Tom's Alpaca Cottage

Horrible location no idea why it’s listed as Waterford when it’s a 30 euro trip to town everything else was average

It's far from everything, you have only 8 minutes to use the shower, you have to pay to use a towel, no shampoo or gel shower. Was so difficult to find it the location. You have to check out very early 10:00am. I don't recommend it.

Pas d’eau chaude en cuisine ni au lavabo Une seule douche & toilette pour l’ensemble de la communauté 9 personnes lors de notre séjour Toilette&douche vétustes la chambre 2 personnes ne correspond pas à la photo,lits superposés, matelas inconfortable, grande comme un placard , tout le confort sur le palier ! Concernant la cuisine ensemble 2 plaques électriques et 6 couverts pour l’ensemble des résidents Les tarifs ne correspondent pas à la prestation !

No towels in bathroom

Very friendly welcoming host, Tom who paid attention to details and even upgraded our room. Only bad thing was it was so expensive. I appreciate Ireland in general ls pricey but it seemed expensive to me (maybe I'm just a broke ass woman from Yorkshire,county if penny pinchers

Très bon accueil, flexibilité sur l'heure d'arrivée et conseils de visite. L'endroit est calme et à 10-15 minutes de Waterford dans la campagne. Ambiance décontractée d'auberge de jeunesse, une salle de douche et une toilette (propres) pour les 3 chambres et un grand espace de vie/cuisine. Tout s'est bien passé. Cependant nous avons trouvé le prix très élevé pour les infrastructures (comparé aux autres auberges fréquentées en Irlande).

1 douche en 1 toilet voor zoveel personen is echt te weinig. Hygiëne van de douche en toiletruimte laat te wensen over en de muntautomaat voor de douche werkte niet.

This might have been a nice hostel once, but is now past glory. Biggest minus: just 1 toilet in a hostel with 12 beds, which was even located in the bathroom with the only shower. No decent cooking facilities. Noisy, barking dog. Bad mattresses. The hosts are very cordial and friendly.

We had a really warm welcome when we arrived. The staff is very friendly and facilities were okay. The wifi only in the kitchen. There wasn’t much noise during evening and night. So that was very nice. However the mattress was not working for us: we both felt the coil in the mattress in our hips…. The toilet is in the bathroom. We wanted to leave in the morning (check out time 10) so we had to ask people wait for taking a shower.

Rough and ready.Only a single bathroom. Wifi erratic, reliable only in the kitchen. Host, Tom, pleasant.

Clean and comfortable but a bit difficult to locate. A bigger sign is needed. The 6pm check in is a bit late but Tom did call me to allow me in after 4pm when the cleaning was done

lovely plqace to stay and rest, very much a home-away-from-home environment. The host, Tom, generously shared his time making excellent recommendations and helped me plan my itinerary for the remainder of my trip. 11/10, would stay again!

Tom’s cottage was a great stay, very clean and plenty of space in the female only dorm. Tom took a genuine interest in getting to know each of his guests and made each of us feel very welcome! Contacting him was very easy and they are currently working my to expand the amount of bathrooms and beds available in the hostel. I would greatly recommend this hostel!

Fantastic property. Tom was so accommodating and friendly. Had so many amazing recommendations. Location wise, was perfect, not too far from Waterford, but far enough that it was incredibly peaceful and relaxing.

Had a great stay. Tom is super friendly and insightful. The hostel feels very safe and cozy and provides a good atmosphere to meet people.

This is a lovely small house, clean and comfortable beds. Only one bathroom for the whole hostel, one small room to hang out in and tiny kitchen. The accommodation is a 30 minute walk along the side of the road into the nearest country town and a 3 hour walk into Waterford. There are limited buses from the nearest town into Waterford. It was a comfortable stay.

Nicest, most welcoming, most reasonable hostel i have ever stayed in Tom and his wife are very friendly and helpful

We only stayed one night at Tom’s beautiful property but would’ve loved more! It was so gorgeous and quiet here. Tom was very helpful with knowledge of where to travel next !

Super friendly host family. All areas kept scrupulously clean. Beds and bed linen excellent in the large bunk room where I stayed. Fellow guests a friendly and considerate group from various countries. Would definitely stay again.

An sich richtig gut und sauber, aber die Küche ist sehr klein und es ist 1 Badezimmer, wo auch die Toilette drin ist. Es kommt kaum warmes Wasser und allgemein wenig Wasser aus der Dusche. Die Zimmer sind gut. Ein zweites Bad wäre gut und eine etwas größere Küche mit mehr Utensilien

Tom was lovely and the hostel was great. I would definitely recommend a car.

Tom m'a expliqué d'une manière complète ce dont j'avais besoin. Il prend le temps. Je l'ai trouvé passionné et investi dans l'organisation et la tenue de son établissement. Je me recommande. Vladimir.

Awesome hostel. Very friendly host. The nearest town is about a 25 minute walk. There's a small supermarket and a busstation which connects to Waterford.

Dag Tom, ik heb goede herinneringen aan ons korte contact en mijn verblijf in je hostel. Ik heb geen verbeterpunten. Met vriendelijke groet, Richard (19-21 juli)

Adequate accommodation the shower was terrible a mere dribble of barely lukewarm water

Tom is very friendly and happy to help you with recommandation for what to visit. The accommodation is clean.

Rough and ready.Only a single bathroom. Wifi erratic, reliable only in the kitchen. Host, Tom, pleasant.

Tom is super nice and hospitable, this would be an excellent hostel for a family or a group, especially if they have a car. For young solo backpackers with no car, if you intend on visiting Waterford the location of this hostel is inconvenient. A 15 minute bus ride from the city with busses only running every hour or so. The one complaint I do have is that there were no lockers for belongings. Tom explained the area is extremely safe and he is vigilant with making sure everyone is respectful.
