Jim says: "After a long and tiring journey to reach the cottage (we drove 300 miles from the East of England, took a ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare, and then drove another 90 miles to the cottage) it was a relief to find such a clean, welcoming place as Tobin's Cottage. We are a family of 5, and there was ample room with three bedrooms and three bathrooms (2 with showers and one with a bath/shower). The facilities in the cottage were excellent for the most part. The place was clean, linen was crisp, there was food in the fridge and freezer, even a TV and DVD player. A 15 minute walk down to the secret cove was rewarded with a half pebbly, half sandy beach with views out into the Atlantic. It was very restful. The boys (aged 7,10 and 12) could easily have spent all day down there, with enough pebbles and rocks of varying sizes to build a dam in the stream that made it's way to the sea here. There are all the shopping facilities you'll need for a holiday about 6 miles away in Dungarvan. It would be a difficult place to be without a car or motorbike though. 8 miles away is a great beach at Ardmore, where there's also a fantastic restaurant, with melt-in-the-mouth food, called Whitehorses but it's not cheap at about £35 a head for three courses. There are fields with cows, sheep and horses all around. Many lighthouses, pubs, restaurants, castles to visit. Everyone, especially outside of the towns, waves to you as you drive past. Everything is very friendly here. The scenery is beautiful. The cottage is great. As long as you have transport you will enjoy a great family holiday here. Prices for food is about 10% more expensive than in SE England, but fuel is about 30% cheaper, so fill up as soon as you get to Ireland and just before you leave! Enjoy. And the strawberries sold at the side of the road from the little sheds were delicious too!"
