We had a very comfortable two week stay as a family (2 adults, 1 x 6 yr old and 1 x 3yr old) at John & Mairead's cottage. Mairead was incredibly welcoming as a host, taking the time to show us where. everything was and how things worked, which really helped settle us in quickly. She had very thoughtfully put out some books and games for each of our boys too. In the morning, the welcome breakfast basket was a real treat as were the fresh eggs from the farm hens.
It's a fantastic cottage for families - the largely private, exceptionally clean and beautifully sandy beach is literally 5 minutes walk from the cottage and offered a great opportunity to go rock pooling, swimming and sandcastle building. Our boys loved meeting the pigs, donkeys, goat and hens and the experience of collecting fresh eggs for breakfast.
It was really handy being very close to Rosslare Harbour (especially for the morning ferry home) but the cottage is sufficiently rural you'd never know the harbour was that close. Days out were very easy to organise - we got as far as Waterford (1hr 20min drive) and Carrick-on-Suir in County Tipperary (1hr 35 min drive) as well as seeing all over County Wexford. Particular highlights are the Dunbrody Famine Ship at New Ross, the Waterford Crystal factory, Wells House and Ballycross Apple Farm - great for the children and a yummy crepe and waffle cafe too. Culleton's Pub is a must for a great meal.
