Everything The Space For Everyone to be Comfortable
N/a
Lovely location. Excellent host.
Could do with some updating.
Fine big house with enough space for two families. Big kitchen and front sitting room with plenty of seating. Very quiet countryside location, close to Tramore and Waterford. House was clean and tidy when we arrived. Plenty of bedding and towels. Good communication with the host.
No major issues with the house. Probably could do with a dishwasher.
house has lots of rooms and all the utenisils in kitchen that you would need. grand for family stay near tramore and waterford cost.
We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this house. There were 8 of us, including children, and it never felt crowded. The house is very spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy our time together. And Thomas was very kind to check on us to make sure we're settled in okay. The kitchen was well equipped with all the essentials we needed, making it easy to prepare meals. We especially enjoyed spending the afternoons sitting outside on the bench and had bbq. The location was also excellent—close to the shops, Tramore Beach, and the SETU Arena, where we attended a 3-day convention, so it was very convenient for us.
Overall, we had a great experience and really enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that the house is quite old and had a noticeable damp, musty smell. Aside from that, everything else was great, and it was a comfortable place for our group.
Very spacious, close to tramore and Waterford,
The house is old
Location of home is perfect. Just a few minutes to town centre, Beach. Shops, With plenty to do locally Some lovely walks especially along the prom and trip to Dunmore East a must. The home is perfect for families with a great garden for kids to run around or search for fairies as ours did. There is plenty of space inside the kids even had their own room to play while the adults could chill after a day out. The kitchen is so well stocked with all the things you need to cook. The TVs in two rooms also great especially with kids no fighting over what to watch.. Thomas is an amazing host so helpful with information and communication. Hanna the housekeeper has the home spotless.
Nothing
The house is so spacious. The rooms are large. The kitchen is massive as is the lounge. We were in Waterford with friends who were staying elsewhere and they were able to come round for the evening. Nine of us sat around the table for a meal. We then enjoyed the evening in the lounge where everyone was seated comfortably. The location was perfect. We enjoyed visiting Waterford Dunmore East and Tramore. Thomas was helpful and gave us great advice on places to visit.
The hosts were very friendly and informative
Bathooms probably need some updates
all perfect
Location
Ive never come across people so accommodating and helpful than Thomas and Hanna. Great communication and willingness to help in any way they can. From information on local sights and activities to queries we needed answering, they were spot on. The house itself isnt new, but is full of character and has tonnes of space and is clean and very comfortable. All the amenities you'd need and pleasant garden for the kids to play in. The heating system seems to have been recently upgraded and the place is nice and cosy in no time. 9 of us stayed for 4 nights and had plenty of space between us. Location is one of the benefits too. 5 mins from tramore. 10 to waterford city, and 20 from the Passage east ferry. For a trip to the sunny south east, you'll struggle to find a better base. We'll be back next year...
Large house ideal for two families. Plenty of room. Quite location, close to Tramore and Waterford City. Very helpful owner and easy to contact.
No major issues. Couple of small things but discussed with the owner directly.
I loved this house. Extremely comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. It easily housed 7 of us and could have taken 2 more. Our host was so lovely and very helpful giving us ideas on where to go and things to see and checking we had everything we needed. The location was lovely and quiet and so convenient to Tramore and Waterford city. We would definitely stay here again.
Nothing at all!
Fantastic location and very quiet
It was a rural location. But not a problem as we had a car and plenty of family around so was perfect for us . Lovely large house and comfortable . The hosts were absolutely amazing. Kept checking if we needed anything and kept in touch. I would definitely use this house again. It was perfect for us.
close to tramore
The property was absolutely fantastic! It was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed to ensure a comfortable stay. The location was ideal, offering easy access to nearby attractions while still providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The house was equipped with all the amenities we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. We particularly loved the cozy living area and the outdoor space, which was perfect for enjoying the fresh air. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive, which added to the overall experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better holiday stay!
The property is very old some lovely features , the host seemed very nice very helpful but I feel fobbed off after explaining our experience
It’s freezing even with the heating on constantly using a boost button, not very clean we had dead flies on plates in the cupboards the kitchen is way too dated the bedding is extremely bobbled very uncomfortable not worth the money
...very good location... ...very nice Owner with good support... ...nice quiet place... Definitely back again...
Nice big house plenty off space for family.
All was great
This is a very nice modest cottage. It is located in the countryside surrounded by peace and green fields. You would never know that you were literally 8 minutes from both Waterford City to the North and the beach at Tramore to the South. So peaceful. The Klockeen Dolmen dating back 4500 years is a 10 minute walk and is definitely worth checking out. Many different rooms to spread out so even a large family can have some quiet time. The family room is also a great safe room for young kids to play in and leave the rest of the house in peace.
would have been nice to have screens on the windows to be able to bring in the night air.
Good helpful communication with the owner who tried his best to help
Left after 1night (first time ever !) and checked into the travel lodge. House had been smoked in previously . Still a residual trace/order which went for my wife's head and caught my son's chest ( who is asthmatic). Good sized living room. Kitchen and bathrooms are functional but need a lot of TLC and updating, Compared to other accommodation we've stayed in for the same price this house was disappointing sorry to say . Has the potential to be an outstanding property.
Plenty of rooms , and room for the kids to run around.
Thomas was a gentleman to deal with and my expectations were met so close to the town and beach ideal location so close to everything in tramore and its out of the way of the busy town we will be back again. Kind regards, kieran Ryan
The location was ideal, so close to Waterford city and Tramore. The beds were extremely comfortable with gorgeous bedding/ sheets used. The host was so helpful and responded quickly to any questions. The owners were extremely helpful and willing to go to great lengths to help you. The house is a great size for a family. We were very happy with our choice of place.
All was great,nothing to say here.
Location was out of the way and peaceful. Close to the City and a few minutes from Tramore.
The weather 😂
It was the perfect location near all facilities
Location was great, 7mins drive from Tramore beach. Garden was a hit with my children and the house was big enough for 2 families.
The house is quite dated but that didn't bother us.
