When looking for a place to book our short and relaxing vacation in Ireland, we found Jo's "outhouse" posting and immediately wanted to stay here. It's even more beautiful in person and was exactly what we were looking for. Stradbally is a very small town, but it's a short drive to Dungarvan to access restaurants and a grocer. Jo gave some great food and beach recommendations. Their dog, Benji, was an added bonus for us, as we were missing our big dog at home. He was very sweet and lounged with us in the sun while we read and had tea outside. If you're wanting a relaxing vacation on the southern coast, this is it. Wish we could have stayed longer.
