Thank you Aileen and Seamus for meeting us on arrival and for your advice on where to shop and visit. Thank you also for all the basic food supplies, bread, butter, milk, cheese, fruit, tea, coffee, etc. I had packed lots of things that remained in the car boot - soap, dishwasher tabs, coffee, bin liners, etc. I was a little anxious about frequent trips up and down the two flights of stairs, but these were easy.
This apartment is ideally located for the beach just across the road. There were beach chairs in the apartment and it was lovely to make a cup of tea, or buy a coffee at one of the many cafes on the promenade, and just sit on the beach, watching the world go by.
Like Aileen herself and all her guests, we really enjoyed the view from the apartment - probably one of my main reasons for choosing Tramore!
Aside from the wonderful beach and shoreline, Seagull bakery, One the Waterfront (just had coffee there) and the delicious Unbeetable food truck at Pickardstown Service Station, I was rather disappointed by the town. There were very few shops, no place to buy fresh fish and and the food we ordered for delivery was not great.
The location of this apartment is also ideal for visiting other places in Waterford - Dunmore East and its wonderful cliff walk with stunning views and lovely cafes by the harbour. Dungarvan is less than an hour away and worth spending a day there, especially on Thursday when they have a food market in the main square. It was a gloriously sunny day when I visited, which made it all the more attractive. Not forgetting the many scenic beaches all along the Copper Coast and the inland attractions that we sadly did not have time to visit in a week.
