This charming cottage enjoys a peaceful setting on the outskirts of the village of Ardmore in West Waterford. The property welcomes four guests and one four-pawed hound and is the perfect base for families looking to get away from it all in stunning coastal surroundings. The coastline around Ardmore is dotted with idyllic, paw-friendly beaches, including the wild and remote Curragh Beach, just 100 metres away.
The picture-postcard thatched cottage is set on a quiet lane that leads down to the beach. Inside, you’ll find a traditional abode with homely touches and characterful original features. Spend quality time together in the delightful lounge/kitchen/diner, where a wooden table is nestled next to a cosy wood burner – the ideal spot for memorable mealtimes after a day of exploring. After dinner, stretch out on the sofa with the hound curled at your feet. The cottage has two inviting bedrooms – a double leading through to a compact bunk bedroom and the family bathroom. Outside, there’s a spacious lawn where Rover can play and a sunny seating area for enjoying a sundowner or an al fresco supper as you admire the view. The property offers private parking.
Ardmore (2 miles) is a colourful seaside village with cute cottages and friendly pubs and cafes. The village is steeped in history, believed to be the oldest Christian settlement in Ireland, and is part of a pilgrimage trail. The area is teeming with picturesque walking routes to explore with the pup, including the popular Ardmore Cliff Walk. Further afield, enjoy a trip to the bustling harbour town of Dungarvan or a day’s hiking in the Comeragh Mountains (both within 15 miles).
