Photos and Description of this County Waterford holiday cottage
West Waterford/Cork -- Blackwater River Frontage -- Double Cottage

Marston Cottage is a charming, beautifully renovated two bedroom cottage -- with a separate one bedroom cottage beside -- with beautiful gardens set directly on the Blackwater River, The Blackwater is the most beautiful and salmon rich river in Ireland, and also full of lush golf courses, equestrian centers, and wonderful walks. Martson Cottage is a haven of tranquility and privacy, yet without isolation -- the Dublin/Cork motorway is but ten miles away, and the famous historic town of Lismore, with fine restaurants, is within five miles. The Blackwater Lodge with tackle shop, is 60 seconds away, and the charming, unspoilt and welcoming village of Balllyduff is within one mile. Marston Cottage is a perfect base for touring the south of Ireland, but is filled with the peace of the Blackwater River, an acre of lovely gardens, and delightful views to the Knockmealdown Mountains. The owner is a writer and author of Lonely Planet's celebrated travel memoir Jaywalking with the Irish.

Pristine country setting

Review Submitted: November 19, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
Marston Cottage was our home for the month of July. The grounds are beautiful, the home spacious,and the hiking, especially the 3/4 mile to the enchanting village of Ballyduff, was most memorable. We had house guests come to stay and the guest house, with spacious accomodation, made everyone comfortable. An ample kitchen, dining room and backyard made barbecuing a joy. Many fine country restaurants are within 20 minute drives.

The area is filled with breath taking scenery and convenient to Cork, Lismore and a few inspiring mountain ranges. The swift running Blackwater river is right there by the property and we watched the anglers casting for salmon. We picked strawberries and rhubarb from the owner's garden. We certainly felt at home and the owner was gracious and available to answer any questions about the area and things to do.

River Cottage

Review Submitted: November 20, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The area was quite and very peaceful, the property was as described, and we had a great 2 weeks, Lismore is 7 miles and has some nice pubs and restaurants. The owners checked that everything was OK once a week, and the gardens and river were
in excellent condition, you would need a car unless you like walking long distances, the local village is 2 miles, it has a local store and around 3 pubs. Good location for exploring Waterford/Cork and South Tipperary.

Owner's Response: A nice review from fine guests, but there is one mistake -- the village of Ballyduff is less than one mile away, a lovely walk beside the river or easy ride on one of our bicycles! The property is 10 miles from the major Cork-Dublin motorway, so lots of places are easily accessible.
