Orchard Cottage

We really loved this Cottage. We wanted a quiet relaxing break with green surroundings near a beach and that is what what we got. The size was perfect for our 2 adult, teen and toddler family. There was books to read and tractors to play with, which my son loved. We didn’t want for anything as everything was there for use! I cooked a bit and had everything I needed, even oil that we didn’t think of bringing for the fried eggs. The owners left us a homemade rhubarb apple tart and homemade brown bread. They even thought of the good butter for the brown bread and homemade jam. Luckily for my teen the house has WiFi. We had access to a beautifully kept orchard that my son enjoyed running round and round. There’s a big gate to make it safe for young children. You can tell straight away from arrival how well looked after the whole garden is. Shower was always nice and hot! And it was used a lot and never went cold. What a location!! Hidden gem!! The beach is just 15 minutes walk away. The road down to the beach is quiet and safe for everyone walking. A few friendly locals were seen and will always wave and say hello. The beach was so quiet, even on the hotter days. We love some nice grub but we only managed to try The Village Chipper in Blackwater town, which is only a 5 minute drive from the cottage. They had everything from full Irish, chipper food and even excellent dinners you would think you could only get in a pub or cafe. On our last morning we sat down and had breakfast here. Everyone enjoyed the food! The owners are genuinely friendly people and not far if we needed them. I felt comfortable enough to ask a question and ask for a lend of some crutches 😆 Thanks again Paul and Shirley! We’ll be back to the cottage again for another peaceful stay!

Nothing.

Situated in rural wexford, 5 minute drive to local village. The house is immaculate. Lovely lay out. Toys and books for kids to play with. Bread and tart ready to eat, milk, butter. Kitchen has everything. Beds are comfortable. Shower is hot. The main bedroom opens out into the garden. The orchard is beautiful. I literally relaxed the minute i went in the door. Lovely clean cot and high chair provided. Kids were so excited to see the house and books. The gates close in the garden, such a safe place for a 5 and 3 year old. Owners were lovely, professional. 5 minute drive to local beaches and 15 mins from curracloe beach. Lovely local pet farm in blackwater. Walked from raven point forest down onto curracloe beach. Just such a peaceful place.

Tv doesn't really work well, bad reception. But tbh we barely turned it on we were out in the garden so much and out in beautiful countryside.

This was our second stay at this property. We stayed two years previously. The property is in perfect condition and in a great location in the heart of Wexford. We are a family with three young children and it was perfect for us.

A smart TV so that you could connect to Netflix or other streaming services would be quite useful.

Everything is gorgeous. Very clean. So peaceful there. Hosts are so friendly and helpful , so kind to leave fresh apple tart, brown bread and milk. Their little dogs are gorgeous and our little boy loved them. We would return again.

Wish we had booked for longer.

The thoughtful provision of milk, butter and homemade brown bread and apple tart was much appreciated.

Clean, everything you needed was there. A care package on arrival - Homemade brown bread butter milk jam & apple pie.

Very spacious, had everything you needed.. the garden is beautiful for kids to sit in and enjoy a picnic very safe place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. On arrival the host left us fresh baked bread and tart.

Really clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was there. A lovely touch for when we got there was fresh bread and an apple tart with butter, milk and jam in the fridge.

You can only put the heating on for an hour at a time. It was freezing when we were there and we would get very cold during the night.
