The huts and gardens were fantastic. The huts had everything you needed and were clean and tidy. Loved sitting in the hot tub at night watching the bats!

Variety of accomodation.. from Pods & glamping tents to private suites in the Courtyard and gate lodge suitable for 4..all to high standard of decor in unmatched surroundings. Greenway, Waterford and Dungarvan close by..but this is a special place to retreat from all the action and allow the senses to breathe in the wonders of the Forest/ Garden

Wow, this is a truly unique place to stay. Immaculately kept. Beautifully-designed rooms. Feels like staying in nature without roughing it. Staff is friendly and helpful too. The hot tub and access to the gardens were added bonuses. We stayed with our two kids (8 & 6) in a family room and we all enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

If you love gardens come and stay at the Forest.Congreve Gardens are 4 minute walk PLUS they give you a free pass into the gardens which includes dawn to dusk entrance
The pods are lovely and clean and include the supplied kitchenette plus eggs and a crusty loaf
Don’t forget the hot tub on your private deck
The Congreve Gardens are world class
Mary was helpful and very friendly. Sara not so much and in fact did not make me feel welcome.
It is a very cool looking place.
The shower is actually larger than you would think. I just wish it had some place to put the shampoo and soap. Some of the towels were stained, but the bed was really comfortable. Easy check out.
Accueil incroyable, maison avec histoire et cachet qui donne l’impression de vivre dans un autre siècle avec un jardin dont on ne se tanne pas! Un privilège !! Une seule nuit c’etait trop court
