The cottage was charming and lived up to the description on the Airbnb site. We were greeted with a smile by Elspeth on arrival and presented with eggs from her own ducks and tomatoes that had been picked from her greenhouse. The manual for the house was very helpful and comprehensive - it was easy to get the hang of everything quickly. The beds were comfy and we slept well. The cottage is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland and it is within easy reach of so many interesting places - beautiful Inistioge, Kilkenny, Waterford, Hook Head, Waterford. The area has so many scenic walks that there is no excuse for sitting inside, but if you do there is a lovely cosy wood-burning stove and a plentiful supply of wood.
We stayed in the cottage for more than four weeks and were genuinely sorry to go home - in fact the cottage had become our home. Elspeth and Gerard were super hosts, generous, attentive and very friendly. We have great memories of our stay and are very likely to pay a return visit.
