The Granville Hotel

The Granville Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What a quaint old hotel! A truly remarkable place. It is convenient and walkable to town events and a town festival was right up the street. The pub had live music daily and the food was great. There is parking close by which was a plus for being in town"

Thistledown Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment you pull in the driveway you get a sense of calm. The landscape is absolutely stunning. You are greeted at the door by one of the owners. They show you around then take you upstairs to your room. The decor was very calming and having its own bathroom in your room is a great bonus. Breakfast was made to order and prepared by o e of the owners as well. These 2 men have created a BnB that they should be extremely proud of. If we ever come back to this part of Ireland, we will 100% stay there again."

"We had a fantastic stay at the cabins! Cabin is a decent size with basic facilities, but that's all we needed! There is a kettle, microwave, tableware and no toiletries, but that wasn't a problem as we had our own. Despite being in a camping site is a lovely and quiet area, with a tennis court and a small playground for kids. Ww will definitely be back at some stage as we all loved thos little gem! 💖"

Beautifully Restored Coach House In Woodlands Overlooking the Suir Estuary

Beautifully Restored Coach House In Woodlands Overlooking the Suir Estuary

10/10 Excellent
"We just spent a wonderful week at the Coach House and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Everything was comfortable, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. The thoughtful personal touches—especially the delicious homemade brown bread, wine, and chocolates & so much more—made it all the more special and truly memorable. Brendan and Jean have thought of everything to make The Coach House the perfect place to relax and unwind, and we felt at home from the moment we arrived. We especially loved the beautiful courtyards & spent many hours reading & listening to the birds. We will definitely return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special getaway."

9.6/10 (8 reviews)
Situated in County Wexford, and overlooking the south coast of Republic of Ireland, the ancient Tintern Abbey stands on the edge of a small area of woodland on the crystalline waters of the Barrow Bay inlet. Surrounded by lush greenery, this Cistercian abbey was built at the turn of the 13th Century by the then Earl of Pembroke, who swore to build an abbey here after his boat was caught in a storm off the nearby coast. Named after Tintern Abbey in Wales, County Wexford’s abbey is now in ruins.
