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.

Play the morning,
cook the evening
A golf trip based in a hotel means six rooms along a corridor and dinner at a fixed hour. From a house it runs differently. Play Ballymoney or Courtown in the morning, be back by mid-afternoon, and put the soaked waterproofs through the tumble dryer while someone lights the stove. Scorecards get settled around one dining table, the steaks go on the patio grill, and nobody has to drive anywhere afterwards. Next morning there is no breakfast sitting to make, only the coffee machine and whichever course you booked for the day.
For the golf group
What matters after eighteen holes
Golfers ask the same four things: who shares a room, where the wet kit goes, what happens about dinner, and whether there's somewhere to sit down properly afterwards. Here is the straight answer to each, in the order groups usually ask.

Sleeping six
Who shares, stated plainly
The master has a king bed and its own ensuite. The second bedroom has a double and looks onto the garden. The twin room has two single beds. Four friends get a bed each; a full six works best as couples or close friends.

- Double Room, Garden View
- Twin Room, Two Singles
- Hotel-Grade Mattresses
Kit & laundry
Wet waterproofs, dry by morning
A utility room of its own, with a washing machine and a separate tumble dryer, so soaked rain gear and socks are dry before the next tee time. An iron and a small ironing board take care of the clubhouse shirt.

Questions golfers ask
Ballymoney Golf Club and Courtown Golf Club, both about 20 minutes. Ballymoney is a family-run 18-hole parkland course with views of Tara Hill. Courtown, founded in 1936, is mature tree-lined parkland near Courtown, par 71. Both take visitor bookings online. Enniscorthy (25 min) is an Eddie Hackett parkland; Bunclody (30 min) runs along the River Slaney and has a lift up to its 18th tee.
Yes. Arklow Golf Links, about 30 minutes north, is a traditional seaside links laid out by Hawtree and Taylor in 1927, all sandhills, marram and gorse. Rosslare, about an hour south, is an 18-hole links founded in 1905 on a sandy spit between Wexford Harbour and the sea, with a 12-hole Burrow course for a shorter round. The former European Club at Brittas Bay is closed for a redesign, due to reopen in 2027.
No. The Seafield course at Ballymoney ceased operating in February 2017. If you want to play in Ballymoney itself, Ballymoney Golf Club is about 20 minutes from the cottage.
Inside. There is room in the house to store golf bags, so nothing has to stay in the car overnight, and the utility room takes wet shoes and waterproofs.
Check-in is from 5pm, so a round on the drive down works well: Arklow and Woodenbridge are both just off the route from Dublin. Check-out is by 10am, so on the last morning, pack the car the night before and go straight to the course; Ballymoney and Courtown are about 20 minutes away. Earlier arrival or later departure can usually be arranged in advance.
Not quite, and it's better to know now. The three bedrooms have a king bed (with the ensuite), a double and a twin with two singles. Four golfers get a bed each. Six suits couples, or friends happy to share the king and the double.
Please don't. The cottage isn't available for parties or events, and only the guests named in the booking stay overnight, up to a maximum of six. It is strictly non-smoking and non-vaping indoors.
A 25% deposit confirms the booking and the balance is due 30 days before arrival; bookings made within 30 days are paid in full. A €300 security deposit is pre-authorised as a hold on your card, not charged, and released after departure once the cottage has been checked.
