When my visiting friend from Florida and I made the call to make an impromptu stop in Waterford for a night on our way down to Cork from Dublin, I hopped online quickly and combed through a few options before finding this DREAM of a house.
She's a naturalist and was excited to get out of the city and into quieter terrain, so this rural, historic property was perfect. I left it a surprise, knowing she'd flip when she saw the thatched roof, and she did! When we saw the adorable interior and strolled around the property, we were over the moon.
A really wonderful place to experience the countryside without straying too far from civilisation, and the host Mick was so nice to meet and talk with! I'll be recommending his place to everyone I know who comes through the area.
