What our guests say
We have stayed in numerous properties across Europe, and this gem was the best we have ever stayed in.
Paul & Liz · Stayed 12 days · 2026
We stayed at Lazy Acre for 12 days in June. The photos on the website give an idea of what the property is like, but don't fully show the size of the property and the facilities provided. It has everything you could want for a relaxing stay. Three large bedrooms with comfortable mattresses and bedding. The master has a lovely ensuite, and a separate main bathroom with shower sits in the hallway by the other two rooms. Luxurious towels were provided in good quantity. The kitchen was larger than expected and well equipped, with a dishwasher, built-in microwave and everything you need, plus a nice Nespresso machine and pods. The utility room has a separate washing machine and tumble drier, all easy to use. A comfortable living area with a large smart TV and log-burning fire. The property is set in large private grounds with plenty of space all round, with a BBQ and seating area overlooking nearby fields where horses were roaming during our stay. In summary, a very well equipped and thought-out property with a good-quality finish and furnishings. Centrally located to explore the south-east coast of Ireland, and a 45-minute drive from Rosslare ferry port. We will definitely look to stay here again.

Had a wonderful 2 days in Beryl's place. The house is even nicer than the pictures which is very impressive. It's incredibly clean and so comfortable. The surrounding areas are beautiful too. We will definitely be back!

An absolute gem. Beryl's cottage is simply stunning. Pristine interior, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you'd need and more. The cottage setting is private and peaceful. Would highly recommend and we'll definitely be back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Lazy Acres. An idyllic oasis near Ferns, Gorey & Arklow. Amazing day trips to Glendalough, Avoca, Avondale, Arklow & beyond. The perfect spot to relax in a large clean modern home on your way to or from Dublin. The beds were better than most four star hotels. Impressive comfortable pillows. Bathrooms & showers were excellent. Plenty of parking for 2+ vehicles. An abundance of coffee pods, shower gels, shampoos & conditioners. Beryl even supplied cookies.

Outside the town,
not out of reach
Lazy Acre is not in Gorey, and we would rather say so plainly. It sits in farmland near Camolin, a quarter of an hour south-west of Main Street, where the loudest thing after dark is the horses in the next field. That is the trade: you drive in for dinner, a show or the Saturday market, and come home to a whole house rather than a room. For a family, or two couples sharing, that means three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garden and nobody on the other side of the wall.
After a day in town
What a house gives you that a room in town can't
A night in Gorey is easy to find. What is harder is space for six people who want to spread out, cook breakfast when they like and sit up late without disturbing anyone. That is what the cottage is for.

Space
Three bedrooms, one front door
A king room with its own ensuite, a double looking onto the garden and a twin, with a main shower room as well. Six people get proper beds and nobody queues for the bathroom before a day out.

Back from Main Street
Dinner in town, then home to the wood-burning stove, a board game or a film on the smart TV. Open-plan living and dining means the whole group ends up in one room.

A short run
into Gorey
The cottage lies in open country near Camolin, south-west of Gorey. The road into town is the R772, the old N11, north through Clogh to Main Street in about 15 minutes. The M11 is close by for Dublin and the airport. Gorey station is on the Dublin–Rosslare line, and if you want the sea, the coast is just beyond the town.
- Gorey Main Street 15 min
- Gorey train station 15 min
- Ramsfort Wood, Gorey 20 min
- Arklow 25 min
- Dublin city centre 1h 30min via M11
- Dublin Airport 1h 30min via M11
Book direct
Whether it's a weekend in Gorey or a fortnight, book the cottage directly with Beryl, who owns it. There are no platform fees, and questions about the house or the town go to someone who lives locally.
Staying near Gorey: questions
No, and it is worth being clear about that. The cottage is in countryside near Camolin village, about 15 minutes' drive south-west of Gorey's Main Street along the R772, the old N11. You get quiet nights, a garden and parking at the door; the trade-off is that town is a short drive rather than a stroll.
Yes. Gorey station, open since 1863, is on the Dublin–Rosslare line, with direct trains to Dublin Connolly taking roughly two hours. There are several services each way on weekdays and fewer at weekends, and timetables change, so check Irish Rail before you travel. The station is about 15 minutes from the cottage by car or taxi.
Wexford Bus route 740 runs between Dublin Airport and Wexford, stopping on Gorey Main Street and in Camolin, so it passes close to the cottage. Check the Wexford Bus timetable for times. For a stay out here, a car is still the easiest way to get about.
Realistically, yes. The cottage is in the country, so dinner in town, the market or the theatre means a 15-minute drive or a taxi. If you plan a late night on Main Street, book the taxi home before you go out. There is free parking at the house for up to four cars, so two households can each bring their own.
Most of it is on Main Street. Table Forty One, at number 41, is listed in the Michelin Guide and opens Wednesday to Saturday evenings with a short menu that changes each week. The Bistro and Katie Daly's are on Main Street too, and Partridges is a café and fine food shop. We have no connection with any of them; opening days change, so book ahead for a weekend table.
Walk the woods at Ramsfort Park, fifteen minutes on foot from Main Street, on two easy waymarked loops. See a show at Gorey Little Theatre on Pearse Street, a 300-seat house with tribute nights and a pantomime each year. Look in at Pugin's Romanesque St Michael's Church, or the Harry Clarke glass in Christ Church. On Saturdays there is a farmers' market in the Gorey Community School car park, 8am to 1pm, and a free 5k parkrun in the town park.
Over the August bank holiday weekend, when the Gorey Market House Festival brings free music, a street market and family events to Main Street and the town park. It is a good weekend to be there, but if you want those dates, book well ahead.
Two nights, year round, and longer stays are welcome. Check-in is from 5pm and check-out by 10am, with self check-in by lockbox. Access details are sent shortly before arrival, once the balance and security deposit have been received. Earlier arrival or later departure can usually be arranged in advance.
A 25% deposit confirms the booking, and the balance is due 30 days before arrival. Bookings made within 30 days of arrival are paid in full. A €300 security deposit is pre-authorised as a hold on your card, not a charge, and released after departure once the cottage has been checked.
