There are plenty of activities to enjoy in the Dungarvan and Waterford area while you are enjoying your bed and breakfast accommodation at Powersfield House.

Golf
Dungarvan is heaven for golfers! We have three 18 hole Golf Courses each has its own spectacular setting. All are within a 5km radius of Powersfield House. Visitors are welcome in all three Golf Clubs.

Horses
West Waterford is a Horse Lovers Paradise. Home to many of Ireland's leading National Hunt Trainers. In the Dungarvan area alone we have three hunts, four equestrian centres and a racecourse in nearby Tramore.

Gardens
Dungarvan is home to many award-winning gardens. Each year the Dungarvan Tourist offices produces a little brochure informing the public as to which garden is open and when. I will have all this information on hand when you visit and will arrange for you to visit gardens in the area.

Arts and Crafts
Many artists and crafts people have made West Waterford their home. We also have some excellent galleries and arts centres in the area.

Water Sport
Nestled in the South East corner of Ireland, Dungarvan is washed by the rolling Atlantic ocean. My childhood summers were spent sailing a Mirror Dinghy around Dungarvan Bay stopping off at the Cunnigar for a picnic or pulling into Ballinacourty to see if a generous person would give me and my friends a spin on their Sailboard. When I returned to live in Dungarvan in 1997, I was delighted to find some of my friends had graduated to small sailing boats, so it was still possible to cadge a spin around the Bay!

Walking
Whether you want to walk 1Km or 40Km we can point you in the right direction. I have maps for walks around the Comeragh Mountains, Nire Valley, Ardmore, Lismore and Tramore. We would be delighted to organise a packed lunch for you and send you on your way. We have even been known to provide footbaths to soothe those who have overdone it!
