    All good, nice property in the Wexford countryside. We were there only for two nights so did not get to fully appreciate the garden and surroundings as we were seeing relatives in the areas. Great communications with Kate the owner. Only slight issue was that on arrival on a very cold day, the heating had not been put on - and we recognise that it was an oversight. By the morning, the house was warm and comfortable.

    Wonder filled house and garden with its own stream which our dog frolicked in throughout our stay. The house was welcoming and full of character and has everything you could possibly need for a long or short stay. Highly recommended.

    mazing. From start to finish. The house is comfortable and very well equipped. The garden and outdoor area is great. Charcoal bbq and fire pit are an added bonus. The swings and outdoor grass was thoroughly enjoyed by my 3 sons. Location is good for exploring in all directions. Kate is a superb host. Quick to answer anything that came up. We dined outdoors most nights as the weather was great for our stay. Cannot see how anyone wouldn't be enchanted by this place. Thank you for a wonderful holiday

    We had a wonderful stay at Scar Bridge Cottage. Right after booking, Kate, the owner, reached out with a detailed list of local sights, walking routes, and restaurant recommendations. Her tips were incredibly helpful and made planning our trip easy — it truly felt like the holiday had already begun before we even arrived.The cottage itself is peaceful, full of charm, and perfectly located for exploring the surrounding area. Do keep in mind that cooking facilities are limited unless you're used to using an AGA stove, so we’d recommend planning to eat out or keep meals simple.Kate’s warm and thoughtful approach made us feel very welcome, and her local advice added so much to our stay. We’d absolutely recommend Scar Bridge Cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing break with a host who really goes the extra mile.

    If your taste is on the eclectic side and you don’t mind the almost daily bathroom visitor of slugs or spiders amongst the mould growing in the bath then this may be the Cottage for you. In need of major renovation and modernisation this ‘rustic’ house/cottage wouldn’t suit all tastes and barely fits in with the stunning properties within the area.The ‘staged’ photos on the website do not reflect the true decorative state of this property and were very misleading.The advertised ‘great Wi-Fi’ didn’t work for us although the owner did try several ways of rectifying this but after four days we decided it wasn’t worth the hassle of trying to get Wi-Fi. We felt this house wasn’t up to our normal even basic standard and taste and therefore left the property several days earlier than planned.

    We enjoyed every minute at Kate’s cottage. The cottage is very charming and cozy and the grounds are beautiful. Exactly what we were hoping for.

    Kate was a gracious host. She communicated extremely well with us, gave us all the information we needed for a nice stay. The cottage is a classic Irish home with a sunroom, snug, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. On the property are several interesting out buildings and a place for the dogs to run. The heating, water, water pressure were all great. We enjoyed our stay.

    Clean & comfortable. A little farther away from town and beaches than expected. Host was very helpful. Appliances, shower a bit out of date.

    We had a lovely time in the cottage. Even though the weather wasn’t brilliant we managed to enjoy the local beaches and countryside as well as spend time in the cottage. Contact with Kate was exemplary and we will definitely come again

    We loved this cottage. The location was perfect for some great day trips. The fire pit outside was awesome and we sat around the fire almost every night of our stay. It felt like home but in Ireland! Our host was very responsive and checking in and out was a breeze.
