Glenribbeen Self Catering Apartment

Our Apartment. - (text taken from Georgina Campbell's web-site)

The Self-Catering Apartment has been built as eco-friendly as possible and to the best standards of access-4-all is set in the heart of County Waterford. The apartment sleeps 5 adults; also has a futon that opens to a double bed in main lounge. There are 2 bedrooms / 1. twin beds and 2. a double. The double bed-room has a single bed in an annex (with wash-hand-basin) and these also opens to the rear garden. The apartment has a dishwasher as well as clotheswasher.  Apartment accommodation has satellite TV, DVD, CD & radio/cassette player as well as playing cards, ring-board and dart-board.

Dogs are welcome but please be aware the hens take the concept of ‘free-range’ very seriously.

The car park opens directly onto the entrance to the accommodation. The rear door of the apartment opens to the North garden via a glass-covered veranda (with gas-BBQ).

Els and Peter O’Connor’s very special B&B near has recently been awarded the prestigious EU Green Flower Award for Eco-Accommodation – the first in this part of Ireland to achieve the commendation, and one of only 125 in Europe, it speaks volumes for this hospitable couple’s commitment to the environment.

And you’d know it anyway, as soon as you arrive and see the sign warning guests to be careful and watch out for red squirrels but, for those who wonder if the whole thing might be a bit too hippy for them, be reassured that it’s a perfectly normal, comfortable house with everything that ordinary people need when breaking a journey or – more likely - want a relaxingly low-key holiday here fishing for salmon or brown trout on the River Blackwater, or walking/cycling.

It’s a great area for walkers of all levels of ability and experience, and Peter and Els provide guests with maps and directions and then send them on their way - some walks begin right at the front gate. Some last 10mins....... some go on a lifetime.

Garden games - Archery, boules, horse-shoes, skittles, throw-ball, rings/darts and more. The accommodation also has wet-weather gear, life-preservers, fishing-tackle and musical instruments.
