This is one the best locations I have stayed in. We were on a Mammy/Daughter get away. 2 best friend Mammys with 4 best friend daughters. All we wanted was to be away and we got so much more. The place was absolutely spotless, warm and very comfortable. We spent hours in the hot tub and the plunge pool and when the night got cold, we came in to the most warm and welcoming house. Michelle had left out so much of the basic foods for us which was very kind and then on top of that left a bottle of wine for me and my friend. Exceptionally nice thought and very much appreciated. I couldn't recommend this place higher. In since coming home I have told everyone about it. Thank you for being such amazing hosts.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dara’s loft. The location was great and we were able to walk everywhere. The beach was only across the road. The loft was cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean with a great view of the water from the living space.

Your guide to Dungarvan

All About Dungarvan

Located on the southeastern coast of Ireland in County Wexford, Dungarvan is a picturesque seaside town in what the Irish refer to as the “sunny southeast.” This charming harbor town sits at the mouth of the River Colligan and Dungarvan Bay, and is perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding area via the Waterford Greenway. A small bridge across the river connects Dungarvan with the village of Abbeyside, named for a 13th-century abbey, whose ruins are still largely intact. There is much to explore in Dungarvan and Abbeyside, including beachside boardwalks, public gardens, and the 12th-century Dungarvan Castle, whose grounds are perfect for wandering.

The wide, pedestrian-friendly village streets are lined with colorful homes and storefronts housing shops, galleries, and pubs. The nearby Colligan Wood, a lovely wooded area along the Colligan River, is a popular picnicking spot. Dungarvan has a long history as a home to sailors and fishermen, and still offers boating and deep-sea fishing trips. You can also explore the calm harbor and river by kayak or stand-up paddleboard.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Dungarvan

Late June to early September is the best time to visit Dungarvan for outdoor activities, as temperatures are pleasant and mild. Ireland’s only opera festival, Blackwater Valley Opera Festival, takes place in June in the grounds of historic Lismore Castle. Fall brings cooler weather, but this is a great time to take advantage of the hiking and biking trails around town. The Waterford Harvest Festival is held every September and is an excellent way to sample creations from the area’s best eateries, bars, and breweries. Winter in Dungarvan can be cold and wet, so bundle up before enjoying a walk followed by lunch in a cozy local pub.

Top things to do in Dungarvan

The two gardens are situated within the castle walls and offer spectacular views of the Gothic-style fortress and surrounding countryside. You’ll find beds of flowers, fruits, and vegetables punctuated by ornamental borders and sculptures. Lismore Castle Arts is a gallery space that offers rotating exhibitions by famous contemporary artists.

Waterford County Museum

Located in the old town market hall in Dungarvan, Waterford County Museum offers insight into the history, archeology, and people of the area, with permanent and temporary exhibitions of local and international artists. If it’s a rainy day, step inside the museum and learn more about the town’s sports, castles, and maritime history.

Waterford Greenway

This 28-mile greenway was built along a disused railway track and boasts fantastic off-road biking and walking. Starting at Dungarvan and running to Waterford City, the route passes over stone bridges and through quaint villages. The greenway also travels through the historic Ballyvoyle (Durrow) Tunnel, built in 1878.
