Just back from two fabulous days in Evelyn's place in Rathmoylan Cove with my wife and our 20 month old son.
The house is just as shown in the pictures and probably even better in reality. Incredibly stylish but also comfortable and cosy and finished to a very high standard. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that great for us, however lighting a fire in the stove each evening and just relaxing with the sea literally on our doorstep proved to be one of the highlights of our stay. We loved the shower, just as depicted in the photos. The house was spotlessly clean and had every amenity needed for a very comfortable stay. This included excellent broadband and a well-stocked Nespresso machine.
The setting is idyllic. There are a few other holidays homes right beside the hut but it's still private and incredibly peaceful. There's a path just beside the house that leads to a stunning view of cliffs and the coast mere footsteps away. Evelyn told us this path leads all the way to Dunmore East for what must be a very scenic walk.
Dunmore East is 10 minute drive away and must surely be one the most picturesque and unspoilt coastal towns in Ireland. It's certainly touristy but has a more high end feel than other better-known seaside towns. We ate lunch at The Lemon Tree which was nice but the highlight was the fish and chips at Pier East! Probably the best I've ever had. There are plenty of things to do in the area and some lovely safe, family friendly beaches in and around the town itself.
Communication with Evelyn was excellent. She was just as kind and friendly when we met her in person. She very generously allowed us an early check in and late check.
We'd love to come back to Evelyn's beach house, Rathmoylan Cove and Dunmore East. A unique property in a stunning setting just outside one of Ireland's prettiest towns.
