    “The Trawler was good value for money, it was just a couple of minutes walk to the beach and had a nice big garden for the kids to run around in.”

    However, the accuracy of the listing was not great- there is no pub and shop less than a mile away, probably more like 4km away down a winding country road- meaning that we had to drive there and we couldn't both have a drink. The listing also states that there is a cot and highchair on request, but there isn't. We weren't made aware of this until we were at the property and I contacted sykes to find out where it was.

    However, the accuracy of the listing was not great- there is no pub and shop less than a mile away, probably more like 4km away down a winding country road- meaning that we had to drive there and we couldn't both have a drink. The listing also states that there is a cot and highchair on request, but there isn't. We weren't made aware of this until we were at the property and I contacted sykes to find out where it was. I heard nothing back from sykes until the next morning. In the meantime I had emailed the owners and they had got back to me to say they didn't provide these and had made sykes aware back in April. Had I known, I could have brought a travel cot, instead my 1 year old had to sleep on a mattress on the floor for the week. Luckily I had brought a spare single sheet which i put on the mattress, as only the double bed and one other single bed had been made up (which my other daughter was using), and there were no spare sheets provided. Apart from these issues, the house was comfortable, just could do with a little maintenance e.g. the shower doors didn't close properly and when the washing machine drains it spills out onto the back patio. Also kitchen equipment was lacking- only 4 forks provided, cheese grater was broken and sharp at edges, serving spoon was broken, ladle also broken etc. All the above issues did marr the holiday a bit, but otherwise was a good base to explore wexford.

About the location

BLACKWATER, COUNTY WEXFORD

Enniscorthy 10 miles; Wexford 11 miles.

The village of Blackwater is just 20 miles north of the ferry port at Rosslare. There is a busy village atmosphere with two shops and a selection of pubs. Less than 2 miles away is the stunning coastline of Wexford Bay, which boasts 20 miles of sandy Blue Flag beaches backed by dunes and nature trails. The southernmost stretch of beach at Curracloe has been voted “The best beach in Ireland” and was the location for the opening shots of the movie blockbuster Saving Private Ryan. The quaint heritage town of Wexford has narrow winding streets, a colourful quayside lined with historical buildings and a vibrant traditional Irish nightlife. Other ideas for days out include shopping in Waterford for exquisite crystal ornaments and unique knitwear, or a round of golf on the beautiful links at St Helen's, while all the excitement of Dublin is 80 miles away.
