Claim this listingStaying in Ardmore
One of Ireland’s oldest Christian settlements, a small Waterford coastal village wrapped around a round tower, a ruined cathedral and a Blue Flag beach.
Ardmore is a small seaside village on the Waterford coast, close to the Cork border, built around a headland where St Declan is said to have founded a monastery in the 5th century, before St Patrick’s arrival in Ireland. That monastic site still stands above the village: a 12th-century round tower, one of the best preserved in Ireland at almost 30 metres tall, alongside the ruins of a medieval cathedral holding ogham stones.
For a B&B in Ardmore, the appeal is how much sits within walking distance. The monastic site is a short climb from the village, the beach is a Blue Flag strand right in the centre, and the well-known cliff walk sets off from the same spot, taking in Ardmore Head, Ram Head and St Declan’s holy well along the way.
The cliff walk also passes more recent history: a Napoleonic-era lookout post, the site of an early coastguard station, and the wreck of the Samson, a floating crane that ran aground in 1987 and is still visible from the path.
Things to do near Newtown Farm Country House
Ardmore Round Tower
Built in the 12th century and rising almost 30 metres, this is one of Ireland’s best-preserved round towers, standing beside the ruins of a medieval cathedral with two inscribed ogham stones.
St Declan’s monastery
Tradition holds that St Declan founded a monastery at Ardmore in the 5th century, preaching in Munster before St Patrick’s arrival, making this one of the oldest Christian sites in the country.
The Cliff Walk
A loop walk from the village taking in Ardmore Head and Ram Head, passing St Declan’s Well, a Napoleonic-era lookout post and the site of a former coastguard station.
Ardmore beach
A Blue Flag beach right in the village, an easy stretch of sand for a swim before or after the cliff walk.
The Samson wreck
Visible from the cliff walk, the wreck of the Samson, a floating crane that ran aground in 1987, is one of the more unusual landmarks along the path.
Getting to Ardmore
Ardmore is just off the N25 between Youghal, a short drive west, and Dungarvan and Waterford city to the east. Cork Airport is roughly an hour away, and Bus Éireann’s coastal services connect Ardmore to Youghal and Dungarvan.
Booking Newtown Farm Country House direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Newtown Farm Country House holds a 4-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
