  • "Really good cottage ( and we have stayed in a lot) ."

    . The facilities and maintenance of them are very good and make for a comfortable and cosy stay. There is an excellent central heating system plus a log burner. The owner ( Caroline and husband Trevor) are willing to share time and local knowledge if you request anything or to leave you alone to explore. The location is ideal for travelling to lots of places of interest that are within reach of an hours drive in any direction.

    We really appreciated the coal and firewood and made use of these. The furniture was in good condition and there was plenty of storage. The kitchen was good and had everything we needed. The coffee machine was good to have. It was also good to have some books and games-I haven't seen Journey Through Europe since about 1987 so that brought back some good memories! The owner was on hand and was very friendly and helpful too.

The owners are always available if they are needed but do not intrude when they are not. I would be happy to recommend it to anyone.

  • "I cannot recommend staying at Rosemont Cottage highly enough."

    We found it wonderful! The cottage is very well appointed and its conversion from a farm outbuilding to a bungalow holiday cottage has been done really well. We could quite happily retire there! Caroline and her family are very friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. Although the cottage is attached to the working farm, we experienced no issue with noise whatsoever. We were left to go and come as we please, help was on hand if we needed it. If WiFi is important to you (which it was for us), the speed is fine. I was able to connect to my business IT infrastructure with no problems encountered. Another bonus was the free wood for the wood burner. As for location, perfect for exploring Wexford and further afield. All in all 10 out of 10. We are definitely going to re-book next year.

The friendly proprietor, Caroline, was the perfect host in that she was very easy to contact when needed but left us with complete privacy the rest of the time; and arriving late on our first night to find homemade scones on the table and a lit stove was just a lovely touch!

  • "The property was not up-to the usual high standards."

    We never saw owner eve though they said they’d pop Saturday night or Sunday. Upon opening door we were met with large amount of blue bottles and flies, we eventually found fly spray and my husband then spent an hour cleaning them up and the dirt etc o;top of kitchen units was disgusting, he removed 4 old Christmas cards. There were dead flies in main bedroom wardrobe. The settees had large rips in them which was covered in blankets and even the edges separated the wooden floors and tiles was lifted in areas. The heating was not as expected as even when husband put it on to dry clothing the radiator were only slightly warm. The scones that had been left was nice touch tho,

    I'm very sorry to hear this, I did try to drop in to say hi a few times but unfortunately you were out and about each time. It is a pity I didn't see you as I would have apologised and explained about the couch. The damage on the couch happened after one particular week of very hot weather, the sun shining in through the velux window seemed to have caused the leather to lift off. We ordered a new couch straight away, but were waiting on it to come into stock. New couch is now installed. In regard to the heating, it was set on the summer setting. We change it over to a lower setting during the summer as the house it very well insulated and can get too hot with any heating in the summer. But would have had no issue switching it over to the higher setting. In regard to your mention of blue bottles and sticky surface, the house is thoroughly cleaned after each stay and during changeover on the day of your arrival I don't have any recollection of a vast amount of flies. But I do apologize if you found otherwise. Property Owner

    You will need a car, but there is off road parking in a safe area. The family are onsite for any issues that arise and the lovely cakes and house tour at the start were a nice touch. It is a working farm, but to be honest it was very light farm traffic. Doris the donkey is on hand and likes a bit of fuss over the gate nearby the house. There is a pub down the road which has a lovely reasonable menu and welcoming vibe, even though the walk is a few hundred meters on a grass verge along side a fairly busy road. Overall the cottage was lovely, spacious enough to live and cosy enough to feel like a home. A log fire is on hand for winter nights, but there is oil heating as well if needed. Tescos is about 15 minute drive in Gorey and is a good size. It is about an hour and half from Dublin. Would suggest to use the Carrickmines Park and Ride tram if going for a day out, takes the stress away from driving in central Dublin! Roads are quiet in the South. We had a Ford Focus which was a good size for the roads. Enjoy!

    The owners went the extra mile to make our stay memorable, which started with a welcoming basket of fresh farm eggs, homebaked scones and tea. Wooden logs and household coal was offered to us for the solid fuel stove burner, but I had my own supply which was purchased for my stay at the previous cottage. Not wanting a repeat of my previous bad experience regarding the use of the oil fired central heating, I enquired about the usage and costs thereof, which surprised the owner as this is part of the accommodation package. I have only praise and admiration for the owners of this family run business.
