We had another amazing stay at this property. The kitchen is well equipped for whipping up a meal, there are lots of towels and extra blankets plus laundry amenities and a cozy fireplace which is perfect for a rainy winter stay.Above all, it is pet friendly and the perfect location…only a 5 minute walk to Rathtrevor and nearby forest trails. We’ve stayed before and we will stay again!

The cabin was beautiful. Unfortunately there was a very strong fish smell that lingered throughout our stay. Otherwise I would say it was absolutely perfect!

We returned to the forest hideaway again this year and found it even better than before. The host is super nice and very responsive to questions and needs. It was fully stocked with everything we needed for a fabulous holiday. The beach is perfect for young children as it is shalllow and goes on for miles at low tide.
