Mrs Elliott October 2019

“Beautiful cottage, very quiet location, easy parking, spacious lounge and kitchen area, lovely big bed (sure it's a king not a double), feather pillows and duvet made all the difference.”

Amazing place to stay.

Mrs Torr August 2019

“Poor location instructions we couldn’t even find Rathnure on the GPS.”

The cottage although reasonably furnished was not comfortable. It smelt dank and musty especially when opening cupboards, we had to buy air freshener to make it at least liveable. Most of the crockery was chipped and mismatched. Shower pressure abysmal. Had no contact with the owners even though they told us when we rang they would see us the following day. The key was left in the door. Although it was a working stud and there was alway people around we did not feel welcome. The good thing was we could keep warm, it was very quite location and a comfortable bed. We would not recommend

“The property was beautiful and just what we were looking for.”

The location was a little hard to find but once we did it was worth it. The owners were very nice and helpful in finding our way around. Very quiet and peaceful. Loved the dogs and the rooster crowing every morning made us feel like we were home.

“Booking through Sykes was an excellent experience, they were really helpful and very efficient.”

The cottage was in a great location, really peaceful, warm and cosy. It was well equipped including washing machine, WIFI, TV, lots of information on places to visit etc. The owners were lovely without being intrusive, would definitely stay again.

The owner needs to put an information pack together for guests, information to include correct WiFi log in details, how to switch on water heater, contact details for a taxi, doctor etc

“Traumhaft schön”

Die Ferienwohnung befindet sich in einem Nebengebäude von einem herrlichen Gutshof. Es ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die Besitzer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Alles in allem erholsame Ferien.

“A great place to stay, in a stunning setting”

My family and I spent a week here and loved it. The setting is just gorgeous and the cottage is beautiful and tidy. The hosts were accommodating and friendly and left us to our own devices. This is a lovely cottage and was very cosy, especially with the fire which was a real treat when we got there first and were confronted with some wet weather. The internet also was an unexpected surprise, though we enjoyed being off the grid for the most part. I really recommend a walk down the avenue if you get half the chance as it is a lovely walk and some of the trees there are so old and tall they would blow your mind. I definitely will be going back here next year as it is a lovely place, with a grand welcome. I highly recommend it to all and everyone, as a base for exploring the lovely county of Wexford it is just perfect.

“Very clean and neat but”

Very clean and comfortable accomodation, but the pillows on the main bed are well past their use by date and need immediate replacement. Everything worked and the Wifi reception was great.

Mrs McMullan July 2015

Miss Alexander March 2015

“An amazing unforgettable experience for my family staying at Rathnure Cottage.”

The owners were so friendly and welcoming, went beyond expected looking after us. Had the farm to explore and the kids were exhausted each night. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

- Miss Alexander, March 2015
Mr Rayner February 2015

“A beautiful cottage in fantastic surroundings.”

The wood burning stove in February added to the total charm and relaxation. We always felt the owners were there if we needed anything but never looking in at us. Loved it.

- Mr Rayner, February 2015
Mrs Doran April 2014

“This cottage is first class the family who own it are very friendly and helpful.”

Our two grandchildren had the time of their lives playing with their children and did not want to leave, they definitely want to go back. We have been twice ourselves and were just as impressed the second time as the first. Brilliant place!

- Mrs Doran, April 2014
Cathie-Lancashire February 2014

“Cosy cottage”

Lovely cosy cottage in a great setting. Everyone at the farm was extremely helpful. The owners made us welcome with a roaring fire awaiting our arrival on a very cold night. The weather during our stay wasn't great but it was lovely to come back to the cottage each evening. The cottage is very well equiped. It was great to feel part of the farm and its day to day activities. Our dog ad the time of his life too. We are booking again for summer!

- Cathie-Lancashire, February 2014
Mrs Donohoe November 2013

Mrs Ryan April 2013

“Everything about the holiday was fabulous.”

It was lovely to stay on the farm, our little 2.5 year old had great pleasure in walking around the farm on a daily morning basis before we went out for the day. He enjoyed the seeing the horses, sheep and lambs,and he got very excited seeing the quad bike, and tractors and trailers.

- Mrs Ryan, April 2013
Mrs Doran April 2013

“The owners were really helpful.”

There are no restrictions on where you can walk on this large property and plenty of chance to see the animals, new foals were born when we were there. This was the first time we had taken our dog but she loved it as did we. Will most surely return

- Mrs Doran, April 2013
Naibi October 2012

“This was a wonderful property in a beautiful, historical setting.”

The owner was friendly and helpful and we found numerous hikes in the area. The best Irish soda bread in a nearby village...we certainly would like to go there again!

- Naibi, October 2012
Mrs Reid September 2012

“A very special place with lots of activity, suited us as we enjoyed the rural setting, the history of the local area, walks and the many animals particularly the horses and Willow - the composting pig!”

- Mrs Reid, September 2012
Mr Finn September 2012

“The property is immaculate and so welcoming.”

It is set in the estate of a large house and it feels like being in a costume drama as you drive up the long drive and into the courtyard. The scenery is gentle and calming.

“Warm hospitality, very comfortable accommodation and a beautiful”

Rathnure Cottage is set in the grounds of Monksgrange, a working stud farm set in beautiful surroundings. We were met by Ben and Joyce who were extremely welcoming and helpful, and this was the case throughout the duration of our stay - there was someone always available in case of need, although we had no need to call on them as we had no problems. Caroline, who works with Ben and Joyce, got my laptop connected to the Wi-Fi within minutes, and also made herself available in case of any issues. The accommodation itself was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with everything we could need, including an endless supply of fuel for the wood-burning stove. We quickly made friends with the resident fauna, the 2 lovely dogs, the friendly pot-bellied pig, and the hens. We enjoyed walks in the grounds and several games of tennis during our stay, and the cottage is only around 20 minutes from Enniscorthy or 30 minutes from Wexford - an ideal spot to keep the whole family happy. We are delighted to have found a new base in Ireland and hope to return very soon.
