About this property
Approximately 3km from the picturesque fishing village of Kilmore, County Wexford, paces away from a sandy beach and great amenities, rests this delightful, detached cottage, Woodlawn. Benefitting from all-ground-floor living, with ramps and handrails to assist those with limited mobility, this charming abode is idyllic for a family of eight with their elderly members. Drive into the gated grounds, encompassed by a lovely garden with a lawn for your canine companions and outdoor seating to bask in the sun. Be welcomed into the spacious hallway, where you can house your walking boots ready for an adventure and admire the stylish décor with wooden doors for a rustic charm. Step into the well-presented sitting room, featuring a crackling open fire and two plush sofas to unwind on as you flicker through the Smart TV. Moving through the property, find the open-plan kitchen/diner, housing all the necessities for your self-catering stay, including an electric oven and hob to rustle up heart-warming meals and a coffee maker to enjoy a steaming mug in the morning. There is a dining table with leather chairs to settle down for a feast and chat about the excursions in County Wexford. On warmer evening, make use of the enclosed garden to relish barbecue cooked food as you savour the quaint setting on the furniture. Discover the sunroom, ideal for curling up with a good book on the sofa, away from the social rooms. As your eyes grow heavy, choose between three traditional doubles, with matching furniture and two of these rooms include en-suite shower rooms. One of the double bedrooms gives access to a lovely twin bedroom and this bedroom can be accessed from the side of the house with a ramp for wheelchairs. In the morning, relish a refreshing rinse in either an en-suite shower room or indulge in a soak amongst bubbles in the family bathroom to relax before the exciting day ahead. A short distance will lead you to Kilmore Quay Harbour, where you can enjoy fishing and watching the bobbing boats and nearby is Kilmore Beach, here you can dip your feet in the fresh sea and build sandcastles with the little ones on the fine sand. Jump in the car and visit the wonderful town of Wexford, home to golden sandy beaches, a superb golf course for sporting enthusiasts and a racecourse where you can get dressed up to the nines. Wexford also hosts a contemporary arts centre to soak in the creative culture, as well as the 12th-century Selskar Abbey to immerse yourself in riveting history. Why not embark on an adventure to Great Saltee Island, where wildlife lovers can admire the variety of birds at the renowned bird sanctuary or explore the unspoilt scenery of Ballyteigue for a slice of bliss. For memories you will cherish, choose Woodlawn for your next holiday.
Settled in the south east corner of County Wexford is the small fishing village of Kilmore Quay and is nearby Wexford town and the ferry port of Rosslare. Renowned for its thatched cottage and marina, Kilmore Quay is a fantastic destination with an abundance of fish at the harbour. Beautiful beaches are within easy reach and Ballyteigue for wonderful walks along sand dunes. Spend the day at Great Saltee Island to visit the spectacular bird sanctuary.

Plenty of room in the house with kids. It should have been cleaner when we arrived (unemptied bins, towels on the line etc.), not a huge deal and maybe a once off but annoying all the same. For us (6) there really wasn't enough in the kitchen for breakfast and dinner without having to wash dishes and cutlery after each meal and for 8 it would be too little.

Plenty of space for us to be private or share; we were lucky with the weather but still not quite able to use outdoors to sit out - chilly wind! Any issues dealt with quickly....just finding it was a mission as it looked close to Saltees Coastal Hotel, a good stop for assistance! There are no road names,just numbers. Retrospectively it was easiest to drive to Bridgetown and easy to locate from there. We ended up using Whatsapp location link for the later arrivals. However we had a lovely week and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Easy access to Kilmore Quay, Hook Peninsular and Wexford generally. Thank-you.
