From our Irish holiday cottage there are panoramic views of the Atlantic, the Hook Lighthouse and the entrance to Waterford Harbour. The cottage was built in 1955 and has recently been modernised and improved. It has oil-fired central heating. It is a warm, comfortable well-appointed house.

The cottage is situated within the grounds of a Martello Tower. There are lockable gates at the end of the avenue making the cottage secluded. The gardens surrounding the cottage are presently laid as lawns and are fully enclosed by 200 year old stone walls, making them safe for children. The site is surrounded by farmland. The sunsets and the moonlight on the water can be spectacular. With binoculars you can see the detail of passing ships and boats. Pilots can often be seen boarding the ships from their small boats in order to guide them to Waterford and New Ross. On a clear day the Comeragh Mountains in Co Waterford can be seen in the distance.
