Our stay was exactly what we had hoped for. We visited in August with our two young sons (5 and 2) for 9 nights. The property was just what we were looking for, plenty of space for us all (and even room for grandparents to visit for a few nights), and totally safe. When we arrived John met us promptly and helped us set up the stair gates as we wanted them. The house is on a piece of land with two other holiday homes, and the gate to the communal garden can easily be closed, leaving a wide safe space for the children to run around. They befriended children staying in a neighbouring house and played for hours with the garden toys provided.
The house is excellently equipped with all the self catering equipment you could need. We used to drive into Kilmore Quay (6 mins by car) most mornings and buy fish fresh from the ocean, and cook it up ourselves. There were plenty of lovely restaurants within driving distance as well. The one restaurant within walking distance is spectacular, Mary Barry's. We went there for a night time meal one night, when my parents babysat - we strolled up in under ten mins using the high-vis vests supplied in the house. We also took the kids there for lunch twice, they were so delighted with the two bouncy castles out the back.
The area is quiet and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing break. That said, you can be in Rosslare or Wexford town in twenty minutes.
The house itself is a charming cottage, equally enjoyable sitting on the patio in the sun or sitting cosied up on the couch by the stove listening to the rain on the shutters.
The hosts were great, John has the patience of a saint answering all my kids questions, and taking them on a tour of the farm. Their highlight was collecting eggs laid not 20 seconds previously and taking them home for lunch.
We'd love to come back, even in ten days we've left so much undone that I think a return trip will be necessary!
