Leave no stick unfetched in the beautiful County Waterford, staying on the outskirts of Tramore (3 miles) and right on the coastline. This architecture-designed holiday home is a fantastic bolthole for any family or group of friends, hosting a total of six guests and two dogs in exceptionally pet-friendly surroundings. Let your furry friend run off some energy on the lawn outside or take the short 300-metre walk down to Garrarus Beach to throw a tennis ball or two on this small, sandy cove. A larger beach is accessible in Tramore, with a wide stretch of sandy shore and sparkling sea for your dogs to run wild on.

Let your bounding bowow lead the way into this fantastic property, taking in the light-filled rooms, high ceilings and large windows that greet you inside. A space to relax in, the lounge invites you to get comfy on the sofas, switch on the Smart TV and throw a log or two on the wood burner, all whilst your pets get cosy in their beds and drift off for the night. Underfloor heating will keep toes (and paws) warm on your way to the kitchen/diner. Bedrooms are split out over two floors with a bunk room downstairs and two doubles upstairs, and there are two bathrooms throughout as well. Completing the property, the garden is perfect for pets and children to play in, however is partially unenclosed.

With your pet on the lead and a bag full of tennis balls, walk along the water’s edge to The Metal Man (2 miles), a unique sculpture perched on a clifftop tower. Another easy walking option is the Doneraile Walk (2.5 miles) which offers views of Tramore Bay, ideal for older pups with less of a spring in their step. For more energetic doggos, head to Coumshingaun Lough (19.5 miles) to discover the circular Kilclooney Loop.

This was a return visit to The Haggard. We love the Copper Coast area and the house is a terrific base in a very quiet location. It is extremely comfortable and very well equipped.

This house is close to the beach and a short drive to the main shops. There was plenty of tourist literature there to give us ideas where to go. It was warm and toasty all the time and had all the equipment we would ever need. There was a washing machine and tumble dryer and dishwasher. We loved our stay here and wished we had booked another weeRead morek. Milk and bread and biscuits were left in the fridge for us. Hide

Absolutely stunning house that takes your breath away when you first enter! Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Great for relaxing and reenergising. Phone signal and WiFi intermittent so be prepared to be digital free at times! Plenty of books and videos to watch. Very tranquil location near a little cove with a nice beach.

Cottage is in a quiet location and close to the beach and town. Overall the cottage could do with a paint job and flooring instead of floor paint
