This is our third year booking the same week an entire property somewhere in Ireland. Booking at Aoife's place was smooth as silk. We did not meet Aoife but did meet her parents and their dog at checkout. Late checkout at noon was very generous and welcome. Check in was very easy - Aoife gave us highly accurate directions and the key was to be found in the 'secret location'. The property is a development. It is a corner property so has a large back and side garden. It is a sizeable house - much larger than it looks from the outside with a sun room. THe biggest plus for the property is its location - convenient distance to many sites / sights - Hook Head Lighthouse; Tintern Abbey and Colcough Gardens; New Ross for the RosTapestry and the Dunbrody. Fethard village can be a sleepy little place and at times becomes a hive of activity. We recommend coffee and cake at the Lighthouse Trading Co. The property is just 5 min walk from an excellent beach - secluded and safe. It is possible to hire Kayaks and do Kayak Tours from the beach.

Fethard has a Londis store that is a tad on the pricey side so I would recommend that one uses it for top up shopping and doing your main shop in New Ross or Wellington Bridge en route to Fethard.

The house does require to be supplied with a vacuum cleaner. A larger freezer unit would also be welcome.
