The Garden Cottage on a summer evening: a long white single-storey cottage with a slate roof and a glazed veranda lit warmly from inside, with sun loungers on the terrace and a gravel path curving across the lawn.

Your hosts

Tom & Becci, and the horses

Welcome to our beautiful self-catering holiday cottage here in south Wexford. We've worked hard to make sure you enjoy a perfect break. Sunshine or showers, we've got it covered.

We live in the main house about fifty metres away, so we're around if you need anything and out of your way if you don't. There'll be a basket waiting when you arrive, with brown bread, fresh eggs and an apple tart, logs by the stove, and a fire lit if the weather has turned.

Your immediate neighbours are just us and the horses!

  • Once we arrived we could explore the most beautiful parts of Hook Head directly on foot from the cottage. This made our weekend a complete getaway. Meandering back to the cottage through the woods in the evening sunlight has made a lifelong memory for us.

  • Thank you for such a magical stay! Your cottage is truly magnificent and so cozy — we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Being surrounded by such peaceful nature made our time here incredibly beautiful and restorative.

  • Fantastic place to stay. Most relaxing environment since we arrived in Ireland some weeks ago, and so pleased we booked here. Amazing attention to detail and really a home away from home.

Tintern Abbey mirrored in the still river on a clear morning, the medieval tower and bare trees reflected in the blue water, frost on the far bank.

This is what's on your doorstep.

Tintern Abbey, Bannow Bay and the woodland trails, all on foot from the cottage.
