| "An absolute jem! Dont go there if youre looking for hustle and bustle - it is sadly lacking!
It is such a beautiful spot and the cottage is chocolate box outside and very well equipped inside without loosing any of its charm. If I had to selec t one thing that could be better - I couldnt!
The lane to it isinteresting and I wouldnt want to drive it in anything too wide or low."

| "Jacks Cottage is a hidden gem of a getaway destination. Its website photos barely do it justice. To us it was the perfect chocolate box old world cottage that one dreams of as a child. Better still its surroundings simply could not have been bettered in terms of sheer scenic beauty and peace. Our week flew in this very comfortable, pretty cottage which was so tastefully and thoughtfully decorated within. Im ashamed to say we did not do much touring of the surrounding area as we were so content to sit in the garden, watch the river go by, bird spot or try to look out for the otters. Our only problem now is that we dont want to rent other cottages in the future as we feel nothing can live up to this wonderful experience. Our huge thanks to the owners Ben and Bridie who were so kind and welcoming and made sure that we wanted for nothing. They really made the week for us!"

| "A beautiful property, in lovely peaceful surroundings. Thought the children may not like location but they totally loved it. Lovely beach at Ardmore nearby, Lismore castle and gardens also near. Otters to be seen in the river at the bottom of the garden if you are lucky enough to catch a glimpse.
We were looked after brilliantly by Ben & Bridie, it was lovely to have some welcome items tea, coffee, bread, jam etc
Would definitely recommend this property"

| "Paying from Holland is only possible by creditcard. This cost 50 euro. From GBR you can pay by debit card. Because theire is no 3 digit number on this Dutch card you can not use this. Why is their not a possibility to pay by bank transaction. It takes only a few days to get the money at Villarenters.
We are very possitive about the cottage, the surrounding and ofcourse the hosts mrs and mr Brittain.
Greetings from Kees and Patricia.
Note for the hosts: (Bridie, we send you the wooden cheesedisk very soon)"

| "Maybe it is that Jacks Cottage is at the end of the lane that made us feel it was our own private tranquil place and nobody elses! We came in May and the hedgerows were full of spring flowers and a few steps through the gate the peaceful blackwater river amazed us. The cottage itself has kept its traditional charm and yet has every modern day comfort. Most holiday cottages have mixed reviews this one being the exception, we could hardly tear ourselves away from this sunny relaxing haven ...........happy memories."

We really liked the location. Although, we did not have that much time to enjoy the cottage. The little time we spent there was great."

| "Once we arrived at Jack Cottage (the finally part of the way is a little adventures) we were at exactly the place we had wished for when we booked our vacation!
Peaceful nature, wonderful house (which is very well equipped) and people.
We spend a wonderful week at Jack’s Cottage, there is lot’s to do and see and it is also very nice to just spend time in this hide-away.
We recommend Jack Cottage for couples, families with children… for all really who need a break from the busy world!
Thanks Bridie and Ben.

| "We’ve just returned home from our second visit to Jack’s cottage. Without a doubt this is the perfect hideaway for a stress free break. From the minute you step into this charming cottage, you will fell relaxed it’s hard not to in such peaceful surroundings. When you open the half door it is obvious the care and attention that the owners Bridie and Ben have poured into the restoration of this 17th century cottage. It is not so much a holiday cottage but a “home from home”. The cottage has every modern convenience you could want and has wonderful touches the bathroom is fabulous!!!
We found lots of great beaches and nice towns nearby. Our children (age four and two) had a wonderful time here enjoying the surrounding area and making new memories and have not stopped talking about it since we returned home. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to making new memories of Jack’s cottage in the years to come.
All in all Jack’s cottage is the perfect getaway for a relaxing, stress free break.

| ""A little piece of heaven down on irish earth"
We spent our winter holidays at this beautiful traditional cottage in the area of the Blackwater Valley. The owners have restored the old house with love and carefulness and created a great accomodation with the charm of the past times.
But with all modern conveniences. We loved it to sit in front of the fireplace after an exiting day in the surrounding countryside. Or we took a relaxing shower in the luxury renovated bathroom. Everything is all right to enjoy a wonderful stay! There is only one thing we would like to tell you... The lane down to the cottage is really narrow and a little bit adventurous.
But believe us: "Practice makes perfect!" We can recommend Jacks Cottage warmly!"

| "My dream came true when we stayed here for our honeymoon (fall 2008). Beautiful cottage, well maintained with very generous owners. In all honesty did not want to leave such beautiful, unspoiled land near Blackwater River. Spent a week and had great day trips to Lismore, Ardmore and Cork and Ballycotton. We love the outdoors and spent every day bird watching and every night watching bats and owls. Nothing but peace and serenity! WONDERFUL!!"

| "Jacks Cottage is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest and offers everything needed for a truly relaxing break. Its secluded location, right on the river, makes relaxation almost inevitable whilst its convenient proximity to many of the main tourist-sites in Waterford, Wexford, Tipperary and Cork means that days out are not spent in the car.
The Cottage has been decorated and furnished to a very high standard and the owners are expert in making people feel welcome. Every effort is made to make the cottage feel like a home away from home, with a full range of appliances and kitchen utensils.
This is one of the best cottages weve ever stayed at and it will be our first choice of places to stay if we holiday in South East Ireland again."

| "The cottage is the perfect rural retreat - a picture postcard Irish cottage with all modern conveniences inside. Perfect location for children and also pets as it is very isolated with no traffic. Everything you could need has been provided in the cottage - and you will feel that you are home from home."

"25th Aug - 1st Sept 2007
What a wonderful cottage! The peace and quiet was a far cry from our normal city life and we all felt at home here. Visited Waterford Crystal, Blarney Castle, Lismore Castle and Ballysaggartmore Towers. Had a gorgeous meal at the Mill restaurant in Dungarvan and explored the town. I think this will be the first of many visits to Ireland, so we may well return to this beautiflu little hidey hole.
Many thanks from

What an amazing, awe-inspiring, peaceful place on earth. We had an incredible weekend of hiking, canoning, nature watching and listening and simply relaxing. There is no question in our minds that we will be back...and not in the too distant future. Thank you so much for everything.

What a paradise, so peaceful, quiet and love the view over the reeds to the river. I came here stressed and go away feeling much better. Bridie, Ben and family your cottage, surrounds and hospitality are priceless. Thank you.
