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.

Spotless. Great appliances. Fantastic cups, cutlery and utensils. Incredible view. Nicest holiday house we ever stayed in. Five star.

Paddy & Ann were brilliant hosts. Canât fault a single thing from start to finish. Old Field House is genuinely the best place we have ever stayed. We couldnât believe the attention to detail and how well equipped the house was! Our 1yr old daughter was so well catered for with endless supplies of toys and places to explore. The views are outstanding and we will miss seeing the harbour from the living room window. Everything was outstanding and we cannot wait to come back again next year.
