Cannot wait to come back here and wish we could have stayed longer! Paula was extremely helpful and responsive, giving us ideas of walks we could do from the house, she's definitely very familiar with the area. The house was very clean and full of light from gorgeous huge windows with great views. Seems like a perfectly sleepy and quaint little road, we loved walking down to the Hook Head Lighthouse for breakfast. An ideal quiet coastal getaway!

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay in this very special little part of the world. Walking to the lighthouse for breakfast is one of our favourite things do. Check out breakfast in Fethard-on-Sea next time! Would love to host you and your group again. Thank you for your kind review.

A charming coastal oasis! If we could stay here forever we would. We absolutely loved how open and bright the house felt, and how quiet the surrounding area was. Stunning views and the house is very accessible to beautiful countryside and coastal walks. Paula gave us incredible recommendations for food and places to check out during our stay, and elevated our experience in this town. We hope to return someday and will absolutely be staying here again if we do!

I’m so glad you and your group had such a great time during your stay, as you aptly put it, in our coastal oasis. It really is a special area. I’m also delighted the food and activity recommendations worked out. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and look forward to hosting you again someday.

Instandhaltungsprobleme und zu einsehbar von der Straße, sonst ein schönes Haus, vor allem im ersten Stock.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Sept 2025
Thank you for alerting me to a minor maintenance issue. The house is in a very rural area, set back back from the road, entirely enclosed by either wall, fence or hedge, with both light filtering and blackout blinds.

I grew up in New Ross and have lived in many locations since but I’m always drawn back to the area.

Why they chose this property

Hook Head holds a special place in my heart and now in the hearts of my children. It is where I spent many hours exploring as a child on Sunday afternoon family outings. Getting an ice cream cone in Campile and trying to make it last all the way to the lighthouse!
