“The location was excellent.”

Stunning sea views. Susan was extremely helpful. Loads of extras in the house. Enclosed back yard was a great bonus. While there don't miss the Duncannon Fort which has to be booked in advance and is just steps away.

“We had a fantastic time in Sea view Cottage.”

The weather was beautifull and Cottage overlooks beach where we spent lots of happy hours . The Cottage had everything we needed and many extras as well. We particularly liked outside private area at back great for breakfast or relaxing. Susan was very helpfull and easy to talk to. There is a lot to do and see in the area and everyone was very nice. I would highly recommend this cottage.

“Sea View cottage is located across the road from and has super views of the lovely sandy, safe beach and the estuary out to sea.”

The cottage is well fitted out very well and has a good range of equipment. The bedrooms are a good size and the beds are very comfortable. The sitting room was cosy and comfortable and the real fire added to the enjoyment. Duncannon village is quite small and has a mix of old and new buildings and the pubs have plenty of old photos to show what it was like in bygone times. The surrounding area is charming with the Hook lighthouse only a short drive from the cottage. Being mid-winter the weather was stormy on a few days and this provided spectacular scenes along the coast. While a car is necessary to make full use of the area, I was pleasantly surprised that there was a local bus service to Waterford City and adjoining villages a couple of times a day. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay in a very charming and well equipped property. A return visit will be in our future plans.

“Lovely Stay at Seaview Cottage”

My wife and I stayed here in June for a week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As a previous reviewer stated, Susan the owner has thought of everything for the guest here at Seaview. It is extremely spacious throughout, simply decorated and very homely. It's location is the best you can get, in the heart of the village, literally a 1-2 minutes walk to Duncannon's beautiful beach. It is again only a couple of minutes to Duncannon's two pubs who both serve really lovely food. So much so that we hardly cooked during our stay, it was that good! It is also a great base for touring the beautiful south Wexford coast.Susan the host has provided a little gem of a property for people to stay in and this will not be our last time staying at Seaview Cottage that's for sure.

“Location+organisation”

Just back from spending a week @this fisherman's cottage with my wife and 2 children under 5 ! Never before seen a house so well organised ? The lady that rents this house has literally everything thought of ! 1 spotlessly clean 2 right on the beach 3 nice suntrap of a back yard with barbecue 4 pub, shop, and chips hop all 1 minutes walk away If I could think of a drawback the only one is no bath but with 2 showers it's not a big problem To sum up ! We had a great holiday

“Fantastic!!!”

On discussion with my fellow travellers we came to the conclusion that we didn't want to recommend this property, because we want to stay there any time we want. However, we thought that it wouldn't be fair. The property is just across the road from the small Duncannon beach, so every morning you pull the curtains back to the fantastic views of the sea, whatever the weather. Although some of the furnishings were a bit tired everything was spotlessly clean and the cottage was well equipped. Our stay was more than very comfortable and the photographs don’t do it justice. The village itself is very quiet with two really good pubs serving well above average bar food, and the staff and locals were very welcoming. There are good road links to the local towns and a regular bus service, though having not used it I really can’t comment, so it's a really good base for sightseeing. We booked the Hook Head Safaris for an afternoon with Sean who showed us the local area with many an amusing tale about its history. Well worth the money. Check Trip Advisor for reviews. This is one place that I would definitely return to, a week was not quite long enough.

“Perfect holiday”

The cottage was exactly as described in the advert and could not be in a more perfect location. It is just across the road (very quiet) from a marvellous beach, with a pub and shop within a minute's walk. There is also a working harbour and a fort very close by and a new play area. The owner met us at the property and had lit the fire which was lovely. The cottage is very well equipped and the only negative aspect is that it does not have a bath (there are two bathrooms with showers), a fact we knew when we booked and everything else was exactly as we required. One of the nicest things was that there was not a long list of 'dos and donts'! The whole area is lovely with plenty to see and do, even out ot season. We also located nearly every playground in South East Ireland and our two girls of 4 and 7 were never bored. It sounds a cliche but everybody that we had any dealings with was friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend Sea View Cottage to anyone and wish we had found it sooner!

“FANTASTIC”

Great little find. Lovely cottage. Well equipt. Fabulous welcome. Could not praise enough. Duncannon is a great spot. Two lovely pubs, friendly locals and handy shop. Not far from Waterford via car ferry

“Perfect for relaxing and enjoying Southern Ireland”

This was our final stop on our round-the-world trip and was the perfect choice. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, w/d, woodstove, full kitchen, back patio, ample parking, t/v with dvd's and a few board games. 40ft. from the beach. Very quiet pub around the corner. Convenience store on other corner. Duncannon is very small and low key. No noise, only the beach, a few locals and some morning fog. This was also a good base to tour the southern countryside. 2 hours to blarney, 1.5 to wicklow mountains, and 45 min to waterford. Great price to boot. Would definitely stay again.
