We stayed in Ardmore for four days over Christmas. The cottage is in a great location - overlooking the harbour on the lane leading up to the Cliff House Hotel. It's well-equipped and ideal for families - not that we used them during winter - there are wetsuits and beach equipment. It's got character and we loved using the wood burning stove.
Pauline was in touch regularly to see how we were getting on.
Also...Ardmore is a really great spot (which we knew quite well anyway) - probably the prettiest village in Waterford with some lovely pubs and at least two very good restaurants. We also never tire of the cliff-top walk.
