Sam is an exceptional host, really fun to chat to, very responsive and very helpful. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. It had everything we needed and more. Of the many little perks provided by Sam, the fresh eggs were a particular favourite. The cottage is beside Sam's house, but you still have all the privacy you need and it's brilliant to have Sam and family (including friendly dogs) so close when needed.
The location is superb and has nice views on the drive in. It's suitably remote if you're looking for a place to relax, but it's also within a very short drive of a few large towns, the mountains and the coast. We used it as a base to drive along the Copper Coast and through the Suir valley, to see Kilkenny Castle and to hike the Coumshingaun Lough loop in the Comeraghs. The forest is as lovely as the photos make it look. I would highly recommend a stay here.
