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.

Six of you, one door,
no corridor
A wedding at Seafield is a long, happy day, and hotel rooms on a wedding weekend can go quickly. If your party is six (parents with grown-up children, three couples, or friends who always travel together) a whole house may suit you better than three rooms along a corridor. Lazy Acre is a restored cottage outside Camolin, about 20 minutes inland from Ballymoney. Dress with space to spare, come back to your own front door, and let the morning after unfold at its own pace. Lazy Acre is independent of Seafield Hotel; we are simply a short drive away.
Before and after
What counts on a wedding weekend
Wedding guests need a few things done well: somewhere to press an outfit, enough hot water for six showers in one afternoon, a bed that makes up for a two o'clock finish, and a kitchen for a late, lazy breakfast. The house was restored with exactly those in mind.

Inland from Ballymoney,
a short drive to the coast
Seafield Hotel & Spa Resort sits on the coast at Ballymoney, east of Gorey. From the cottage near Camolin, the usual route is the R772 north to join the M11, past Gorey to the Courtown exit (Junction 23), then country roads north-east to the hotel gates: roughly 21 km. Gorey, whose station is on the Dublin–Rosslare line, is on the way for anyone arriving by train.
- Seafield Hotel, Ballymoney 20 min
- Ballymoney beach 20 min
- Gorey town centre 15 min
- Gorey train station 15 min
- Dublin city centre 1h 30min via M11
- Dublin Airport 1h 30min via M11
- Rosslare Europort 1 hour
Book direct
Book the nights around the wedding directly with Beryl, who owns the cottage. The two-night minimum fits a Friday arrival and a Sunday checkout, and if you need to arrive earlier or leave later, ask when you book: it can usually be arranged.
Seafield wedding guests ask
About 20 minutes by car, roughly 21 km. Take the R772 north from Camolin onto the M11, leave at the Courtown exit (Junction 23) and follow the country roads to Ballymoney. Leave a little extra time on the day. Lazy Acre is independent of Seafield Hotel & Spa Resort; we are simply a short drive away.
Book a taxi both ways well in advance. Irish weddings typically run from dinner around six to a band at half nine and a DJ until about two, so agree a pick-up time with the driver. Several Gorey-based taxi and minibus firms serve Ballymoney and list wedding venues among their runs, and they recommend booking ahead. We don't arrange transport ourselves.
Check-in is from 5pm, and many ceremonies start in the early afternoon, so most wedding guests arrive the evening before. If you need to come in earlier, ask when you book: earlier arrival can usually be arranged in advance. Self check-in is by lockbox, with access details sent once the balance and security deposit have been received.
Check-out is by 10am. Later departure can usually be arranged in advance, so mention it when you book. Many guests simply take the night after the wedding too. And ask the couple whether there is a day two: Seafield offers The Deck, overlooking Ballymoney, for next-day celebrations.
No. The cottage isn't available for parties or events, and only the guests named in the booking stay overnight. It is a quiet place for your group of up to six to sleep, get dressed and have breakfast, not a venue for a gathering before or after the wedding.
Ballymoney beach is right beside the hotel: two sandy strands split by rocks, with a Green Coast Award. Awards and summer lifeguard cover change from year to year, so check Wexford County Council for the latest before you swim. The Ballymoney Trail runs south to Seafield Beach, with rocky steps or a higher path. On fine days parking fills fast and stretches back to Ballymoney village, so go early.
Yes. Children are welcome with adult supervision, and the twin room suits siblings. The maximum is six people across three bedrooms, with a garden for letting off steam the next day and a kitchen for simple meals.
A 25% deposit confirms your 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.
Our standard cancellation terms apply. More than 60 days before arrival, payments are refunded less a €50 admin charge. From 31 to 60 days, the 25% deposit is non-refundable. Within 30 days, the booking is normally non-refundable, though if we re-let the dates we refund the amount recovered, less €50. We recommend travel insurance.
