“comfortable holiday cottage with sea views”
Tuskar Cottage is one of a row of 5 cottages at Mill Road Farm in Kilmore Quay, County Wexford. Comfortably furnished for 3 people with all appliances necessary for a self catering holiday with the bonus of a dishwasher and washing machine and free wifi, almost essential for a gaming 9 year old. Our stay started off well with a plate of fresh scones waiting on our arrival. Although the farmyard is right behind the cottages there was no noise and the farmer was happy for us to watch milking time when we asked. The cottage is located very conveniently for Kilmore Quay, just a mile or two from the harbour full of fishing boats and the village is very pretty with thatched and whitewashed cottages, several places to eat and small shop for self catering. The locals are very friendly and helpful. Recommend a visit to the Saltees Island by boat to view the sea bird nesting colonies and spectacular views but to be aware of limited numbers allowed each day. Recommend this cottage for a summer or winter break as fitted with central heating for colder seasons, would return for another break if we were travelling this part of Ireland again.

About the location
KILMORE QUAY, COUNTY WEXFORD
Rosslare 12 miles; Wexford 14 miles.
Kilmore Quay is a small fishing village situated in the south east corner of County Wexford, 14 miles from Wexford town and just 12 miles from the international ferry port of Rosslare. Famous for its numerous whitewashed thatched cottages and its state-of-the art marina, Kilmore Quay is also an established angling centre with many species of fish in abundance, and the seafood festival in July is the perfect example of it! The area is ideal for a spot of diving as the seas from Hook Head to Carnsore Point have been known as "the graveyard of a thousand ships". Beautiful unspoilt sandy beaches are within easy reach of the village, with nearby Ballyteigue offering beautiful walks along some of the finest sand dunes in the south-east of the country. A day trip to the Great Saltee Island and its famous bird sanctuary is an absolute must!
