Fethard-on-Sea is a village nestling to the east of the Hook Peninsula, in the south-west of lovely County Wexford. Fethard-on-Sea has a colourful history, including the lifeboat tragedy of 1914, and the Fethard-on-Sea Boycott, which has been immortalised in print and on film. Now a quiet fishing and holiday village, Fethard makes a great base to enjoy sandy beaches, shops and pubs. The Hook Peninsula continues to attract visitors due to the ancient lighthouse and a multitude of beaches. There is a beach a day for a fortnight on the Peninsula, plus there are a variety of watersports, such as diving, snorkelling and shore angling, along with painting and birdwatching. There are many interesting historical sites to visit, such as Tintern Abbey with its walled garden, guided tour and forest walk and medieval abbeys in Dunbrody and Graiguenamanagh, plus the star shaped Elizabethan Fort at Duncannon houses a military and maritime museum, and The Cockleshell Art Gallery. Head up to New Ross and visit the JFK Arboretum or the Dunbrody Famine Ship, or travel over to Waterford in the west or Wexford in the east to take in all they have to offer, from the Wexford Opera House, Johnstown Castle and The Heritage Park to Waterford Castle and Waterford Crystal.

The house is very comfortable and well equipped.The large garden was spacious and very well used by the grandchildren. Having the upstairs sitting room was a big bonus, surrounded by spectacular views. I would go again in a heartbeat.

The location is fabulous. A short walk to Hook Lighthouse and Slade harbour. Fethard and several gorgeous beaches all within a 10-minute drive. The house is very pleasant and has a huge garden. A second fridge in the utility room and an abundance of towels and tea towels were available, which are great. The wooden floors upstairs are very noisy so if you are staying with a restless guest, you will hear them moving around at night. The kitchen space is a little tight for cooking around the table and the bed linen is worn out and needs replacing. Overall, a good house in a great location.
