Best place for Vacation
We felt very comfortable there and enjoyed the peace and quiet, the view, and the comfort of the house!
The laundry and cooking supplies were also exceptionally good. I love good knives for cooking, and I was very happy with the selection!

Stunning
Beautiful area of Wexford, easy to take passage east ferry to county Waterford where Dunmore East has terrific beaches and views.
The Strand at Duncannon was great for evening meal but need to book as it gets busy.The other pub is also very good but doesn't take bookings so go early .
The village of Duncannon is breathtaking on a sunny day with a beach a mile long,
First time to Ireland, but it won't be the last.

I booked a great house for my holiday in Ireland with Shamrock Cottages. When making the booking the staff were friendly and very helpful at all times, including with booking the ferry. Westport was a great place to spend St. Patrick’s Day with its bars and restaurants, and is a good base for exploring this area of Ireland.

Several times booket - several times satisfaction
I've booked through Shamrock Cottages several times before, and the houses have always been excellent. The price, quality, and service were all great.
This time there was a minor booking issue, but it was resolved quickly and to our complete satisfaction. I will definitely visit Shamrock Cottages again when booking my next trip to Ireland.
