Rated 9.4 by GoIreland customers

Welcome to Cairbre House, a delightful Georgian accommodation located close to the busy market town of Dungarvan in County Waterford. The home was built in 1819 by the Duke of Devonshire and is a jewel in the crown of the sunny south east. The property is just less than 1km from Dungarvan Harbour. The Comeragh Mountains as the backdrop and the Colligan River Estuary to the foreground certainly is the icing on the cake of this magnificent property.

The hospitality shown by Brian Wickham was second to none. Our stay was made complete by the spectacular views whilst sat on the balconey overlooking the river.A breakfast was served fit for royalty! A wonderful experience. The location of Cairbre House was a short walk to the facilities offered by Dungarvan town.Merry's public house is well worth a visit.
