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.

Finish & comfort
Restored over two years, and finished properly
Not a rental fitted out to a budget. Every room was taken back and rebuilt with quality fittings, generous linen and the things you actually reach for — so the house feels considered rather than merely equipped.

Evenings
Around the fire
The heart of the house: a wood-burning stove, deep sofas and the kind of quiet you only get this far from a main road.
- Wood-Burning Stove
- Smart TV (45")
- Books & Board Games

The Kitchen
Properly equipped
A bigger kitchen than the photographs suggest, well enough equipped that cooking here is a pleasure rather than a compromise.
- Fully Equipped Kitchen
- Dishwasher
- Nespresso Machine
- Breakfast Nook

Finished like a good hotel
Two bathrooms in large-format stone tile, with a walk-in rainfall shower, a backlit mirror and excellent water pressure. Heated rails mean the towels are warm when you get out.

Common questions

The October Fireside Escape package is available for stays of three nights or more. The cottage’s standard minimum stay is two nights; the October package extras apply from three nights.
Six, across three bedrooms, with two bathrooms including an ensuite off the master.
All utilities — electricity, heating and water — along with 1Gbps fibre broadband, towels and linen, and the whole house to yourselves. Weekly cleaning is available on longer stays. A €300 refundable security deposit applies to direct bookings.
Yes. All direct bookings are covered by our Lazy Acre Cottage Booking Terms & Conditions. Your booking is confirmed once we have received your acceptance of the terms and the 25% booking deposit.
A 25% deposit confirms your booking. The remaining balance is due 30 days before arrival. Bookings made within 30 days of arrival are payable in full at the time of booking.
Yes, but it is pre-authorised rather than charged. Shortly before arrival we place a €300 hold on your card — the money stays in your account, and nothing is taken. The hold is released after departure, once the cottage has been checked. It is separate from your accommodation payment.
More than 60 days before arrival, payments are refunded less a €50 administration charge. From 31 to 60 days before arrival, the 25% booking deposit is non-refundable, though any other payments already made are refunded. Within 30 days of arrival, the accommodation cost is normally non-refundable. If we are able to re-let cancelled dates, we refund the amount recovered, less a €50 administration charge — and we recommend travel insurance to cover the unexpected. Full cancellation terms are provided before you confirm your booking.
Check-in is from 5pm and check-out is by 10am. Earlier arrival or later departure can usually be arranged in advance. Self check-in with a lockbox, so there is no one to wait for — we send the access details shortly before you arrive, once the balance and security deposit have been received.
The cottage is strictly non-smoking and non-vaping indoors, and it isn't available for parties or events. Only the guests named in the booking may stay overnight, and children are very welcome with adult supervision.
Yes, free private parking for up to four cars.
We don't normally accept pets — they are only possible where specifically agreed in writing before booking.
About twenty minutes east towards the coast, where there are several sandy beaches and the cliff path.
Yes. Stays of a week, a month or longer are very welcome and can be booked online, and weekly cleaning is available on longer stays.
