Stunning
Beautiful area of Wexford, easy to take passage east ferry to county Waterford where Dunmore East has terrific beaches and views.
The Strand at Duncannon was great for evening meal but need to book as it gets busy.The other pub is also very good but doesn't take bookings so go early .
The village of Duncannon is breathtaking on a sunny day with a beach a mile long,
First time to Ireland, but it won't be the last.

I booked a great house for my holiday in Ireland with Shamrock Cottages. When making the booking the staff were friendly and very helpful at all times, including with booking the ferry. Westport was a great place to spend St. Patrick’s Day with its bars and restaurants, and is a good base for exploring this area of Ireland.

Several times booket - several times satisfaction
I've booked through Shamrock Cottages several times before, and the houses have always been excellent. The price, quality, and service were all great.
This time there was a minor booking issue, but it was resolved quickly and to our complete satisfaction. I will definitely visit Shamrock Cottages again when booking my next trip to Ireland.

Shamrock cottages. Easy. No issues , dramas or disappointments.
Great choice of cottages. Good site , plenty of details and photos. Easy to navigate and book. Received regular updates with tips etc for booking in. Put in contact with owners , used email options , closer to arrival time. All angles seem to be covered. Didn't need to contact company, as all was very accurate and acceptable. Was contacted prior to arrival by owners son who gave arrival instructions. Arrived. Met owner. Was taken to property. Shown around and advised of a few quirks of the property. All good. Everything important was clearly labelled. Followed instructions , no dramas. Property location was superb. So quiet. Contacted prior to leaving about departure. All good. No dramas. If any issues owner , son or other contacts present. So never going to be any dramas. WiFi great. House has extensions , no drop in signal. All mod cons present. Enjoyed stay. Would be back.

Avondale House Achill island
The property is not well maintained and was filthy. Also an elderly lady let herself in to the property while we were on the walk. Thankfully two people from our party stayed behind so none of our personal belongings went missing. Furthermore the owner accused us of damage we did not do.
However Achill island is truly beautiful and is well worth visiting.
