Charming little place. Well, big for a B&B. The breakfast was amazing. Service was impeccable, and the place was spotless. I was highly impressed yo find a fitness suite in a bed & breakfast The hosts were most welcoming - they didn't want us to leave ! The only minor gripe was a green LED light on the ceiling of our room, very tiny but bright enough to affect sleep. Don't let that put you off staying here though. If we had stayed another night I would just have taped something over it to block it out.

Samuels Heritage Recommendation
The owners of Samuels Heritage were very nice and very helpful from the time you check in until you leave. The room was spacious and very comfortable and spotless. There is a lovely guests lounge where you can make tea, toast and heat up food on the microwave. A large fridge to keep your food in. For sports fans the tv in the lounge has full Sky package . We stayed two nights and would have no hesitation in recommending Samuels Heritage. The breakfast was excellent and the home made scones were very nice.

Best home made breakfast ever, not just in Ireland which we had total of 6, but all over the world. Susan’s home making was so good that we were disappointed at all other Irish breakfasts we had in following 5 days. Daz, the husband , was very helpful in helping me to buy necessary personal belongs in nearby Testco, due to loss of my luggage by Aer Lingus. It was indeed felt at home during the stay.

We enjoyed a very comfortable stay for our first night in Ireland after arriving on the ferry from Fishguard. Des and Susan were very friendly and welcoming on a dark rainy night. After a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed we were provided with a delicious breakfast along with much helpful tourist information. We would definitely stay again!

Samuel's Heritage is a jewel, Susan is a star. The breakfast was excellent, the view from the site magnificent, the property beautiful, beds comfortable, and sat nav took us right there - we arrived late, and our host was very understanding. Handy for Waterford, but still nice and rural: we could easily have relaxed there for a few days had we known how lovely this place is.

Our impressions are based on a fleeting visit as we only stayed one night and had to leave very early the following morning, but we were very favourably impressed. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, whilst the room was very spacious and comfortable. I would have no reservations about staying there again.
