Great base
Edel's house was a great base for our family regrouping as parents and young adult children. It is a spacious and well-equipped home, and within day-tripping distance of many great places to visit. We were unfortunate with weather, so enjoyed beach walks rather than sunbathing and swimming, but the beaches are close by, quiet, and beautiful.

Truly Amazing Property
Where do I start...every part of this wonderful home was perfection. Yes, I said home as this is the feeling you have. It is beautiful and the photos are just, but cannot capture the perfection. The kitchen is a gourmet cooks kitchen. Our host missed nothing, more than you needed or expected. The home is so spectacular, we didn't want to leave it. As a world traveler, I can say that the experience is not to be missed. I will be back!

An Irish Dream - simply amazing!
Where to start? This beautifully designed and decorated home in a perfectly serene and naturally gorgeous location immediately makes you want to sell your current home and move here. Edel is a wonderful person - she greeted us with freshly baked scones and was kind enough to consider some kitchen basics for the weary travelers. Should you have any questions she is immediately available to help. Her spacious, comfortable, and bright home is so much nicer than any pictures could possibly suggest. We absolutely loved the peaceful privacy, walks down the ‘country’ lane, trips to local towns, and basically being far from any bothers. The very best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in anywhere in the world. Obviously cannot wait to return!

Ruhig und idyllisch
Sehr sauberes, geräumiges und modern ausgestattetes Ferienhaus. Große Küche, 2 Wohnzimmer, großzügiger Essbereich. Sehr gepflegtes Grundstück mit Sitz-und Liegemöglichkeiten im Garten. Ruhige Lage, abseits der Hauptstraßen, daher ist ein Fahrzeug unbedingt notwendig. Ideal, um den Südosten zu erkunden, Waterford, Wexford oder auch Kilkenny sind als Tagesausflüge empfehlenswert, dazwischen gibt es jede Menge Möglichkeiten für Wanderungen oder Strandspaziergänge (mit dem Auto ca. 5 Minuten, zu Fuß eine halbe Stunde). Netter Kontakt zur Gastgeberin, inklusive Rückfrage, ob alles zu unserer Zufriedenheit wäre. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Wonderful stay at the Grove.
We had a wonderful stay at the ‘Grove’ near old bawn beach and Cahore. Edel was friendly and accommodating, she explained everything to do with the property and local points of interests. There was an extensive list of local restaurants, pubs and other entertainment options as well as emergency contacts etc.. provided. There was nothing the property didn’t have, including kids toys, beach wear and a fully stacked kitchen. The house itself is striking and beautifully decorated throughout, 4 big double bedrooms including 2 en-suites and a family bathroom with Jacuzzi bath! Our party of 8 including 2 toddlers didn’t feel cramped at all, the garden is huge and great for summer bbq’s! The location is self is extremely private, yet 2 minutes from a beautiful white sand beach at old bawn which is never too busy! 5 minutes from Cahore point and 10minutes to morris castle and kilmuckridge, it’s really well situated to enjoy the best beaches in Ireland! It really is a hidden gem and is fantastic value to anybody who wants to spend any time exploring the best the area has to offer. Thanks again to Edel for such great accommodation, we’ll be staying again for sure!

A very Irish holiday
This is our second stay in the Grove . The weather was good for June which meant we got to the beach and into the water . We had a couple of duller days when we visited Wexford town, a pet zoo and play park outside Gorey and a lovely farm shop in Courtown for lunch . In the evenings we either BBQ in the beautiful gardens of the Grove or dinned in the Strand the local hotel at Cahore point which is only a few minutes away by car . All in all we had a lovely, relaxed holiday . I highly recommend the Grove and we will return .

Booked this property for my partner and family to recuperate after surgery. The Grove was perfect , big enough so we didn’t feel on top of each other but with great social areas where we could eat together and have family time .The accommodation is of an exceptionally high standard with a lovely well equipped kitchen. The grounds and outside dining/sitting areas are also spacious and very well maintained. The house is a short drive from a beautiful beach and just a few minutes from Cahore point .
