We had a great week in John's house in the beautiful village of Stradbally. The house is clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The village is quaint and colourful and has a fantastic wee beach nearby (10 minute walk). John was incredibly helpful with recommendations for local eateries and activities and was available throughout the week to answer questions. It's great part of Ireland with lots to do, even for our 2 boys (6 and 3) who really enjoyed their visits to Ardmore mini zoo and Tramore amusements as well as several local beaches.
I highly recommend Monavaud Lodge to anyone wanting to explore this area.
