• Samuel (10/5): - Our hosts were delightful. The breakfast was delicious and the fresh fruit was a wonderful addition to the morning. The property was lovely and their dog, Remy, greeted us warmly upon our arrival. It was perfect after a day of driving along the Golden Coast. I would highly recommend!
• Norma (8/5): - Owner very accommodating. Offered hearty breakfast. We arrived late & only restaurant option nearby was closing. Spent one night & out early after breakfast.
• MARGARET (10/5): - Outstanding breakfast with fresh squeezed OJ and homemade scones. Full Irish breakfast was lovely. Comfortable lounge with microwave, fridge, and water cooler. Very clean. My only wish was that they would replace their frayed hand towels and noisy bathroom fan. Overall very comfortable with great breakfast .

The property was beautiful, the bedroom was nice and the hot, made to order breakfast with locally sourced food items was fabulous. We only wished we could have spent an additional night.

• Steve (10/5): - Enjoyed our time
• Vanessa (10/5): - Quiet, nice view, beautiful property. Not far at all from a delicious restaurant. Rooms are spacious and the host was very nice and accommodating, answering all my questions. First time staying there and I would stay again. Comfortable beds and a lovely breakfast in the morning.

• William (10/5): - Beautiful property, great breakfast choices, and friendly hosts.
• Carol (8/5): Scones were amazing! - Great stay, breakfast was great, especially the scones.
• Robert (10/5): - Susan and Des are lovely people and this was a great spot for exploring the area. Tremendous breakfast as well.
• Aideen (10/5): - Beautiful B&B in a lovely area only a short driving distance from Waterford City. I had a large, comfortable room - everything was pristinely clean, and the shower was superb. Breakfast was a real treat, with an excellent variety on the menu, and tiny home made (warm!) scones accompanying whatever you chose. The guest lounge was well equipped with a fridge, microwave, cutlery and delph, comfortable couches, and a 'drop and swap' area for books. I would highly recommend a stay in Samuel's Heritage, and will definitely return the next time I'm in Waterford.
• Luisa (10/5): Excellent stay - We had a wonderful stay. Desmond was super helpful and knowledgeable upon arrival. The room was lovely and had everything we needed - excellent shower and the most comfortable bed. Like a home away from home! Breakfast was excellent and tasty. I wish I could have eaten more! Two negatives (very minor things) : The internet was spotty at times Would have liked tea/coffee facilities in the room. Would not hesitate to stay again
• Teresa (10/5): Can't wait to visit again. - Excellent B & B - a gem of a find. Superb location. Proprietors so welcoming and helpful, easy parking and delicious breakfast cooked freshly to order. Large bedroom with walk in shower and toiletries provided. Little touches like cotton wool pads and tissues made it extra special. Very useful folder inn the bedroom to help decide where to go to explore and where to eat.
• Aidan (10/5): Peaceful, clean, spacious and quiet - My wife and I had a lovely time here. Samuel's Heritage guest house was very comfortable and quiet. Our room was very spacious and clean. The house sits on a hill on its own deadend road overlooking Waterford and the river, beautiful views. You don't hear a thing at night. It's about a 10 minute drive from the city centre. For breakfast there is everything you could want and plenty of it. Susan is a very welcoming and attentive host.
• David (10/5): Lovely place near Waterford. - Beautiful B&B up on a hill overlooking Waterford. The hosts Susan and Des were very welcoming and made us feel right at home. Delicious breakfast included as well as help defrosting the car windows. Highly recommend this establishment.
• Jason (10/5): - This place is an excellent oppportunity to get away from the bustle of the city and relax in a country-like atmosphere that is still very close to the amenities of town. The views from the property were beautiful. The hosts, Des & Susanne, are incredibly friendly and helpful. This atmosphere creates an excellent and authentic Irish experience for travellers. Breakfast was excellent. I would definately stay here again.
• carel (8/5): - The property is lovely and the staff are lovely as well. The place is immaculate. The breakfast was really nice, good choices. Personally, I would've liked a kettle in our room in stead of in the communal sitting room. Also, it would've been nice to have a runner carpet on the wooden floor to make walking down the corridor a bit quieter.
• Patricia (10/5): - Beautiful property owners were very pleasant breakfast was excellent would recommend it
• Scott (8/5): - This is about a 3-star stay. Wonderful staff and ultra quick checkin. My only issue is that the heat didn’t work. I found out that the heat had to be turned on by the staff. I waited a few hours and it still wasn’t turned on. I made a second request and yet it still didn’t turn on. Other than a cold room, it was great! An awesome breakfast!
• Paul (8/5): - Very nice location within walking distance of a local restaurant. The only downside common to other places we stayed was the difficulty in using the TV and remote.
• John (8/5): - Breakfast is outstanding! Staff was very helpful.
• Trevor (10/5): - Very friendly with great breakfast
• Anne (10/5): - A really beautiful location close to Waterford. Easy to find. Nearby pub recomended for dinner was a quick drive and great food

• John (10/5): - Smooth fast checkin. Great views in a very quiet setting Large comfortable rooms

There is a common room available with a refrigerator, TV couches etc.. that worked out great. Very nice place to stay, would recommend.

Grounds were very nice. The room was very cold even after I asked for the heat to be turned up. It was nice to have the towel warmers turned on at least. The pillows and mattress were very firm.

I was highly impressed yo find a fitness suite in a bed & breakfast The hosts were most welcoming - they didn't want us to leave ! The only minor gripe was a green LED light on the ceiling of our room, very tiny but bright enough to affect sleep. Don't let that put you off staying here though. If we had stayed another night I would just have taped something over it to block it out.

The room was spacious and very comfortable and spotless. There is a lovely guests lounge where you can make tea, toast and heat up food on the microwave. A large fridge to keep your food in. For sports fans the tv in the lounge has full Sky package . We stayed two nights and would have no hesitation in recommending Samuels Heritage. The breakfast was excellent and the home made scones were very nice.
• Bounin (10/5): - Best home made breakfast ever, not just in Ireland which we had total of 6, but all over the world. Susan’s home making was so good that we were disappointed at all other Irish breakfasts we had in following 5 days. Daz, the husband , was very helpful in helping me to buy necessary personal belongs in nearby Testco, due to loss of my luggage by Aer Lingus. It was indeed felt at home during the stay.
• Daniel (10/5): - Breakfast was excellent!
• Colin (10/5): - We enjoyed a very comfortable stay for our first night in Ireland after arriving on the ferry from Fishguard. Des and Susan were very friendly and welcoming on a dark rainy night. After a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed we were provided with a delicious breakfast along with much helpful tourist information. We would definitely stay again!
• Mary (10/5): - Susan and Des were excellent hosts and cooks! The room was great and they even had a small gym and lounge plus it’s out in the country and quiet but close to the Viking Triangle. Lovely views from their B and B.
• Andrew (10/5): - Samuel's Heritage is a jewel, Susan is a star. The breakfast was excellent, the view from the site magnificent, the property beautiful, beds comfortable, and sat nav took us right there - we arrived late, and our host was very understanding. Handy for Waterford, but still nice and rural: we could easily have relaxed there for a few days had we known how lovely this place is.
