“The only thing that would have made our stay in Sea Renity better would have been some sunshine!”

The house was very clean and has everything you could need for a stay in Wexford. Great location with lovely views. Only a short drive to Fethard, Duncannon, many beautiful beaches and only a 2 minute drive to the ferry that will take you to Waterford. And great to find somewhere that’s dog friendly and has an enclosed garden so we didn’t have to keep the dogs on the lead all the time. I highly recommend Sea Renity for your stay In Wexford.

“I am frankly amazed that you have sent me this feedback questionnaire when the holiday it refers to was cancelled through no fault of our own.”

Due to the ongoing 14 day quarantine measures in place for all UK travellers to the Rep. of Ireland at the time of travel, I advised you by email on 20th July and again on 23rd July that we would like to cancel or preferably amend the date of our booking to a later date post-quarantine. I received no reply to either of my emails. Before our holiday was due to take place, I tried repeatedly to get through to your company over the phone to explain this and to check our options but could not get an answer. I spent nearly 5hrs in total on hold (at times waiting for over 45mins) in the week running up to our holiday and never once got through. In the end I had to phone the owner direct to advise them that we would have to cancel the booking. She was very understanding but said I would need to contact Sykes to organise any refunds or postponement to a later date. Sadly contacting your company by phone appears to be impossible and you do not respond to emails. Your COVID19 advice pages on the website said that there was no need for us to contact you as you were prioritising contacting all customers with holidays booked up to 31st July. To date, I have received absolutely no contact whatsoever from you in relation to our booking or the ongoing travel restrictions in place in Ireland. Clearly no-one is going to choose to go on holiday to a destination where you have to stay in the property for 14 days and yet you made no effort to contact me, instead sending generic emails about key collection etc. as if everything was normal. I did not cancel the booking on your website as the on-screen information suggested that if I did so I would not be entitled to any refund. This is outrageous for a booking that was made back in February before any lockdowns were imposed in the UK or Ireland. I would quite happily have amended the booking to a later date so that neither party ended up losing any money but the booking page for your website did not offer this facility and you never answer the phone to allow this to be discussed. I am appalled at the ineptitude of your customer service and the fact that you would seek to profit in anyway from this pandemic is a disgrace. Please contact me as soon as possible to arrange a refund or revised booking date.

The property

Sea Renity is a well equipped, modern comfortable property to base yourself from as you explore the numerous attractions in the area.

Sea Renity is such a well equipped comfortable property to base yourself from.

With its gorgeous modern kitchen, you’ll easily be able to rustle up an evening meal after your day of exploring.

Followed on then by a relaxing evening watching a DVD enjoying the surround sound on offer.

If the evenings are feeling a bit chilly, light up the cosy stove and enjoy being in the comfort while looking out on the sun setting over the bay.

Arthurstown itself is a gorgeous picturesque little village.

Apart from the view that will entertain you alone, you can enjoy a music session every Wednesday to Sunday evening during the summer in the “Kingsbay Inn” which is located just across the road, along with some wholesome local cuisine.

If you fancy treating yourself to a special night, you can book yourself a table in celebrity chefs, Kevin Dunden’s, impressive “Dunbrody House” located just up the road.

On the grounds of Dunbrody House there is also a more relaxed dining option “The Local”, where a relaxing drink can be enjoyed too.

The fabulous Duncannon Beach is only 3 miles away, a beach that is very popular with kite surfers, so sit back on your sun chair and enjoy the entertainment on show.

There are numerous other beaches to explore along the coast too.

You could always take the car ferry down the road in Ballyhack over to Passage East in Waterford.

Waterford has so much to offer, you’ll be in Waterford city in 20 minutes, where there is a multitude of things on offer from history, shopping and the impressive Waterford Crystal experience.

On your way back to the car ferry take a detour to the delightful fishing village of Dunmore East.

Finish the day off with fish and chips sitting on the beach front.

Another day of exploring could be spent visiting one of the worlds oldest lighthouse in Hook Head and the dramatic coastline.

In the area also is Loftus Hall, which is said to be haunted!

So if you enjoy a bit of adventure this is a must on your list.

However you decide to spend your holiday be it action packed or a relaxing break this property and its fabulous location won't disappoint.
