I have stayed in this caravan park and i must say it is a spotless site and best of all it is away…read morefrom the hussel and bussel of tramore. The owner was very nice and helpful and the views were great from the site. There is a play ground on site and the toilets and showers were very clean. There is a shop on site so you don't have to go anywere if you run short of milk. My wife loved it and always says she would like to go back so i think before the summer is over we will give it another bash so i might see you there

Tramore's hidden heart. Worth a visit at any time of year. It's a long walkway through a small…read morehidden park along the cliff-face. Access through a small doorway halfway up Church Road, walk through the park, past the cannons of long sunken ships, the sea-cliff cottages, the tennis courts, and exit by the desolately haunted barracks into Love Lane. It's my favourite walk in Tramore - the whole beach and bay sweep before you. On a windy winter's day you have the best view of the sea-horses and surf stretching all the way to the open sea 3 miles away.

I have used this station a few times. It's small but it serves its purpose quite well. The shop is…read morefairly sleepy as it is not overly busy with a handful of trains to and from Dublin each day. The outside appearance is fine while the interior is decently kept. The waiting area is small but adequate and the same could be said for the train platforms. There is a small shop where one can buy a few food, drink and reading items. The normal washroom and phone facilities are available. The staff for Irish Rail are efficient enough and it is easy to buy tickets (though you can often get better pricing buying in advance on-line). The location for the station across the river from the main part of the town is actually reasonably convenient. Waterford proper is accessible on foot unless you are loaded down with a bunch of luggage. I usually stay at the Granville which is only a six- or eight-minute walk across the bridge on the Quay.

Fantastic park! gone many times with my family and every year the kids love it! from the previous…read morereviews by elddis and dollyd, its clear you didn't enjoy your stay but not once were our expectations too high of the park. I know from previous stays that you CANNOT book this park in advance during high season or on bank holidays (the busy times), so elddis you clearly booked the wrong date or the wrong park as the staff will NOT take any bookings during this time (I know, I've chanced my arm a few times ;) ). And to dollyd, the only time you will have altercations with the owner or security guard is when you cause trouble yourself and disturb other campers. I can not speak more highly of this park, the owners and the staff.

Booked this site for our holidays one year. There was 3 families 2 from Belfast and us from Dublin…read more We all arrived on the site at 8.30 in the morning. The 2 couples from Belfast were on the road for eight hours at this stage and the we were told we did not book it because he didn't take bookings over the phone and he had no place for us. He tried to put one of us between two mobile homes and that is when we decided to go else were because he said its there or no were he was not polite about the situation at all. The thing i find about these sites that are full during high season they don't care about you because there is always someone else to take your place. I will not be going back anytime soon

I'm a student and stuck here for 48 hours because they charged my cc as soon as I arrived ... you have a management controlled air conditioning and heating system- there's no way to cool:heat anything - the hotel solution-they delivered a fan and literally... a bucket of ICE water! Then trying to order from the restaurant I found a notice that said something about NOT DRINKING THE WATER and to either call or literally PAY for bottled water! You call, you will get a bucket of water with ice. Don't bother asking because I spoke with the owner after walking 1/4 a mile to buy bottled water ... doesn't really know why we can't drink the water-- or what's in it ---apparently that's just what people say in Ireland...seriously! I asked why and when they tested it and the OWNER said he did not know! I'm a Chef AND a doctor and this makes absolutely NO sense! Keep away from the hotel and drinking anything here!! Anyone who claims to own a hotel- and doesn't know everything about his own hotel history and potential water contamination should NOT be allowed to own a hotel! The county health department should take notice that there is NO notice anywhere except In an old folder, he joked about in our conversation, that I thought was for room service that says they strongly recommend NOT drinking the water! This should be on the advisory for the hotel upon booking a reservation-period! I am appalled that I had to walk to get water because anything bottled was for SALE - NOT for the guests! I was explicitly told this more than once. Stay away! This is NOT safe nor acceptable! I will post a follow up upon my departure! So many other issues- but these are the most serious that pose serious health implications ....

A couple of miles outside Tramore is Kilfarrasy Beach. Wonderfully isolated in winter, and never…read moretoo packed in summer. It's a lovely sandy beach for about a mile before curving around a headland into a rock-climbing paradise. It has everything you want from a beach - high cliffs to shelter you from the wind, a small stream, sand for castles, high rocks for climbing, caves for exploring. It also banks steeply, so you don't have to wade for hours before getting down for your dip. It can sometimes tend to have flies in summer, which isn't great. You'll also need to keep an eye out for the tide coming in...it's very quick, and punters with trousers wet up to their knees or even mid-thigh is a pretty common sight.

Youghal, or Eochaill, (pronounced: YAWL), is a small seaside resort/port at the mouth of the river…read moreBlackwater, about 76km east of Cork City. With a mile or so, (at low tide), of lovely sandy beaches. Being built on the edge of a steep riverbank, the town is quite sprawly, but essentially is a narrow cencentration of shops along a main street, with another running parallel along the quayside. It's slightly run down, as are all seaside resorts out of season, (which I always think is the best time to visit), not much evidence now of Youghal being one of Ireland's main ports, as it apparently was about 300 years ago, or of there being any industry here other than tourism & much evidence of holiday homes. Many tourists have come here since the 1954 filming of John Huston's Moby Dick, starring Gregory Peck, and on the other side of the square from the tourist office is Moby Dick's, a pub of which I have done a separate review of, as well detailing more specifics about that Youghal's role in the making of that movie. The tourist information/visitors centre which is a small low story affair, (the building if not the centre, was certainly here when that movie was made), has had a very modern refurbishment in more recent times, & has a welcoming non-institutional look to it, always a plus for me with these kind of places. It's very easy to find easy to find, and is a natural place to interpret the town from. I'm not sure about the tourist offices extravagant claims about this being the centre of the 'Irish Riviera', but you can't deny the impressive situation of the town, and the amazing beaches. Definitely a nice holiday sun-trap in the warmer months I would have thought. There's a small very impressive free admission heritage museum inside which is very imaginatively laid out & absorbing about the history of this historic once walled seaport. You can find out all about the town's most striking feature 'The Clock Gate', which was built on the site of Trinity Castle, part of the town's fortifications, and once served the town as gaol and public gallows. The lady on duty was very helpful & friendly. I wanted to know what the dramatic far off point with a lighthouse was called. She told me it was Ballycotton Lighthouse off Knockadoon Head. Apparently Youghal is where Ireland finally bid goodbye forever to Oliver Cromwell after years of systematic repression, (it was not long before his death). Perhaps no better reason for a holiday!
