Garden and garden furniture is perfect, gas bbq but didnât use it but a nice touch! Like that there is a washing line in situ, a dryer to but prefer clothes to be dried in the wind!! Clean upon arrival and we left it clean as well, private drive way ideal and in a quiet cul de sac, local shop pricey but handy and the curracloe hotel 2 mins away! Everyone very welcoming and mark the owner of the property really informative , if we go to Wexford again would definitely stay here if available!

The house is spacious but also cosy, the Christmas decorations and tree were such a lovely touch too! It's across the road from the hotel/pub and about a 4 minute drive to the gorgeous Curracloe beach. The owner is great at communicating & very helpful. We would definitely book again!
