We had a lovely stay for three nights in Kilmacthomas. We really enjoyed the accommodation, there was a welcome basket with some treats, as well as milk in the fridge! I found the lockbox a little fiddly to open (but please bear in mind I have four children and we had a long drive to get there so this may not have helped me!). Lots of info at the house about the local takeaways and cafés, and the house was very clean and welcoming. There are two bathrooms, and three rooms (two are double beds, the third was a triple room with bunk bed and a single). The triple room is downstairs, which I didn’t realise until we arrived, so two of the kids were downstairs. I wasn’t totally sure about this as one of the kids has a medial condition that requires night time monitoring, so this wasn’t too convenient for us. It wasn’t a total deal breaker either, but as I said I didn’t realise this until we arrived and I would have preferred to be aware of that. The house was well equipped, there are lots of cookware, plates etc. If I could make one suggestion on a selfishly personal level, it would be really great if there was a highchair and cot. Again it’s not the end of the world either but it would just be a super addition for some families! The kids really enjoyed using the Wii, such a great novelty to have this to use. Beds were comfy and parking was fine we usually managed a spot outside the door of the house.
We were in the area for a family event so we didn’t do too much activities, but we did visit the Medieval museum in Waterford city, where we had a lovely lunch at Bishops Place café, you can see this cafe from the door of the museum! We also tried the playground at Bunmahon 👍🏻 but the local one behind the Centra shop was closed when we tried to visit. Copper Coast mini farm was also a big hit with the kids and there is lots of space for picnics too. There is a lovely walk under the bridge beside the house and up towards the viaduct. Kilmacthomas is a lovely village and we would hope to return again sometime! Thank you for the hospitality.
