We liked the location just outside Aglish and the convenience for Dungarvan, Youghal, Clonmel and Cobh. The cottage was warm despite the challenging spring weather. We much appreciated the home-meade bread from the owners as a welcome. We were late arriving due to poor driving conditions but the owners waited for us wothout complaint. All round a 100% positive experience.
