Idyllic cottage set on the water's edge

Beautiful location The house itself wasn’t very clean Rat droppings in one of the cupboards Dining room chairs dirty and stained Windows needed cleaning Showers either didn’t work or were very poor Shower curtain filthy Pillows stained with mildew Curtains hanging off the rails Sun umbrella but nowhere to anchor it Loads of flies dead on the windowsill I have taken photos and videos I expected more for our £2700 paid Mary Ashworth I will be contacting you when I get back

This is a lovely home with a great modern kitchen and many quaint features such as the goblin-esque statue over the main entryway. We enjoyed the changing tidal effects on the estuary, and the many birds and water fowl. This was our base station and we spent a day exploring the Hook peninsula, a day at Rock of Cashel, and a day in Waterford. We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return again some day.

Beautiful location on the water, just outside the village of Fethard on Sea. Peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Great location from which to explore Waterford/Wexford area.

We loved the cottage though we had several difficulties that needed support. Sheena was very responsive and we really appreciated her help and Michael’s help. The view is terrific and we walked into town and to the quay easily.

The house is in a fabulous location, right on the river and close to beautiful beaches and lots of interesting places to visit. The house is well laid out and you can enjoy beautiful views from the living room, upstairs terrace and garden. The house was well equipped but could do with a bit of work - the bathroom off the stairs smelled of damp/urine, the fabric on the dining chairs was stained, the sofa was grubby and the mattress on the double bed in the upstairs bedroom was uncomfortable.

We had a delay in our arrival due to ferry cancellation so arrived about 10.30pm. The cottage windows had all been left open in the bedrooms so they were all cold and felt damp. The downstairs bedroom was the worst and the chair in the room was actually wet. We did originally have 6 adults coming and we were aware that one of the rooms was a twin bed room we did not know however that the doorway into the room was very low and would have been a real problem for the intended occupants, it would have been nice to have read about this in the cottage details before booking. When we arrived every room we walked into we walked through cobwebs, whether this was due to the windows being left open or not quite as thorough a clean as normal im not sure. As I said the location was perfect overlooking the estuary but the pervasive feeling of being damp through out the cottage was a shame. We didn’t think we would need to keep putting the heating on to help dry out and warm the cottage up. We also had intermittent hot water. The outdoor furniture needs a bit of attention and due to the number of beautiful trees, regular attention to cleaning the sap off would save visitors clothes. The final two things that I would like to say is that all of the previous occupants left over food stuffs and toiletries, I feel should have been removed before the next visitors arrival if only to be a bit covid safe…. The second thing that we did not know on booking was that you have to get rid of all your own rubbish (€8for two bags) & recycling, this is done down in the village one bit at the recycling centre and the other at a disposal point at the Londis we’re you purchase a voucher for the didsposal point. I don’t know if this is standard in Ireland or just at this cottage either way knowing in advance would have been useful. As my husband put it we’re on holiday not worrying about traipsing round the town with the rubbish is one of the little luxuries you appreciate. We did leave the cottage as clean as we found it as we always do.

The boiler system was powered down before our arrival which was very late in the evening and it took us a day before we figured out what was needed so that we had hot water. I think that is some thing that should be checked by the property manager prior to a family checking in to ensure they have hot water available on arrival. The location is very convenient and the location is as described.

We all had a fantastic stay at the cottage. Great area, quite, nice little village, great beaches all around the area. You won't be disappointed.

We are two retired couples spending ten days in Eire. We found the accommodation had plenty of room for us and the position was quiet, with lovely views over the estuary. We had a problem with one of the toilet systems, the water never stopped running which was unfortunate but ear plugs allowed a good night sleep and we understand the problem is being resolved asap.

Unfortunately the property was in need of some care and attention. The balcony was very green and mouldy as were the chairs so we could not sit out their or see the view very well . Their was food crumbs and wrappers left in the draws in the small bedroom and black marks on the pillow cases. All the upstairs windows were open when we arrived which was late at night so it was extremely cold . Sofa covers could do with a wash and black mould in the small bedroom. But on the upside location was brilliant . Don’t think you should have to pay such a big service and cleaning fee for the property.
