Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.

Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

A hidden gem!

A hidden gem! Nestled in the leafy village is this great accommodation. Surrounded by beautiful trees and a meandering river it is picture perfect Ireland. We stayed for two nights. Beautiful stone houses and great spacious bedrooms. Situations 20 mins from Wexford and 15 mins from new Ross. The location is an old Mill and it was heart the of the town years ago and still holds that strength of place today. The cottages are a testimony to that strength and resolve of older times. It is like stepping back in time. Catherine is a great host and supports you as much or little as you need. Perfectly placed to discover alternative parts of Wexford. The area in and around is surrounded by 1798 rebellion history. Great place for kids and adults alike. Will bring golf clubs and bikes the next time. Thanks for a great stay. Philip

Excellent cottages. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely fantastic family reunion at Mill Farm Cottages for two nights while attending a wedding at Horetown House. From the moment I began planning our stay Catherine could not have been helpful with information about the houses, location and general queries. She was so communicative and it made my job a lot easier when organising for 16 adults. We rented the three cottages. They were gorgeous, spacious, incredibly clean, stunning setting (on a river at the mill in Foulksmill) and very comfortable. The space is great for families. I would love to go back with my friends and all our kids. They have a great garden for kids, the recreation room with table tennis table, outdoor kids toys, a play house and two gorgeous bunny rabbits. A new cafe has opened up the road and that was really nice to walk to so no one had to make breakfast! I couldn’t praise this accommodation, and it’s management, higher. Highly recommend it. Can’t wait to go back!

Great spot

We really enjoyed our stay at Mill Farm. We were very fortunate with the weather which allowed us to enjoy the local village and park for walks. Our hosts Austin and Catherine were more than helpful from leaving us firewood for the evenings to giving us information re places to see and where to eat out. Our husbands really enjoyed the tour of the old mill. Highly recommend this spotless cottage which had everything er needed. Thanks

Emplacement et cottage magnifiques

L'emplacement est tellement agréable et paisible. Le cottage est magnifique et il ne manque rien. C'est idéal pour une famille avec enfants car tout est prévu pour s'amuser, se reposer et profiter de la nature. De plus, Catherine et Austin sont des gens merveilleux, très accueillants et tellement serviable. On peut également apprécier les animaux mais par manque de temps nous n'avons pas pu en profiter. Quel dommage. Je recommande vivement cette propriété et nul doute que nous reviendrons avec autant de plaisir.

Thank you too for the recommendation, it would be our privilege and delight to have you all return. Best wishes - Catherine & Austin

Getting around

Located in a quiet, rural part of south east Ireland - the village of Foulksmills (or Foulkesmill as it is sometimes spelt) was recently described as a 'hidden gem' with its tranquil setting. A beautiful area to walk around, however a car is needed to get to some of the top tourist spots e.g. Hook Lighthouse and of course Loftus Hall - Ireland's best known 'Haunted House' - tours available from April to September daily. Cyclists can easily head to Kilmore Quay for a wonderful day at this seaside fishing village - taking the 'Norman Route'. Also the greenway from Waterford is now open & the option to cycle from Waterford to Dungarvan town is a must for active holidaymakers.
