We had a lovely family stay at Silvermines Lodge.
The accommodation is in a small detached building right next door to the host's home. The grounds around the accomodation still requires some work, however, the inside is very well laid out and it forms a very comfortable and private holiday let.
The decor gives the accomodation character with the artistic vibe that you might get from a boutique hotel stay. Expressions on the walls and a creative eye to the interior makes this little holiday let a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The sun set across the bay in the evenings is beautiful and entirely visible from the large sliding doors and terrace area.
The living/dining/kitchen area has all the basics you would need in terms of cooking equipment. The main bedroom was comfortable with a breathtaking view over the bay to wake up to. Our two children slept very comfortably in the smaller bedroom and their stay was very much enhanced by the toy storage in the eaves.
We enjoyed several day trips to Hook Head, Duncannon and Kilmore Quay and visited the Shell House in Cullenmore. All relatively short drives from the house. Ruth also gave us some great tips on where to eat. The local beach, which was only 2 or 3 miles away, was a lovely quiet beach and great for kids to explore. We even went blackberry picking along the cliff top behind the beach.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation returning should we visit the area again.
