• "We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage (our second time)."

  The cottage is spotlessly clean, very comfortable with everything we need. It is located in a very quiet area close to a working farm. There are many lovely beaches nearby. Shops, restaurants & Church also close by. Joan, our host, is a lovely lady. She goes above & beyond to ensure you have a pleasant stay. She leaves a lovely welcome pack of tea, sugar, milk, cake & biscuits. The Cottage is an ideal location for those looking for a nice peaceful rest away from the hustle & bustle of a busy life. We are already booked for next year!

• "We were very disappointed with the property."

  The so-called bathrooms were extremely pokey. The main shower room housed a shower and a tiny sink and toilet with no cabinet or shelves. There was nowhere to even put a toothbrush and swinging a cat would prove extremely difficult. The en-suite with just as pokey and once again there was nowhere to put toiletries, the sink was equally as tiny. We had to work out how all the appliances worked ourselves and did not see the owner, despite her living next door, for 3 days. By that time we had knocked three times and left a note and on the third day had to report that the house had a mouse infestation. It also suffers with lots of flies which meant keeping the windows closed! We were given excuses as to the flies and the mice and the owner did call a company to deal with the mice issue. After that we saw no mice scurrying around the kitchen but looking at the droppings behind the fridge, they had been there for some time. There were dead flies in the house when we arrived and the mouse droppings behind the fridge led us to believe the house had not been cleaned properly. We complained and the main response was to suggest we leave and find somewhere else, which when you are supposed to be on holiday is not a realistic option unless the company provide alternative accommodation, which they were not able to do. The house is on a farm but it is in the centre of the farm and there were times when workers walked past the windows and tractors drove close by. Privacy was an issue and we therefore had to keep the curtains drawn. There was no easy access walks available and you need to drive to walk anywhere. There is no garden, just a front drive. Not really suitable for young children in our opinion.

  "We appreciate you taking time to share your experience and very sorry to hear about your disappointment. We have been renting this farm cottage for 25 years and have had great pleasure in receiving much positive feedback. To address your issues: - The Cottage is cleaned after each letting by a professional company and is further inspected by myself afterwards. - Our usual practice is to come and meet our visitors and personally greet and welcome them to the property on the first evening, but we were unable to contact yourselves during the first evening of your visit, so we did not have the opportunity to go through the basic workings of the cottage with you. - We have a pest control company employed to manage pest related issues who attended the property to rectify this as early as they possibly could. We take great pride in offering the quaint cottage, and its charm, on a farm setting. We have had the pleasure of welcoming visitors are of all ages and nationalities over the years. The information regarding the details of the property and its location are listed in the property description, which we strongly advise all guests to read prior to booking." Property Owner

• "Beautiful little cottage, very clean and all is there what you need!"

  Joan had the table set with a lovely lemon cake, cookies and even fresh milk in the fridge for a welcoming cup of tea! A lovely family too be with. Rose cottage is quite central to New Ross, Wexford, Waterford (via passage east) and the Hook lighthouse. Tinten Abbey with nice walks through the woods and The Hallow fish and steakhouse just around the corner. There's a shed beside the house e.g. for bicycles. Definitely a place to come back!

  Thank you Markus for your lovely feedback. We really enjoyed having you and your family stay in Rose Cottage. Hope to see you all again in the future. Joan Property Owner

• "This cottage was excellent in every way."

  Very well kitted out with facilities including dish washer, and washing machine which we didn't use. The only very slight downfall was needing to get the owners in to help us make sense of the instruction manual for the beautiful new cooker and hob Which worked perfectly well but like all other electronic, computerised equipmejt expected the users to have a degree in compter sciences before the first use. It was clean and comfortable and there was tea, milk, a cake and biscuits there to welcome us on arrival.

  Thank you Julie for your great feedback. I am glad you both enjoyed your stay with us. Hope to see you again in the future. Joan Property Owner

• "We liked the cottage and its location which we found to be very convenient for touring the beautiful area."

  It had everything we expected. Joan did her best to get the TV to pick up British stations but the engineer who came reported that the sycamore tree was obstructing the satellite dish! The double bed we didn’t find particularly comfortable. Maybe it was the thickness of the duvet? The weather was quite warm! An enjoyable stay. Thank you.

  Thank you Alan for your feedback. Unfortunatley we couldn't solve the T.V. issue during your stay with us however the problem has since been rectified. All stations are now availble in our cottage. If only you had voiced your concern about the duvet, I could have given you our lighter Summer duvet on request as the weather is rather unpredictable at the moment. Thanks again for staying with us. We hope to welcome you both again in the near future. Joan Property Owner

  The cottage was lovely and had all the appliances you would need.

  There was a pub close by, called "The Hollow", which served first class meals. After eating there on the first night we knew we would not be going anywhere else to eat. Shops were about 2km away. There were many interesting places to visit in the surrounding area and the only unfortunate part was that our time went too quickly. We had a lovely time and are looking forward to going back for another holiday. Therese & Kevin
