From access to Michelin star chefs and a complete immersion in the region’s rich culture, this exclusive-use rental property in Ardmore provides a stay like no other.

Located where the road runs out, this new exclusive-use rental property in Ardmore, Waterford will plunge you into the rich literature, art, music and culinary traditions while providing a beachside food-focussed staycation of a lifetime.

Offering some of the most exclusive accommodation in Ireland, Cliff Beach House is a luxury residence that is best described as a modern, architect-designed home located above Ardmore Bay in the country’s southeast, with views of the rolling Atlantic from every room.

The owners can claim years of experience as leading hoteliers in Ireland, with the iconic Cliff House Hotel — just a two-minute walk away — and Cliff at Lyons in Co Kildare under their belt already, along with its two Michelin-starred restaurants. That same award-winning service can be expected at the Admore property…

Upstairs, the dining room boasts high-pitched ceilings, with two living rooms opening up through floor-to-ceiling glass to a long stone patio. There is space to come together, as well as plenty of room to relax when you need your peace and quiet.

You can graze solo at the breakfast counter or enjoy a celebratory dinner in front of the fireplace at the long oak dining table. There is a striking sitting room with a baby grand piano, and a smaller family snug for curling up in front of the TV. There is also a large cinema room with games for all.

On the lower level, there are six ensuite bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that slide open, allowing you to step out from your bedroom so that you can smell, hear and breathe the essence of the Atlantic coastline.

The ocean-green resin floors, spring peppermints, white walls, dark woods and slates belong to a uniquely contemporary vision of Irish style and peerless luxury. You can also enjoy a small gymnasium, beautiful steam room and large heated hot tub just a few steps away.

Headboards are buttoned velvets. Sheets are the finest cotton. Every texture has been thought through, and every comfort, from underfloor heating to the specially commissioned bedside lighting.

There is also a formal lounge area with a baby grand piano, a kitchen and chef’s pantry, a personal gym with a steam shower and outdoor hot tub, a home cinema, and parking for up to six cars.

Food is the beating heart of this corner of Ireland with its long history of farming and fishing. At Cliff Beach House, you can dial up (or down) the level of service required. Multi-award-winning chefs for a seafood feast can be organised for a summer barbecue, a tasting menu, or a kid-friendly TV supper.

When it comes to adventure, coastal Ireland is quite literally on your doorstep. To make the most of this precious corner of coastal Ireland, the team can book you in for cultural experts, activity guides, skippers, ghillies and more. Whether you’d like to listen to traditional Gaelic music or learn to draw with a local artist, all can be arranged with ease, from the relaxed to the ultra-sophisticated.

The area of Ardmore, and the wider counties of Waterford and East Cork, boast some of Ireland’s most unspoiled landscapes, quaint villages and magnificent coastline. One of Ireland’s prettiest fishing villages, with soft sand beaches and centuries of history on your doorstep, Ardmore is home to a host of culinary and activity offerings including urchin Bar & Adventures.

urchin Adventures offers a range of tailor-made activities including sea kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, hiking, fishing and wild water swimming, while urchin Bar provides an eclectic mix of contemporary and traditional music complimented by locally inspired casual dining.

If it’s undisturbed relaxation you’re after, the award-winning Well by the Sea spa is just a one-minute walk from your door, and contains an indoor swimming pool, four treatment rooms, a sauna and a steam room. A full range of treatments is available, from facials and massages using bespoke, award-winning botanical products, to peat and seaweed bathing therapies. The natural outdoor rock pool appears at full tide.
