Danielle, Thank you for taking the time to post review. It is nice to see that you had all you needed and were happy with the beds. Our heating is centrally controlled being on for hours in the evening and morning. You have in each bedroom control of thermostat setting which allows you to turn up or down heat level you require. It is not in our interest to have guests unhappy with the temperature.

Phyllis and TJ were amazing hosts. They could not have been more friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, and there is a sitting room and beautiful garden space for guests to enjoy. The breakfast was fantastic and included home made brown bread and jam!

The property was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was made to order and served in a beautifully decorated room. The Holy Cross bar across the street served huge servings sizes of great tasting food. We took a ten mile drive to the neat little town of Tramore to experience the ocean.

Outstanding....lots of little details..Charming!
This is by far the BEST B&B I have ever stayed at. The house is just beautiful and Carol, the inn keeper thought of every single detail. She makes a cook to order breakfast from 4 choices for each guest. The food was also so fresh and delish. Carol is a national champion of the Irish Bread Baking Competition. You can also have your laundry done for a small fee. There is a great place to eat just across the street for lunch and dinner. There were four of us women traveling from the U.S. and this was our favorite place to stay.

Hi Lana, Thank you so much for your wonderful review on your stay with us at Ashleigh House. I am Phyllis Lana, not Carol but sure it is easy to get mixed up with names as you meet so many people. Winning the All Ireland Brown Bread Baking Competition has certainly been a great talking point among my guests when they see the book with all the details on the competition. Delighted you favored our B&B as the best on your trip. We really do try and have all guests leave with happy memories. We would love to have ye return some other time. Thanks again Lana

On the Road to Waterford...
The location is on a main highway so it is easy to find. Private parking is available in front of the home. The rooms are small. Be sure to read the house rules. A pub is within walking distance for dinner, otherwise you need to drive for other options. Breakfast was delicious.

We arrived much much later than the check in time but were gretted so warmly. I cannot say enough good things about the hosts. They were a true depiction of Irish hospitality. The room was clean, quiet, and very spacious. The breakfast was superb, and they even catered to the tastes of our two toddlers. If you need to stay in Waterford, I would ONLY stay here!

Easy to find if you travel from Fern.Great hosts.. The dining room seats six people so you may have to wait for breakfast The walls are thin and you can hear people in other rooms and walking upstairs. The bed was comfortable but the wrought iron frame was noisy everytime you moved it would wake you up. The beds are not king. It was a queen.

Hi Bryan, I am very confused with review as it does not match what is the accommodation we offer. Our dining room seats 15 people. All our walls are solid concrete, not partition type we do not have any wrought iron frame beds. We always welcome reviews however they must relate to the property in which you stayed at as otherwise reviews wrongly submitted can do a lot of harm to our business.

Very nice
We were in room 1, on the ground floor, which was lovely. It had a double bed and 2 twin beds, so we used the extra bed to put our suitcases on. There were two nice chairs to sit in. Our window faced the lovely backyard with a lawn, garden and pond. Phylis was a great hostess. She told us where to find a laundromat. The breakfast choices were great - we could order a 1/2 of an Irish breakfast, pancakes or French toast. There was also fruit salad. The location was fine, not right in the city, but not far from there and also not far from a waterfall. I definitely recommend staying here when in the area.

Thank you Denise for your review. It is always nice to hear that you enjoyed the breakfast and lots of local advice which we believe helps to make your stay more enjoyable.

Hope you enjoyed your trip around Ireland.
