Irish hospitality met us at the door and the enchantment of this country cottage tucked away in farmland outside New Ross remained throughout our stay. Many thanks to our host!
Was a great spot for our trip the owners were wonderful with communication. The fireplace was a nice bonus. Thank you Helen and Frank, Jim and Terri from NY
We had a great time and loved the cottage. There was everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Whenever you wanted something you would find it here. The cottage had a homely feel about it and we spent a lot of time in the garden. It is isolated but close to all the tourist attractions which were easy to get to. Helen and Frank were lovely hosts. We will return.
We had a very relaxing week in the peaceful countryside of Ballycullane. The house was very comfortable and excellently kitted out. Our very welcoming and friendly hosts were so generous with their time. The house is within easy driving of beautiful beaches and also a lot of historical places.
Very nice located and decorated cottage. Three bed- and two bath rooms. Open kitchen and living room.
Would come definitly again.

About the host
Your host
I am a farmer & retired theater nurse. I am the 4th generation of my family to live on and work this farm. My great grand parents were evicted from the farm and fortified farmhouse , in August 1888, during the Irish land war but bought it back again later - hence the historical name, from that time, "Somers Fort".
Why they chose this property
" Hogan's Cottage" was originally an old cow byre, converted using mostly original and some locally sourced materials in 2000 as our millennium project. It still has some exposed stone walls, old wooden beams and an old slate floor , retaining much of its character - at the same time it was also fitted out with a new central heating system and all modern conveniences.
