Wonderful Dungarvan Rental

This semi-detached cottage is perfect for active families or small groups seeking a comfortable base from which to explore the beaches, towns and historic ruins scattered across County Waterford's lush green and mountainous landscape. Within 4 miles of Dungarvan and next door to a pub and restaurant, the two-storey cottage features a comfortable lounge, a spacious kitchen/diner and a patio garden.

The cottage is located on a small estate that is surrounded by undulating heathland, with easy access to the coast along the nearby N25. The homely interior is blessed with contemporary soft furnishings scattered across naturally lit rooms. The lounge features corpulent sofas and a large window with garden views, while the kitchen/diner has all the kit foodies need to create family favourites. The airy double bedroom and the large shower room are on the ground floor. Stairs lead to a gallery area with seating that overlooks the kitchen/diner, and it's only a few short steps from here to a large double bedroom with skylights and a large twin bedroom. A second shower room stands nearby. The private patio garden bathes in plenty of natural light during the day, its table and chairs a tranquil perch for morning coffees, al fresco meals and nightcaps after the children have gone to bed.

With a pub and restaurant within 25 metres of the cottage, few would be forgiven for just wanting to stay close to the cottage for most of the break. However, the vibrant market town of Dungarvan (within 4 miles) offers everything from shops and a golf course to a cinema and whale-watching trips from its port. The town is also the starting point of the Waterford Greenway trail, a popular haunt of walkers and cyclists. Ardmore (8 miles) is home to historic sites and a family-friendly beach.
