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.

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!!

Cottage in Wonderland
'Horseshoe Cottage' is one of four restored dwellings on the Warren Family farm in Whitechurch, Co, Wexford. A little off the main roads, it oozes charm and comfort. The cottage is exceptionally well equipped, modern and warm. Patricia is a superb hostess- a personal welcome, fresh roses on the table, tea tray ready. TV, Wi-Fi etc. Full bookshelf and many board games. Sunny patio with bbq and a 'Miss Marple'garden. Well worth a visit.

A country cottage with all mod cons.
Clear directions to property . Good. Information about sights to see and places to eat pre arrival. Lots of information in the cottage. Brilliant wifi. Everything was very comfortable. All the equipment works and tablets were provided for dishwasher etc. Plenty of parking but tight manoeuvres required on occasions. We play golf and there are many courses within 40 minutes driving distance.

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.
