Perfect cozy winter stay :)
We had a wonderful cozy Christmas week at this lovely characterful property. We arrived to cute Christmas decorations, coffee and biscuits in the kitchen and even a stocking loaded with Christmas candles and chocolates. So incredibly kind and thoughtful. Well-stocked kitchen and Kate had thought of everything making it possible for us to whip up a full Christmas dinner. We enjoyed a great DVD Collection, games nights by the fire and I can see that in the summer the garden by the little river would be just fantastic. Bedrooms were very comfy and Kate had electric blankets for us. Lovely bathroom, plenty of hot water and good shower pressure. Pretty country views from all rooms. We loved the nearby coastline and beaches…even in December. Stunning views and walks…even saw whales just off shore. Amazing. Cliff walk to Hook lighthouse was lovely and of course you’re never far from a lovely pub. Also loved our day in nearby Wexford, cute shopping streets, good restaurants and we enjoyed a Christmas show at the National Opera. A truly special and enjoyable family week and despite it being right over Christmas, our lovely host was always quick to respond to any question I had. 5 stars, for sure. Thank you Tormey family.

Cosy quirky cottage
Myself and 5 other family members had a two night stay here, we all loved it's cosiness, beds were so comfortable, bed linen, towels etc were perfect. Lots of extras there in case you forgot anything. Ample and safe garden space for our dogs to run around. Ate in Mary Barry's restaurant which provided courtesy bus , food was so good, also the highlight of our time away was the Saltee sauna at kilmore quay, First time for us and wnt be the last. Will definitely book here again in the future. Also the host was so responsive and friendly.

Picture perfect!
The cottage is ideally located for exploring this part of Ireland. It is welcoming and cosy and contains all the equipment you could possibly require. The garden is family and dog friendly. Great areas to sit outside, especially beside the river. I hope to revisit some time in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Kate Tormey

Host profile image
Kate, ran her own property business providing short term executive accommodation for the corporate and theatre world. In 2009 she branched out to incorporate an interior design service to property clients. Her quaint cottage provides a bolthole weekend and summer escape :)

Why they chose this property

kate and her husband purchased this property in 2006 after the birth of their second child. they enjoy using it as an escape from their busy lives where they can relax or spend time with friends and family.This property is less than 2 hours drive from their Dublin home and ticks all the boxes for charm , oodles of private outdoor gardens , great local restaurants , pubs and food providers , stunning beaches and of course the sunny southeast's preferential weather!
The cottage is 200 years old and is fitted with most modern comforts to combine the charm of a period property with style warmth comfort and interest whilst having those odd corners and cosy rooms that define a cottage. Wifi can be slow but there is fibre in most villages and a great local internet cafe where guests have booked private rooms for zoom should work commitments impose on their time
We enjoy researching areas before we travel and to offer you the same opportunity we send you a file of own local recommendations and those discovered and enjoyed by guests so that you can get the most out of your stay - you may decide to visit some or all of the places , restaurants , pubs, beaches on the list or just while away the afternoons peacefully dipping your toes in our little river or playing rounders on the lawn whilst the BBQ prepares your supper !We love to hear reports of any other spots you discover.

What makes this property unique

A charming and characterful restored 200 yr old property , with 3 acres of privacy and a small river bisecting the grounds. Great location for touring SE Ireland.
