Classic period residence

Dromina House is set in Woodstown, linked in the past Jackie Kennedy and John Profumo. Tommy Barker says spacious home is in good decorative order.

WATERFORD’S Woodstown has seen the rich, the famous, the infamous and the media-fixated come and go — and has some of the county’s finest period residences to attract them with.

The coastal-set area around Woodstown had brief flirtations with fame in 1967s, when, for example, the late Jackie Kennedy accompanied by her children Caroline and John, stayed in the nearby Woodstown House after the death of John F Kennedy, when she also opened the John F Kennedy Arboretum in New Ross.
