    “Pros: Josie's house was spotless and vast!”

    Kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc. The views from the house are spectacular and the area around is just beautiful. Communications with the owner were good too. I think this would be a great property for a big family to use in the summer months, with lots of lovely beaches nearby. Cons: Driveway was very rutted and could do with some work. We visited in March and found the house to be too cold for our liking. However the owner adjusted the central heating timer for us. Plus we bought ...

    Kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc. The views from the house are spectacular and the area around is just beautiful. Communications with the owner were good too. I think this would be a great property for a big family to use in the summer months, with lots of lovely beaches nearby. Cons: Driveway was very rutted and could do with some work. We visited in March and found the house to be too cold for our liking. However the owner adjusted the central heating timer for us. Plus we bought coal and logs and got a fire going in the living room. It may have been because the house had been empty before we arrived and took a while to heat up

The property

Less than four miles from Fethard-on-Sea, this spacious cottage sits in a magnificent coastal spot and enjoys panoramic sea views.

This wonderful cottage has been superbly furnished with a contemporary style to allow any large group of friends or family a wonderful holiday cottage; the flexible sleeping accommodation includes a ground floor bedroom with an en-suite shower room, ensuring a comfortable stay for all generations of your party.

The children and the young at heart in your group will enjoy the spacious landing where they can play pool, whilst the bright kitchen with dining area makes for a perfect gathering point; on warmer evenings you can open the patio doors and let the salty air float in from the shore.

Why not enjoy an Irish coffee outside and gaze out towards the horizon as the stars slowly awaken in the night sky; watch how their reflections glimmer in the shimmering waters of the Celtic Sea that laps at the shore just beyond your cottage.

Snuggle in the sitting room and delight in the welcoming glow of the open fire, the perfect way to warm the soul after a day spent in the fresh coastal air that floats across to meet you.

With a vibrant history, Fethard-on-Sea is a lovely fishing and holiday village and provides a selection of pubs and shops as well as a harbour and a few golden beaches to delight you.

Discover the local Irish history with a trip aboard the Dunbrody Famine Ship and hear the fascinating tales of Irish emigrants who escaped the infamous potato famine.

This area of Wexford makes for a great location to explore the Hook Peninsular, take part in the exciting watersports on offer, or enjoy horse riding or a trip to the local golf course.

Once you've discovered the magic of the Wexford coast, we're sure you will want to return to this lovely cottage again and again.

About the location

FETHARD-ON-SEA, COUNTY WEXFORD

Duncannon 5.5 miles; New Ross 17 miles; Waterford 31.5 miles.

Fethard-on-Sea is a village nestling to the east of the Hook Peninsula, in the south-west of lovely County Wexford. Fethard-on-Sea has a colourful history, including the lifeboat tragedy of 1914, and the Fethard-on-Sea Boycott, which has been immortalised in print and on film. Now a quiet fishing and holiday village, Fethard makes a great base to enjoy sandy beaches, shops and pubs. The Hook Peninsula continues to attract visitors due to the ancient lighthouse and a multitude of beaches. There is a beach a day for a fortnight on the Peninsula, plus there are a variety of watersports, such as diving, snorkelling and shore angling, along with painting and birdwatching. There are many interesting historical sites to visit, such as Tintern Abbey with its walled garden, guided tour and forest walk and medieval abbeys in Dunbrody and Graiguenamanagh, plus the star shaped Elizabethan Fort at Duncannon houses a military and maritime museum, and The Cockleshell Art Gallery. Head up to New Ross and visit the JFK Arboretum or the Dunbrody Famine Ship, or travel over to Waterford in the west or Wexford in the east to take in all they have to offer, from the Wexford Opera House, Johnstown Castle and The Heritage Park to Waterford Castle and Waterford Crystal.
