Fethard-on-Sea Holiday Retreat

Explore coast and countryside then kick back at this characterful cottage set at the heart of the historic Hook Peninsula. Pet friendly, it's close to one of Wexford's best beaches and just 3 miles from Fethard-on-Sea. With a large garden and welcoming interiors, this two-bedroomed home-from-home is one the whole family will love.

Amid the fertile farmland of Ireland's 'sunniest corner', this sympathetically restored stone property promises a complete escape for a party of five and one canine companion. Located along a quiet country lane, its traditional façade has a contemporary twist - a striking glass-walled porch welcoming guests inside. Once over the threshold you'll find a fusion of original features and modern must-haves, starting in the kitchen/diner where sleek cabinets and counters complement a rustic-style dining suite and dresser. All the essentials for easy-living are here; after your meal, relocate to the restful sitting room to watch TV or unwind on your choice of comfortable seating - the central heating will keep everyone cosy whatever the weather. When it's time to sleep, the two bedrooms upstairs are similarly inviting; one has a double bed and the other has both a double and a single. A bathroom and a shower room complete the comfort for all. Outside, there are gardens front and back, with furniture for al fresco dining and a large lawn for games.

Around a mile away, the neighbouring Dollar and Booley Bays offer lovely views across the estuary, especially at sunset. Less than 3 miles north of the latter, Duncannon has an idyllic fishing harbour sheltered by 16th-century Duncannon Fort. Head 3 miles in the opposite direction and you'll reach Fethard-on-Sea, a small coastal village with welcoming pubs, restaurants and more magnificent beaches, while 6 miles south, Hook Lighthouse - the oldest intact operational lighthouse in the world - is a must-see.
