Michael
A most enjoyable stay in a cottage with all the facilities and comfort. I couldn't find fault with anything, although a colander in the kitchen would be good (it's ok I improvised!). The state of the art cooker and hob, are quite straight forward, and explained well by Michael on arrival. The path to the holiday cottage which is behind the owners' property, is fully paved, and meanders through an attractive garden that provides total seclusion, so no fear of being overlooked. A great stay in a beautiful part of Co. Waterford, and highly recommended. The otters on view from the bridge over the river at Agherne in Co. Cork were quite a highlight of my stay.

We loved it! But the best part are the hosts, Michael and Ann. They're right next door, and are completely responsive to everything you need. The view of the Knockmealdown Mountains from the upstairs bedroom is stunning. The attention to detail in the construction of the cottage--tiles, wooden floors and ceilings, spacious bedrooms--is wonderful. All of the beds are extremely comfortable, with beautiful quilts and many extra towels. The kitchen is very well equipped, although it would be useful to have written instructions for the state-of-the-art oven and stove, and for the wood stove. On the other hand, Michael is great about coming over and demonstrating. There is electric heat in the bedrooms which are upstairs. But If it happens to be chilly and rainy, you do need to use the wood stove, which will heat up the first floor. The bathroom has a great shower with plenty of hot water, but can be chilly without the wood stove going. If you're older and need to get to the bathroom at night, a little flashlight can be handy, and you can leave a light on downstairs. Michael and Ann are the friendliest hosts you will ever meet. They're great to talk to but not the least bit intrusive, and they have great suggestions for where to go in the area, like the beautiful Dromana House and the seaside village of Dungarvan (where you can often find traditional music sessions.) Cappoquin is five minutes away and has a good supermarket, a drug store, and a bakery/coffee shop.
