhaupt nichts zu bemängeln

We had a wonderful stay at Thistledown Lodge. The property was exceptionally clean, peaceful and beautifully maintained. There was absolutely no noise, which made it very relaxing and comfortable. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, and everything exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect for exploring Hook Lighthouse and the surrounding area. We honestly could not find a single thing to complain about and would happily stay again. Highly recommended.

Nothing at all. Everything was excellent.

Amazing attention to every detail with exceptionally high standard of hospitality. Decor and furnishing flows beautifully. Bonus of being surrounded by tranquil countryside. Thank you for a wonderful overnight stay!

Liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, gutes Frühstück - insgesamt hervorragende Unterkunft!

We received a very personable welcome and were given all the help and information we needed. The breakfast was amazing, and the place really felt like our own private space. Martin and Enda were both incredibly kind, and I’d happily recommend this accommodation to anyone staying in the area.

Nothing that I can think of.

Very clean, super comfy. Hosts were very attentive!

Not a thing!

Delightful hosts, beautifully presented room with much thought given to furnishings. Addition of things like a mini fridge and toilet douche most welcome. Breakfast was delicious. There is plenty of information on food and drink options and places to visit in the area. If you want to enjoy a peaceful retreat in comfort this is the place.

Diese Unterkunft ist ein kleiner Traum, wunderschönes Haus, tolle Zimmer. Die Betten waren super bequem und wir haben bestens geschlafen. Enda als Gastgeber ist die Herzlichkeit in Person - wir würden sofort wieder kommen! Besser geht's nicht.

Es gibt überhaupt nichts bemängeln.

Stanza bellissima e curata in ogni dettaglio. Padrone di casa gentile e disponibile.

Niente.

Would love to have stayed here longer. Room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Host was super friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Great central location to stay while seeing all the sights and beaches near Hook Peninsula.

Well appointed cottage in the middle of the countryside with an outdoor gym / workout area Beautifully decorated and incredibly friendly

No faults found

Schöne ruhige Lage. Sehr nette Gastgeber. Sehr leckeres Frühstück.

Das Zimmer war exakt wie auf den Fotos, eigentlich in Wirklichkeit noch viel schöner! Picture perfect, als trete man in eine andere Welt. Wir waren von der stimmigen Einrichtung und den vielen Details sehr angetan. Enda und Martin waren herzlich und sehr bemüht, Frühstück war top, alles sehr liebevoll und stilvoll vorbereitet. Vor dem Haus ist ein genauso liebevoll gestalteter Garten, mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Die Umgebung ist ebenso sehr reizvoll, viele nette Strände in nur wenigen Fahrminuten erreichbar.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Thistledown Lodge – truly one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. The B&B is beautifully kept, with exceptionally clean and comfortable rooms – the best we experienced during our stay in the country. The location is peaceful, yet conveniently close to lovely beaches and great restaurants. Breakfast was delicious, and the overall atmosphere made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!

The style and attention to detail is truly exceptional. Great location. Martin was an excellent host. Would recommend in a heart beat!

We loved the property - it was chic and welcoming. Huge style and attention to detail. Fantastic welcome by Enda and Martin. Very comfortable and the chaps cook a great breakfast! Thank you both - our second visit and we will certainly return.

Nothing! Don’t change a THING!

Such a gorgeous place to stay in Wexford. Highly recommend.

THE OWNERS! Enda was simply wonderful, efficient, helpful, and over-the-top kind in helping us. There was not one thing missing or wanting from that establishment. French press in your room! A lover's paradise! Loved the location, near beautiful beaches and cliff walks. Clean as a whistle. Good solid breakfast! We will return, for certain!

NOTHING! 100% perfect!

Exceptional place run by charming hosts. Comfortable, tastefully designed, superb attention to detail and great location.

Beautiful property, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Martin and Enda were super friendly and lovely people, we got to meet Noodles the cat who was lovely too! Breakfast was delicious, super fresh and so much to choose from. This place is a gem and so close to all we wanted to visit.

Nothing it was perfect

Amazing in every way, really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone. Their attention to detail, the decor, their hospitality went beyond our expectations. The room was immaculate, the garden stunning, the food delicious, the location only a few minutes away from major landmarks. The perfect B&B.

The room was perfect, comfortable and stylish with a bath tub in the room which was a lovely touch. We received a lovely welcome from both Martin and Enda, and they gave us great places to visit in the local area! Breakfast both mornings were superb and I’d highly recommend staying here for any couple looking for a nice weekend get away!

Absolutely spotless, beautiful decor and interiors and very comfortable.

Nothing! Everything was incredible

Genuinely nothing to dislike. If you like quality, tasteful design, fabulous personal service and a wonderful private breakfast, then this is for you.

Nothing at all, genuinely nothing.

Very clean and the owners were very helpful and courteous

The cost was above my expectations

The room was exactly as advertised; spacious, clean, comfy bed, great views (lovely plants and a little field full of birds), fantastic shower and room was refreshed every two days.

The transport to the area requires some planning

Fresh, modern welcoming and comfortable

Where to begin… we loved everything about this place. The design and every little detail in the decor of the house, extra delicious breakfasts freshly prepared by the wonderful hosts, access to the outdoor gym and gym classes, access to Netflix account, calming view from the windows and so on and so forth. I really admire the presence of the small fridge in the apartment, some water, fresh milk and coffee, as well as access to the snacks. Our stay there was extra pleasant thanks to the lovely cat accompanying us in the garden. 100% recommend this place and we would really love to go back some day!

Everything! Tastefully designed, run by amazing and the most welcome hosts; comfortable bed, spacious room! All you need for the relaxing getaway is there! Plenty to do and to see in the area! Definitely will be back!

Nothing

Lovely personal attention from the owners - thankyou Anders and Martin for your trip tips and kindnesses. Beautifully decorated and v comfortable. Loved the breakfast.

Just a suggestion - perhaps include a sheet for sleeping on hot nights. Doona too warm. 😀

Delicious breakfast & loved coming down to the smell of hot croissants

Quite and peaceful. The interior decor was exquisite. Such a warm and comfortable guest house.

I can't recommend Thistledown Lodge enough. Martin & Enda made us feel welcome from the first minute on. The lodge is very stylish. Our room was very clean, well equipped, comfortable & quiet. The cooked vegetarian breakfast was excellent - it's always a plus if there are vegan/vegetarian options apart from muesli&yogurt. The place also has a very spacious outdoor-gym and a cosy sitting-area to enjoy drink or two. :)

Lovely stay, close to all our places we wanted to visit. Breakfast was excellent. Very clean, bright and the bed was very comfortable.

Very high standard of decor very comfortable and well equipped with excellent attention to detail and a charming host

A really well-designed b&b experience. Facility was beautifully appointed and arranged. Excellent breakfast. Lovely hosts.

The house was gorgeous and homey. The house was spotless as well when we arrived. The location was great as well and the hosts had a lot of brochures available to have a look through to find stuff to do if we were ever stuck. Breakfast was also really nice in the morning and a great way to start the day!

nothing! Couldn't have asked for more

Enda, Martin and Noodle are absolutely amazing, the perfect hosts!! Breakfast was delicious as usual and the new mattresses are so comfy!! I can't wait to come back and visit.

This is a very nice location on our tour around the soutern half of Ireland. The hosts are very friendly, caring and it is always a good feeling to have a warm and honest welcome. The room we had as wll as the whole house was in every detail with style, very clean and comfortable. Certainly a place we would fully recommend with plenty of options to do in the vicinity.

Everything! Lovely b&b, beautiful room with bath, excellent breakfast. Stunning views and area to explore. Great suggestions of what to do & see from the hosts. Amazing stay, thank you.

Everything, this is not your average B&B, it's very impressive. Great food, good location and extremely comfortable and I enjoyed the privacy of my stay

So clean & cosy with amazing attention to detail. Best granola we've tasted!

That we couldn't stay longer!

Wonderful hosts - lovely peaceful place with great breakfast, beautifully decorated, very comfortable - well be back

We wanted a few days relaxing at the end of the year and the Thistledown Lodge was exactly what we needed. Superb! Excellent decorated with everything you may possibly need. Super nice hosts! Well done!

Nothing

Picturesque. Very tastefully done.

Martin and Edna were great hosts, we were warmly welcomed and shown around, they also gave good advice on what to do and see in the area. The lodge is set in lovely gardens in a quiet, rural area not far from eating places and historic sites. Our room was well appointed with comfortable furnishings, lots of space and everything we needed for our stay. Breakfasts were delicious with homemade granola, fresh fruit, pastries and a range of other choices for a hot or cold meal. Nick enjoyed an omelette each morning along with generous servings of coffee and tea.

Extremely nice rooms, wonderful and eclectic decor, a quiet location but close to many sights, and very friendly hosts

Nothing

Very friendly owners and our best stay in Ireland! The breakfast was regional and fresh, the location was very relaxing and beautiful. Will definitely come again!

Very friendly owners, thoughtful with high attention to details but you won’t feel overwhelmed by it. Really comfortable and nicely arranged and designed interiors and exterior, that you would like to relax in. Bathtub in the bedroom is a brilliant idea!

There was nothing I could complain at or dislike.

Absolutely everything. Couldn’t fault a thing

Nothing

Beautiful property with newly renovated rooms.

Nothing.

An enchanted bubble in the middle of the Irish countryside. The landscapes are breathtaking, ideal for green nature lovers. The cosy lodge is beautifully and tastefully decorated. Best of all the hosts are absolutely lovely and dedicated. We'll be back for sure!

Nothing

The room and house were spotless clean. Breakfast was lovely. Good variety and freshly cooked. Located on the hook peninsula ideal for us as we were visiting some friends in arthurstown and was close to lots of local attractions. In a lovely quiet rural area. Martin and Enda were very kind and made us feel very welcome.

One minor thing was that the tv didn’t have any tv channels just Netflix. Just our preference would have been to watch some of the sport that was on tv for the weekend but that was just us. Others may prefer Netflix.

Matin and Enda made us feel so welcome, they were both very attentive and made an excellent breakfast. The room was spotlessly clean and a very comfortable bed. Great having Netfilx in the evening after a full day of exploring the area. We where only 5 minute drive away from two beautiful beaches. The ferry to Waterford was only a short drive away. Would not hesitate on returning or recommending to anyone.

The was nothing not to like

The staff was friendly. They made some awesome meals plus different types to choice from.

There was nothing I dislike about this place

Breakfast was excellent best I ever had

Everything perfect

It was a lovely stay at Thistledown Lodge. Hosts are amazing. The peninsula is beautiful and peaceful. The lodge is SO cozy! We spent the weekend there and it was perfect!

Very comfortable stay. Excellent breakfast. The host, Martin, was very helpful. TV had Netflix option.

The property is in a remote location.

Thistledown Lodge is truly well located on the South-Eastern coast of Ireland in close proximity to the world's oldest operating & functional lighthouse (Hook Lighthouse) which makes it an ideal location to spend a couple of nights or a week exploring surroundings. The 'Passage East' car ferry service from Waterford cuts down on journey time too and makes for a little sight-seeing trip in itself. Having stayed at many 5-star properties around the world in Dubai, Singapore, Thailand, New York - our room at Thistledown Lodge was furnished to exceptional satisfaction and did not disappoint one bit. We'd upgraded to the bigger room with a bath and shower so we had plenty of space even if we stayed in one of the evenings whilst it rained. Being vegetarian guests with special dietary requirements, we were well taken care of by the hosts with wholemeal toasts, fresh orange juice, potato waffles, vegan sausages, vegan black pudding, baked beans and mushrooms. Everything at this property including their breakfast was served at an exceptional standard and you can see the attention to detail with the amenities on offer like branded cutlery, plating methods, quality of food produce etc.

We could not find a single fault with the property, our stay or the experience from the hosts - everything was genuinely to our satisfaction with Dean & Martin going out of their way to truly care and make your stay feel special. Whilst only recently opened, this property is a real gem given it's location, value for money and experience.

Even better than expected! Wonderful host, perfect breakfast, room was spacious, clean and beautiful. Can’t find anything to fault to be honest!

attention to detail

Tasteful design and every need taken care of!

Beautiful breakfast, quiet location, close to beach, large room, wonderful shower, Netflix, mini bar and the list continues…..
