Beautifully situated tranquil cottage in the Comeragh Mountains. Sleeps 2/4

Bleantis Mountain Cottage is located on a small bohereen (or lane) which leads directly onto Bleantasour Mountain (part of the Monavullagh range) just 1 km away. On Bleantasour mountain are panoramic views of the Knockmealdown mountains to the west, the Galtee mountains to the north, and the Comeragh mountains to the east. From here you can either roam across the Monavullagh mountains themselves or trek across the 'tops' to the famous Nire Valley or onto the craggy Comeragh mountain range.

This particular area of County Waterford is called the Deise (or Decies, but both are pronounced Day-shur). Its inhabitants are particularly warm, generous, tolerant and laid back and the local harbour town of Dungarvan has a very relaxed and happy atmosphere where complete strangers will greet you on the street. Additionally, the Ring peninsula on Dungarvan bay is one of the 6 Gaeltacht locations in Ireland, where Irish is spoken as the first language. So it is quite common to hear Irish being spoken in and around Dungarvan

So all in all we reckon that you've stumbled on one of the best kept secrets of Ireland - the Deise, with its stunning coastline and beaches (and we haven't even mentioned them yet!), mountains, rivers, valleys, loughs, music and song. The only thing it lacks is hordes of visitors - because they don't know it's here!

We hope that you will come and stay in our little cottage and that the Deise fulfils all your expectations.
