Excellent Duncannon Holiday Rental

Set on a quiet country road and backed by a small patch of woodland, this spacious cottage provides a serene escape for families and friends travelling to County Wexford. Nearby Duncannon (3.5 miles) is a small fishing village with a mile-long sandy beach, an idyllic fishing harbour and an imposing fort, which dates back 450 years and boasts incredible views over the Waterford Estuary. Part of Ireland's Ancient East, this area boasts an array of historic sites from the Hook Lighthouse (9.5 miles) to Tintern Abbey (4 miles) and its glorious walled gardens. It's a superb area for lovers of outdoor pursuits, from walking, cycling and sailing to birdwatching and dolphin-spotting.

An ambience of warmth and comfort greets you as you step inside this detached, single-storey bungalow. There's heaps of space for socialising and entertaining, including an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of the property. The generous kitchen has warm wooden cabinets and a farmhouse-style dining table, while the adjoining living area features an assortment of comfortable seating along with a wood burner and TV. You can spread out for some quiet time too, with a separate lounge with an open fire, along with a sunny conservatory that's ideal for curling up with a book. Along the corridor are four tastefully presented bedrooms, a king-size master suite with an en-suite shower room, plus two double rooms and a family room with a double and bunk beds for two, which share the family bathroom. A convenient utility room completes the accommodation.

Outside, a large lawned garden circles the property, backed by trees with ample space for parking.
