We stayed for two nights in February 2022. Firstly, the cottage is beautifully decorated and is ideally situated to explore Wexford by car or for scenic local walks.
Johnny met us on arrival and was very friendly. The cottage however was bitterly cold. There was no heating on and the stove was unlit. We lit the fire and turned on the heating but we were uncomfortably cold the first night. We slept in the fleeces and thermal base layers that we had brought for walking.
Sonja called over the second day. When we asked for another heater, she immediately dropped one over but at that stage we had already gotten a bit of heat into the cottage. The cold wasn't helped by the fact the entrance door would not close fully as it was swollen from a recent flood. This door lead into a porch area that was freezing cold. The houses had been flooded at Christmas and there were lingering issues of damp, mould and warped doors.
While we sympathise with Sonja and Johnny, we would not have booked if knew about these issues as they did impact our stay.
We were advised no less than three times to read the laminates that contained instructions for the cottage. These laminates contained multiple threats that reviews were at stake if rules were not adhered to! It even mentioned that we could be charged €350 if the chimney caught fire and the fire service had to call out!
The crockery and cutlery had remnants of food on them and had to be washed before use. The river walk was absolutely beautiful but not suitable for small dogs.
Unfortunately we were disappointed with our stay. There are a lot of 5star reviews of the cottage so maybe our experience was a once off.
