“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

Otherwise we would have stayed on for the week .

“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.

“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!

“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.

The property

This delightful, terraced cottage is situated on the owners' working stud, cattle and sheep farm, 2 miles from Rathnure and 9 miles from Enniscorthy and New Ross, County Wexford.

Set on 300 acres of land, this Wexford cottage has lovely rural surroundings.

Children will love to see the spring lambs and foals on the farm, collect the eggs from the hens in the morning or make a visit to the owners' pet pot-belly pig who lives in the yard beside the cottage!

Tennis is available on site by arrangement with the owners, ideal for an afternoon of energetic fun.

Inside this Wexford cottage there is a cosy woodburner in the sitting room, and two lovely bedrooms, making it a cosy base for a family or small group of friends.

There are lovely mountain walks accessible from the door of this Wexford cottage, but if you're after a relaxing break, you can simply sit back and enjoy the sunshine from the comfort of the enclosed courtyard.
