Great place. Best place we stayed. Particularly liked the back yard for the boys to play soccer (and burn off some steam)

Dear Nick,
Thank you for choosing us for your stay while exploring the Southeast and for being wonderful guests. We are glad you enjoyed the house and it’s walkability within New Ross.
Easily the best Vrbo our family stayed in during our trip to Ireland. Great house that can fit a large group and host that made us feel at home. The town of New Ross is so cute, close to lots of attractions, and easy base to get to other towns in the area. Wish we had stayed longer!

Thank you Michaela for your kind words and for being great guests. We hope you can return some day and stay longer.
We stayed for four nights in June and it was perfect!Paula's communication before arrival was prompt and caring. The property has everything that you might need and more. Spacious and airy, the house is a short distance from anything that you might need. I can't recommend this house highly enough as we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

This is a fantastic property. The location is perfect and New Ross has some interesting sites and great restaurants. This property was very comfortable and extremely well maintained. The bedrooms were perfect and the bathrooms excellent. The owner’s agent was welcoming and even had sconces and tea for us. Overall this property is a 10+.

Wow, what an amazing stay we had in New Ross! The house is absolutely gorgeous—spacious, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. We loved cooking family meals in the kitchen, hanging out in the big back garden, and just enjoying the beautiful views from every single room.The location couldn’t be better—walking distance to pubs and restaurants, plenty of grocery stores nearby, and so many stunning beaches just a short drive away. After long days out exploring, it was such a treat to come back to comfy beds and hot showers.The little touches really made it special—like the easy QR code for the WiFi, board games for family nights, and how clean and tidy everything was when we arrived. The host was fantastic and always quick to respond to questions, which made everything so easy. Honestly, this house is perfect for a family reunion or a friends’ getaway. We loved every minute and couldn’t recommend it highly enough!
