Brian and Annabelle were wonderful hosts and gave us plenty of information both before and during our stay. The property is in a peaceful part of County Wexford with access to lots of local amenities, especially for a young family like ourselves. The property itself has a generous garden and play areas for our children. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend the property to any other future families in the future. Thank you, Brian and Annabelle, for a wonderful holiday. Fionnuala, Patrick and family.

Brian and Annabel are very knowledgeable of the area and all the places they recommended did not disappoint. The cottage still had some small alternations that needed completing, but nothing that distracted from the cosy feel of the place. Would definitely use again. The large lawn for the kids was brilliant for them to safely run around in.

Brian was very helpful he contacted us before we arrived and gave us detailed information about the house and the local area places to eat and places of interest. The house is lovely in a beautiful quiet setting. We were a group of 4 adults and found the house spacious, very comfortable.spotlessly clean and very well equipped. A short driving distance from a few lovely beaches we swam at Carne beach and Rosslare strand which were both beautiful and clean. We ate and played pool a few times in Meylers Pub which is very close to the house and the food was great. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Owls Hoot and will book it again Debbie
