Our week in Wextord

The property was perfect and had everything in it that we needed. It is in a great location and places like Hook Head, Tramore, Dunmore East, Kilmore Quay, Wexford, New Ross are a relatively short drive away. There are some excellent places to eat nearby such as The Hollow, Kehoes in Kilmore Quay, The Strand in Duncannon. We also got excellent takeaway from the Very Well Cafe in Ramsgrange. I would 100% recommend this property as a place to stay.

What wonderful find this place was!!

We could not have been happier! What a lovely place in the country with so much charm and ambience. And a great location to jump off to so many charming adventures. You MUST go to the JFK Homestead. Mary Murphy gave us the BEST experience there. Also go to Hook Lighthouse - beautiful area. Another must is Coventry Stores - a pub in Wexford. Visit on a Sunday at noon to enjoy local musicians playing Irish music while you have your lunch! Patricia and Roger, thank you for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay, One of the highlights of our trip!!

Spacious, well-equipped, private cottage in a tranquil garden setting, with easy access to cities, villages, sites and amenities. It was just the two of us, but the layout with two baths, and bedrooms at opposite ends of the house from one another would offer plenty of privacy for housemates. Parking is easy. The wif-fi is strong. Even on cloudy days, the many skylights and windows keep the home bright. The hosts are wonderful! Their years of experience are evident in their offering the perfect balance of service, attentiveness and respect for privacy.

Great hosting in beautiful area

Really spacious and lovely historical building converted into a holiday cottage. Patricia & Roger are perfect hosts and extremely welcoming and responsive. They provide you with lots of helpful local information. The respond quickly when contacted with any requests or issues. Unfortunately, we found the bed in the main bedroom very hard and struggled to sleep well. We had a problem with water temperature in the shower but Roger came and sorted that out. But the water pressure isn’t great. Overall we had a lovely holiday but it was unfortunate about the bed.

Dear Shana, thank you for your kind words. Delighted you enjoyed your recent stay in Horseshoe Cottage. It is a shame that you found the firm mattress uncomfortable. Mattress comfort/firmness is so subjective but we have not received any other comments as I mentioned at the time. Glad the mattress topper helped. We were not aware of an issue with water pressure but we are looking into this. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. All the best, Roger and Patricia

Erholung pur

Die schöne Ferienwohnung mit zwei Schlafzimmern und zwei Badezimmern war der ideale Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung der Halbinsel Hook. Die Städte Wexford und Waterford sind mit dem Auto schnell erreichbar. Das nahe gelegene New Ross bietet alles für den täglichen Bedarf und einige Sehenswürdigkeiten.Die Vermieter sind fraundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Quaint cozy cottage

We with 2 kids 7 & 10 loved our staycation in Wexford. This cottage was a perfect base for us to organise ourselves and have day trips to all that Wexford has to offer. The owners were brilliantly friendly and accommodating. Big thumbs up.
