The kitchen was well stocked. It was convenient being able to wash and dry clothes.
The cottage could have been clearer - lots of cobwebs and spiders. The hoover didn’t work. The bedding could have been lighter.
4.0
The settings of the stable is lovely. The outside area is beautifully kept. There is lots to do in the area, Dunmore East is about a 10 minute drive and Waterford is about 15 minutes.
The accommodation is very small. It is also too far from the beach to walk so you need to drive everywhere. It is quite expensive for such a tiny property with no garden.
5.0
The location is idyllic, so close to woodstown beach, dunmore east only over the road.
If ots peace and quiet you ate looking for, the stables is perfect.
Space is a premium. There's nothing I could fault.

Lovely
A lovely little house with all you could need. Very clean and well laid out. A pleasure to be in
Fleece bed linen was unexpected and wouldn't be our first choice.
The bunk room might be ok for kids but an adult on the bottom bunk isn't really an option - very tight space. Originally we were in number 8, which was more spacious and had twin beds but with the few covid cancellations, number 8 wasn't available. Very grateful number 9 was!

well equipped kitchen
open fire a positive
comfortable beds
distance from car parking to unit a bit of a trek on arrival/departure
lighting could be improved in living area
anti-slip provision in shower would be prudent
