We just had a lovely 3 night stay at John's place. Our group had 4 adults, a 3 year old, and 2 babies under 1.
This house is immaculately clean, and we arrived to homemade scones and buns with sprinkles (which I can only assume was a very personal touch given that kids were going to be staying). The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for a stay away, and every person had their own stack of fresh towels on their bed. The bedrooms are large, and extremely comfortable. Both rooms with double beds had plenty of space for a travel cot beside them, and the room with the twin beds was just beautiful. The bathroom was gleaming, very modern and spacious.
We booked this house because we were looking for a quiet, clean, and kid friendly area. There is a beautiful playground less than 5 minutes of a walk away (with a buggy friendly path). Our 3 year old had an absolute blast there. The big draw for us, however, was Stradbally Cove... and we weren't disappointed. The cove is a small stretch of sheltered beach, with perfectly smooth soft sand. Because it's a cove, its perfect for small kids to paddle in. You can walk to the Cove from the house, but there is a fairly significant hill so we drove instead (we didn't fancy trying it with the buggy!). We spent two afternoons there, and it was blissful.
There's a pub directly across the road from the house, and a shop right beside that. The shop had a really decent selection, and we found mostly everything we needed there. As mentioned in previous reviews, there isn't anywhere really to eat out or get a takeaway... but as I said the house has everything you'd need to cook your own meals if you did a grocery shop on the way. We opted for the drive to Dungarvan (about 15 mins) to get a takeaway each night. Dungarvan had a nice selection of Indian, Chinese and Chippers.
John was a great host, and we felt really well taken care of. We were really comfortable knowing we could drop him a message if we needed anything. We would highly recommend John's Place for a stay away.
