This is a beautiful place - totally idyllic. We visited in July 2022 with small kids who loved exploring the gardens. Cottage has everything you need for a great stay. It's handy to some local attractions and well within travelling distance of other places - Lismore Castle, river cruise from Villierstown, and a trip to the Beach at Youghal were easily accessed. Also worth checking out Dungarvan and Tramore (if you don't mind busy). Really brilliant place and would recommend for anyone. Would be amazing in the winter too with the wood burning stoves. Didn't get to meet Patrick but would recommend contacting via phone as internet is poor in the area.
