Turning into Hogan's Cottage we knew our stay was going to be all we hoped for in a holiday. Coming into the autumn months the driveway and courtyard were ablaze of colour, the cottage itself basking in the setting sun. Helen was on hand to greet us and give those wee tips that can make a stay so much more personal.
The cottage was perfectly equipped with everything needed to have a comfortable and relaxing break away from the everyday stresses of life.
If there was a level above SuperHost, Helen and Frank would be there. They were friendly, welcoming and engaging but not intrusive, something you don't experience when on packaged holidays. They also had a wonderful understanding attitude when we managed to lock ourselves out of the cottage, while they should have been enjoying their early Sunday morning breakfast. They rushed back from Duncannon, on what must have been their only day off, which was hugely appreciated.
The pups felt as much at home as we did with a couple of large fields practically on the doorstep to run around in at the beginning and end of each day.
The cottage straddled Wexford and Waterford so lots of things to see and do within easy reach, JFK Memorial Arboretum, Kilmokea Manor & Gardens and the Irish National Heritage Park to mention just a few. Dogs welcomed with very few restrictions. Perfect holiday experience.
