Located in the south-western part of beautiful County Wexford, the village of Fethard-on-Sea may be found tucked away to the east of the Hook Peninsula. The lifeboat disaster that occurred in Fethard-on-Sea in 1914 and the subsequent Fethard-on-Sea Boycott are both iconic moments in the town's history that have been memorialised in literature and film. Fethard, now a sleepy fishing and vacation town, is a pleasant place to set up camp and explore the area's sandy beaches, charming shops, and lively pubs. The old lighthouse and the several beaches on the Hook Peninsula continue to draw visitors. There are enough beaches on the Peninsula to keep you busy for two weeks, and you can also enjoy scuba diving, snorkelling, and shore fishing, as well as other arts and crafts, like painting, or even birdwatching. Tintern Abbey, with its walled garden, guided tour, and forest walk; Dunbrody and Graiguenamanagh, two mediaeval abbeys; the star-shaped Elizabethan Fort at Duncannon, which houses a military and maritime museum; and The Cockleshell Art Gallery are just a few of the fascinating historical sites in the area. The JFK Arboretum and the Dunbrody Famine Ship are only two of the attractions in New Ross; in the west, Waterford is home to Waterford Castle and Waterford Crystal, while in the east, Wexford is home to the Wexford Opera House, Johnstown Castle, and The Heritage Park.

    The house was extremely comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Ideally situated for visits to all the high spots of the area, it was an ideal base for the beautiful beaches, the Ring of Hook tour and all the historical points on the Norman Way. We had some scrumptious dinners in local restaurants, (many are dog-friendly), and at least as many cooked in the Hook Head kitchen. Every intention to return.

    Mary was such a great host and even got our children colouring books for when we arrived. The house was perfectly equipped, clean, and exactly as described. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Mary!!!

  • Linda

    What a fabulous house, everything you could imagine needing was provided. The house was spotless, comfortable and very homely. It is in an excellent location, if you like a quiet, tranquil setting, and close to a range of places to visit including Hook Head Lighthouse, JFK Arboretum, and Tintern Abbey. Not to mention fabulous beaches. A great find and already planning to return.
