Beautifully Restored Coach House In Woodlands Overlooking the Suir Estuary

The Coach House which is situated in Woodstown, is on the beautiful Suir river estuary in Co. Waterford, Ireland. It is located in 4 acres of quiet woodlands just five minutes walk from Woodstown and Forenaught beaches and only ten minutes drive from the picturesque fishing village of Dunmore East. Whether you want a hideaway for a quiet week or two, to write or paint or walk or do nothing, or if you wish to base yourself in a centrally located coastal area ideally positioned for local touring, this is the place for you.
The restoration and refurbishment of the Coach House at Mount Alto was completed in 2008 to a very high quality standard of finish which is maintained by continuous improvement. The unit is heated by oil-fired under floor heating. Water heating is by central heating and electric immersion heater. An external enclosed private patio is accessible from the lower living area. Broadband internet (Wi-Fi) is provided free for normal internet usage. The accommodation is a smoke free zone. Also we regret that we are unable to cater for pets.
There is a 7 night minimum for bookings during high season, ie. June to September. For the reminder of the year, a 3 night minimum booking applies.

Perfect. Although we'd driven all that way to Woodstown (from Derby in England) , we really wanted to stay in the Coach House rather than travel around! Brendan & Jean were perfect hosts - their property really is something to be experienced.

A great place

It’s a wonderful place for a couple or a family with a kid. Comfortable, clean, well taken care of. A nice welcome package (wine, brown bread, breakfast supplies). The road to the driveway is quite narrow, but take it slow and no problem. The amenities are just as described. We would definitely stay again.

Heaven on Earth

Brendan and Jean were very thoughtful hosts. They even made us brown bread which lasted the week. The privacy of the location, and proximity to Woodside Beach was an added bonus with so many good walks available to us. We had every amenity one could imagine. We would love to return annually.

Beautiful, Peaceful Setting; Well- Equipped, Comfortable Cottage

We chose this property as a home base to explore Waterford and Wexford Counties. We like being out in the countryside away from the bustle of bigger towns. So glad we found this place. First of all, the hosts are terrific, having stocked the kitchen with some basics (including homemade bread!) until we could get to the grocery store. The home (very clean and comfortable) is well equipped with cookware, dinnerware and everything else you might need to prepare a meal at home. You can tell the hosts take good care with this property. There is a private walled courtyard in the back which we enjoyed in the evenings in lounge chairs after a day of exploring, and there is also an outdoor dining table if weather permits. It took us a time (or two) to get used to the narrow road up from Woodstown beach that leads to the property, but that added to the charm! Short drive to the town of Waterford, and many seaside towns. We enjoyed our stay here, and would stay here again if in the area.

We felt at home straight away...cleanliness and comfort were better than other stays in the area we have stayed in before. We would definitely go back and stay in the future.

Comfortable home away from home

We were very pleased with our stay at the Coach House. When we arrived it was perfectly set up and ready for us to make it home. They provided all the basic essentials along with some fresh baked bread, a bottle of wine, and chocolate laid out for us to enjoy. The views were amazing, and it’s only about a 10 min drive to Dunmore East and about 20 min to Waterford. We were very blessed to stay at the Coach House!

Relaxing and Peaceful

We loved our time at the Coach House. Brendan and Jean’s generous hospitality was greatly appreciated - food staples, home made bread and welcome gift of wine and chocolates. We loved the walks to local beaches and the beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers. We enjoyed morning coffee listening to the birds in the courtyard. Thanks for sharing your relaxing and peaceful place with us and we would love to return.

Beautiful historical seclusion

This beautiful property sits on a old farm homestead. Just like the phoenix it has risen from ruins to present day thanks to the present day owners. It’s a perfect hideaway from the everyday stress of city day life. It offers you privacy not to far from the comforts of city life. If you like strolling on the beach this place is for you. Do you like privacy? This place is for you. Do you like to bird watch/listen? This place is for you. The hosts are charming and welcoming. We appreciated every detail and all the welcoming gifts. The homemade bread was delicious. Our hosts were gracious. Love, love the experience and stay. Doris and Brian

Great privacy in the woods near beach

The Coach House is a grand size for a couple. The small kitchen is fine for one person to cook. We often took meals in the back courtyard as well as the dining area. The restored coach house was very comfortable and the stone edifice allowed for privacy and character. The quiet roads and hard packed beach allowed for walks and runs. The grounds, views, and the beach are beautiful. The hosts are incredibly responsive, available and wonderful people.
