"Great stay."
. would recommend this property for couples and senior singles. Not good for small children… but there is a lovely beach in Duncannon ten minutes drive away. Highly recommend the Strand in Duncannon for food and Guinness

"Beautiful little cottage, very clean and all is there what you need!"
Joan had the table set with a lovely lemon cake, cookies and even fresh milk in the fridge for a welcoming cup of tea! A lovely family too be with. Rose cottage is quite central to New Ross, Wexford, Waterford (via passage east) and the Hook lighthouse. Tinten Abbey with nice walks through the woods and The Hallow fish and steakhouse just around the corner. There's a shed beside the house e.g. for bicycles. Definitely a place to come back!
Thank you Markus for your lovely feedback. We really enjoyed having you and your family stay in Rose Cottage. Hope to see you all again in the future. Joan Property Owner

"This cottage was excellent in every way."
Very well kitted out with facilities including dish washer, and washing machine which we didn't use. The only very slight downfall was needing to get the owners in to help us make sense of the instruction manual for the beautiful new cooker and hob Which worked perfectly well but like all other electronic, computerised equipmejt expected the users to have a degree in compter sciences before the first use. It was clean and comfortable and there was tea, milk, a cake and biscuits there to welcome us on arrival.
Thank you Julie for your great feedback. I am glad you both enjoyed your stay with us. Hope to see you again in the future. Joan Property Owner

"We liked the cottage and its location which we found to be very convenient for touring the beautiful area."
It had everything we expected. Joan did her best to get the TV to pick up British stations but the engineer who came reported that the sycamore tree was obstructing the satellite dish! The double bed we didn’t find particularly comfortable. Maybe it was the thickness of the duvet? The weather was quite warm! An enjoyable stay. Thank you.
Thank you Alan for your feedback. Unfortunatley we couldn't solve the T.V. issue during your stay with us however the problem has since been rectified. All stations are now availble in our cottage. If only you had voiced your concern about the duvet, I could have given you our lighter Summer duvet on request as the weather is rather unpredictable at the moment. Thanks again for staying with us. We hope to welcome you both again in the near future. Joan Property Owner

"Had a very pleasant and relaxing stay in Rose Cottage."
Joan and her family are wonderful hosts and made us feel so welcome. The cottage was first class in every department. Really liked the welcome pack of a cake , biscuits ,tea and milk . A lovely touch on arrival after our journey. Would stay there again.

"The farm location was perfect for a quiet and peaceful holiday Joan was the most friendly and informative owner, giving us valuable local information The property was traditional, comfortable and spotlessly clean."
Thoroughly recommended
-
"Absolutely perfect holiday, perfect host, perfect home and delightful surroundings."
-
"Rose Cottage was very well equipped with everything that we needed, it was spotlessly clean and very welcoming."
The only down side was that the weather was so beautiful and warm that we did not need to light the fire which was left all ready for us, a fire would have made it even more cosy.
-
"The Cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed."
We had a wonderful welcome from our host Joan and had cake and biscuits awaiting us on our arrival. Cottage very close to all tourist attractions and Beaches, lovely pubs an Restaurants . The Ferry over to Passage East was an extra bonus well worth a trip to Dunmore East. Cant wait to return.

We wanted for nothing while we stayed there

"Sofa is not that comfortable if you a larger person and tv is very small ..."
Sofa is not that comfortable if you a larger person and tv is very small however the owner is smashing and the location is excellent
-
"Mrs Cooley was very friendly and helpful."
The cottage was lovely and had all the appliances you would need. I was very happy to see there was a wifi connection as I didn't realise that my phone service provider would not be available in Ireland. Southern Ireland is a beautiful place to visit and I would recommend anyone to go and to stay in Rose Cottage.
-
"Fantastic cottage."
Immaculately presented. Wonderful welcome. Love to go back again.
-
"We had a wonderful experience with Joan and her family, our son really enjoyed feeding the lambs, collecting eggs and watching all the farming activities going on in the yard."
The cottage is very close to all of the tourist attractions on the Hook Peninsula and surrounding areas. We were welcomed with open arms and felt very comfortable for the whole week. Many thanks.
-
"The accommodation was second to none and the owner absolutely lovely."
We never like to go back to a previous holiday destination but this was our second time there and we intend many more! Couldn't have asked for more - well except for another week.
-
"The host was great and very friendly and even gave us a tour of their farm."
There were so many things to see and do nearby as well. Great location and great cottage. Would definitely recommend!
-
"We arrived to a warm and comfortable cottage on a cold evening and Joan had lovely scones waiting for us."
There was a pub close by, called "The Hollow", which served first class meals. After eating there on the first night we knew we would not be going anywhere else to eat. Shops were about 2km away. There were many interesting places to visit in the surrounding area and the only unfortunate part was that our time went too quickly. We had a lovely time and are looking forward to going back for another holiday. Therese & Kevin

"What a lovely little house."
.. the scones on arrival were delicious and we loved the farm animals . Close to grocery store, church and Duncannon Beach is a short drive. Waterford City is just a few miles away if you use The Ballyhack Ferry. Sit in the yard and read or sunbathe, we had beautiful weather. Thank you Joan, we would love to come back. Patrick and Ellen.

Outside this charming Wexford cottage is a quaint seating area where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining.
The charming fishing village of Duncannon is home to a wonderful, golden stretch of sandy beach, a popular spot with locals and tourists and the ideal place to spend the day swimming and sunbathing.
The village welcomes many visitors each year, as it is located on the scenic Ring of Hook, and once a year Duncannons Sand Sculpting Festival provides a superb day out where you can witness some remarkable, if short-lived creations.
