Notre deuxième séjour en Irlande, au cours des vacances de pâques, le "Coach House" est bien adapté pour une famille nombreuse, nous étions 5 à l'époque.
Nous retournons cet été au même endroit, nous avons pris l'habitude de monter en Irlande tous les deux ans, et un séjour d'une semaine chez les Devane est incontournable, l'accueil y est très chaleureux et familial.
Leurs gîtes ou cottages sont implantés au hameau de Fruithill, dans leur propriété, vaste et arborée, sorte de grand parc où les enfants peuvent aller et venir à leur guise, c'est un endroit très agréable et très reposant.
Fruithill se situe à quelques kilomètres de Campile, un gros village où l'on peut trouver à peu près tout (épiceries ouvertes tard le soir, carburant, pubs, etc...).
Campile se trouve dans le comté de Wexford, à moins d'une heure de Rosslare et de Wexford, à une petite demi heure de Waterford, et à un quart d'heure de New ross.
La très jolie ville de Kilkenny se rejoint en une heure environ.
Pour arriver à Rosslare depuis la France, le bateau depuis la Bretagne, direct, ou alors le bateau depuis le royaume uni, au départ de Pembroke. Nous suivons cette route, nous habitons sur la Côte d'Opale dans le Nord de la France, nous rejoignons l'Angleterre depuis Calais, pour Douvres, puis 6 heures de route jusque Pembroke et enfin une petite croisière de 4 heures vers Rosslare, après une journée de route, s'installer à Fruithill pour démarrer ses vacances en Irlande est vraiment judicieux.
Nous y passons généralement notre première semaine dans la région ensoleillée du Sud Est, avant de poursuivre nos vacances dans le Kerry, ou dans le Connemara.
Bref, les locations de Fruithill sont vraiment à découvrir.
Bon séjour à vous en Irlande.

Hi Susan and Dick,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we appreciated your hospitality and sharing the scenic vistas around your home. I have attached pen and ink drawings that I made of your greenhouse and of the back view from the rental house. I have so many photos that I want to paint. We so enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and history of the lovely rental house. It seemed to welcome us with fresh apples falling daily, blackberries down the lane and the comforts of home. Not a day goes by when my husband and I don’t reminisce about our first trip to Ireland, the beauty of the country and the warmth of its people. You went above and beyond when you invited us into your own home for coffee and delicious scones! We will never forget your kindness.
Sincerely,
Ron & Gail Cunningham
