About this property
Duncannon 1.6 miles. This superbly-presented detached cottage sits in a rural position next to the owners working livestock and arable farm, within easy reach of the popular seaside village of Duncannon in County Wexford. Lovingly furnished throughout, this Duncannon cottage offers a homely base for small families, and an ideal romantic retreat for couples. Set entirely across the ground floor, there are two delightful bedrooms, a shower room and an open plan living area with a spacious kitchen, a quaint dining area and a cosy sitting area where you can warm any achy bones by the fire after a jam-packed day wandering the surrounding hills and sandy beaches.
Outside this charming Wexford cottage is a quaint seating area where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining. The charming fishing village of Duncannon is home to a wonderful, golden stretch of sandy beach, a popular spot with locals and tourists and the ideal place to spend the day swimming and sunbathing. The village welcomes many visitors each year, as it is located on the scenic Ring of Hook, and once a year Duncannons Sand Sculpting Festival provides a superb day out where you can witness some remarkable, if short-lived creations. Visit the Hook Peninsula where you can view the beautiful Tintern Abbey and also Loftus Hall, where you can take part in a tour of what is reputed to be Irelands most haunted house.
Within easy reach are many exciting family-friendly activities including kite surfing and pony trekking. The lively town of New Ross is only a short drive away, and is bursting with fine restaurants, traditional pubs alive with music, and excellent shops to dip into and locate your perfect souvenir. New Ross is also well worth a trip to visit the Dunbrody Famine Ship and the John F Kennedy Homestead, both places creating memorable day trips. Whatever your age or taste, there is something for everyone in this wonderful part of Wexford.
The picturesque fishing village of Duncannon is situated in southwest County Wexford, and is dominated by Duncannon Fort, which sits on a rocky outcrop jutting into the channel. Waterford Harbour lies to the west and the golden sandy beach is popular for swimming and sunbathing. The International Sand Sculpting Festival is a village highlight each year. With a couple of pubs and restaurants and a children’s playground by the beach, Duncannon is a lovely place for a quiet seaside holiday. Catch a ferry to the beaches and watersports of Dunmore East, shop for traditional crystal in Waterford, enjoy the music of Wexford Festival Opera each October or explore some of the historic houses, beautiful gardens and lovely walks in this wonderful part of Ireland. With activities like fishing, golf and horseriding all within easy reach this is a perfect location for a family holiday.

The cottage is spotlessly clean, very comfortable with everything we need. It is located in a very quiet area close to a working farm. There are many lovely beaches nearby. Shops, restaurants & Church also close by. Joan, our host, is a lovely lady. She goes above & beyond to ensure you have a pleasant stay. She leaves a lovely welcome pack of tea, sugar, milk, cake & biscuits. The Cottage is an ideal location for those looking for a nice peaceful rest away from the hustle & bustle of a busy life. We are already booked for next year!
