The house was very comfortable for a family of 5. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The views from the living room upstairs are gorgeous and the house is in a great location - from right outside you can have a dip in the sea or go for a walk around the headland where there's also an amazing swimming spot in a natural rock pool. Highly recommended, we hope to be back!

A quirky, well equipped house for a seaside week of fun. Right on the harbour, a small beach 30 seconds walk away and the AMAZING Solomans hole swimming spot about five minutes away. The house itself was well stocked with crockery and cooking utensils, the sunny garden at the back perfect for drying swimmers and having tea. Washing machine and particularly dryer were great when swimming three or four times a day. We had a lovely welcome pack left for us on arrival. The 5k out and back walk/run to Hookhead lighthouse was stunning. Book the cave kayaking with The Irish Experience, it was wonderful. The shop in Fethard on Sea has everything you need about 4 miles away. All in all I think one of our best holidays ever. Thank you!!
