We spent a week at this home during our recent trip to Ireland and to say it was magical would be an understatement. This location is perfect. The views were great and your proximity to town (about 5 miles) is not far, but makes you feel very remote. If you’re looking for a true getaway, this is the right place to find it. The beach being within a stones throw was special and made for some memorable moments. Being at the start of the Cliff Walk was also very convenient. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss it the minute we left for Kilkenny, because I did. The house itself was larger than we needed but contained everything a couple, or family, might need. We only had a few small issues, but they were minor in the grand scheme of things…There was an ant problem in the kitchen and some overly dusty and cobwebbed window panes and there was water damage in spots. We had no air conditioning during a slight heat wave, but fans were available and appreciated. We couldn’t use the fire stove because it was broken (which was fine with the heat) but the windows couldn’t be opened due to needing to be serviced, which made for a pretty stuffy house during the day. The back door to the patio was hard to open and close, which further compounded the air flow/cooling issues. With a little additional care, like making windows and doors work properly, this home would be even better than perfect. All in all, we’d do this again. Being home is great, but that view will always be remembered.
