We spent the 1st week of August in Ray’s house. The house suited our needs perfectly with loads of space and everything we needed. The fact it had s large garden and is fully enclosed was ideal for letting our dog run free.
Communication was easy, house was clean, no complaints!
There’s plenty to do and see in the area for a week. We were lucky with good sunshine and very little rain! We stayed local, didn’t venture too far away.
Things to do/see and our thoughts!
- the par 3 golf/foot golf/crazy golf nearby is good for a bit of fun!
- the many beaches - the smaller beaches around Fethard are best, much nicer and cleaner than Duncannon
- kayaking with the Irish experience in Fethard - a great 3h trip into caves etc and you get all the history from entertaining guides
- Tintern abbey/walled gardens / nice walks worth a trip
- hook lighthouse is obviously worth a visit
- the walk from slade to hook along coast pathway is highly recommended with spectacular scenery, an easy walk.
When not out and about the house is great to relax and had a basketball hoop, trampoline and tennis net as well as indoor games/quiz cards/ etc. There is a big outdoor deck for sitting out in the sunshine!
Restaurants are limited in the immediate area. The vine cottage in Saltmills is great for lunch - and had a great outdoor area. The best restaurant in the area , just 10 minutes from the house, is the hollow inn near Ramsgrange and worth a visit. Real fish , not deep fried in batter! O’Dwyers is a good take away for fast food and battered fish and the best chips!!
The SuperValu in Wellington bridge is the best place to stock up - better value and more choice than the local Londis shop in Fethard.
Thanks Ray! We had a good week.
