Ardmore (Irish: Aird Mhor, meaning "Great Height") is a seaside resort and fishing village in County Waterford, Ireland. It is believed to be the oldest Christian settlement in Ireland. On a hill above the village is a well-preserved 30-m-high, 12th-century round tower and the ruins of a Cathedral and oratory dating from the 13th and 8th centuries respectively. The village includes two hotels, a number of pubs and restaurants, a seasonal petrol station, a pier and slipway.

This site was a fantastic tool to plan our 7-week trip. All the accommodations worked out perfectly and met our expectations. Your website was a great way to get suggestions, look at accommodation types that were available, as well as price ranges. From there I could start tailoring the trip to our travelling preferences. You should be proud of this great tool to empower travellers to do their own arrangements, and at the same time get a great price. I would definitely use this site again and will be highly recommending it to friends and family.
