Big Micks is an absolutely lovely spot. Myself and my boyfriend were there for one night last year and we loved it so much we decided to head back again for a few nights.
It's absolutely ideal for a peaceful getaway. The scenery is fantastic and the accommodation is so cosy; the perfect size for two of us though there are two kids beds upstairs too.
Plenty of appliances: toaster, kettle, oven, hob, fridge, freezer shelf, an absolutely lovely waterfall shower and a cosy stove/fireplace for which Jackie and Co. Will happily provide you with materials to put a fire on. Really adds to the cosy peaceful feeling!
Something to note is that the Internet is seriously limited there, because naturally you're out in the Irish countryside. It incentivises curling up with a book in front of the fire and taking a break from the virtual world to truly enjoy your surroundings and I don't think this is a fault by any means - just something to be aware of if you're planning to spend some time online!
There are three delightful doggos to make friends with; a collie and two pugs named Johnny and Rocco. Rocco in particular likes to make himself at home and came by to visit regularly so if you're a fan of dogs I highly recommend! Similarly they're very well behaved and if you want some space from them, they'll happily trot off again.
Lastly you're only about 15-20 minutes from Waterford and maybe 20-35 minutes from Kilkenny, so it's a fantastic spot to explore them both from.
Jackie is a delightful host and highly accommodating. She gives you lots of space but similarly if there's anything you need, she responds quickly and efficiently.
Overall I can't recommend Big Micks more for a cosy, quiet getaway and a fantastic break from busy lives. Will definitely be back again!
