About this property

Beautifully Restored Coach House In Woodlands Overlooking the Suir Estuary

The Coach House which is situated in Woodstown, is on the beautiful Suir river estuary in Co. Waterford, Ireland. It is located in 4 acres of quiet woodlands just five minutes walk from Woodstown and Forenaught beaches and only ten minutes drive from the picturesque fishing village of Dunmore East. Whether you want a hideaway for a quiet week or two, to write or paint or walk or do nothing, or if you wish to base yourself in a centrally located coastal area ideally positioned for local touring, this is the place for you.
The restoration and refurbishment of the Coach House at Mount Alto was completed in 2008 to a very high quality standard of finish which is maintained by continuous improvement. The unit is heated by oil-fired under floor heating. Water heating is by central heating and electric immersion heater. An external enclosed private patio is accessible from the lower living area. Broadband internet (Wi-Fi) is provided free for normal internet usage. The accommodation is a smoke free zone. Also we regret that we are unable to cater for pets.
There is a 7 night minimum for bookings during high season, ie. June to September. For the reminder of the year, a 3 night minimum booking applies.

Wonderful visit

We had a great time exploring the area and going for day drives. We had some great times at the pub and inn down the way. Would recommend this for travelers wanting to get away from all the hustle.

Perfect. Although we'd driven all that way to Woodstown (from Derby in England) , we really wanted to stay in the Coach House rather than travel around! Brendan & Jean were perfect hosts - their property really is something to be experienced.

Great Ireland Holiday

We've stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this stay was the best. Spoiled with homemade bread and a gift of wine along with grocery staples to get us started for our two weeks. Loved the location and advice for local outings.

Wonderful place to stay

The Coach House is in such a peaceful, lovely setting, surrounded by trees and very close to a couple of beaches. It is furnished to a very high standard and the outside spaces are perfect for sunbathing and eating outdoors. Brendan and Jean were the perfect hosts and have thought of everything.

We felt at home straight away...cleanliness and comfort were better than other stays in the area we have stayed in before. We would definitely go back and stay in the future.

A great place

It’s a wonderful place for a couple or a family with a kid. Comfortable, clean, well taken care of. A nice welcome package (wine, brown bread, breakfast supplies). The road to the driveway is quite narrow, but take it slow and no problem. The amenities are just as described. We would definitely stay again.

Comfortable home away from home

We were very pleased with our stay at the Coach House. When we arrived it was perfectly set up and ready for us to make it home. They provided all the basic essentials along with some fresh baked bread, a bottle of wine, and chocolate laid out for us to enjoy. The views were amazing, and it’s only about a 10 min drive to Dunmore East and about 20 min to Waterford. We were very blessed to stay at the Coach House!

We loved our time at the Coach House. Brendan and Jean’s generous hospitality was greatly appreciated - food staples, home made bread and welcome gift of wine and chocolates. We loved the walks to local beaches and the beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers. We enjoyed morning coffee listening to the birds in the courtyard.

Brendan and Jean were very thoughtful hosts. They even made us brown bread which lasted the week. The privacy of the location, and proximity to Woodside Beach was an added bonus with so many good walks available to us. We had every amenity one could imagine. We would love to return annually.

A wonderful and romantic hideaway

Woodstown is a beautiful place to stay, not far from the cute village Dunmore East and Tramore (amazing waves and great pubs). The Coachhouse is a lovely accommodation, its interior wonderfully designed and very well equipped. The house is surrounded by stonewalls of the previous 18th (?) century building, which create a very romantic and also historical atmosphere. Brendan and Jean are very kind hosts. Thank you so much for your warm welcome and also for providing some groceries for the first day. We would like to return one day. Best regards Jana & Peter
