Cottage

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The house was large and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and having access to laundry was very helpful. The 2 electric fireplaces added warmth on a few rainy, damp days. We enjoyed the board games with our children. The WiFi worked well when we needed to be connected. One area that could use improvement is the shower. The water pressure was not great, the drain was not working well (even a quick rinse resulted in standing in dirty water) and the shower could use a bit of updating.

Wonderful relaxing stay

This house is located on a quiet country side. The surrounding and the house is peaceful and relaxing. The beds are comfortable. We all had our best sleep there. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. We go to the grocery stores at nearby towns and cooked dinners at the house. The house location is convenient to access the local beaches with drive. We also visited Lismore castle; Tramore beach, Cobh, Cork, and Kinsale while stay at this house. The drive along the coast line toward the Tramore beach (Newton Cove) was breathtaking. The hosts, Katy and Todd, were responsive and friendly. If we came back to visit the county Waterford, we would love to stay at this house again.

About the host

Hosted by Todd Salzman

Host profile image
Todd and Katy are both teachers in the United States. They have spent many summers in An Sean Phobal (Old Parish) with Katy's parents who bought Ballintlea Cottage for a holiday and retirement home over 30 years ago. They now hope to share this beautiful and culturally rich part of Ireland with others.

Why they chose this property

Guests at Ballintlea Cottage can enjoy the best of the "Sunny Southeast" by getting to know friendly people in the Gaeltacht area, and discovering all the natural beauty, cultural events, historic sites and recreational activities this region has to offer. The lively town of Dungarvan and the the historic beach communities of Ardmore, Ring, and Youghal are just short drives away. In addition to cozy pubs, local boutiques, delicious dining, and live music, outdoor lovers can explore the scenic Waterford Greenway by bike or foot, take a refreshing swim, enjoy a few rounds of golf, or hike the Cameragh mountains. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape or an active getaway, this location is the perfect base for exploring Ireland’s breathtaking southern coast.

What makes this property unique

This home - newly renovated in Spring 2025 - strikes the perfect balance between a quiet escape and an active getaway. It is situated in a lovely, rural and peaceful area in the heart of one of Ireland's Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) communities. This area is known for its rich cultural traditions including traditional Irish music, theater, dance and storytelling. Situated so close to the coast, there are countless outdoor activities, including ocean fishing, golf, hiking, swimming, biking, and sightseeing. Neighboring towns afford a wide range of excellent dining options, live entertainment venues and plenty of shopping. Local artisans and craftsmen offer some of the finest crystal, pottery and art in the region.
