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.

How a self-catering
day here tends to go
Most groups do one big shop in Gorey on the way in, then let the house take over. Mornings start with the Nespresso and the breakfast nook while the early risers take their coffee out to the patio. Someone nips into Camolin for fish and a bottle of wine; the rest head for the beach or up Carrig Rua. Dinner is whatever you feel like: the BBQ lit and the table set outside on a warm evening, or a pot on the cooker and the stove going when the weather turns. The dishwasher handles the aftermath, and nobody has to be anywhere for breakfast.
The working house
What's in the kitchen, and what else you'll use
Self-catering stands or falls on the kitchen and the practical rooms around it. Here is exactly what is in the house, so you know what to pack and what to buy when you get here, and nothing you plan a meal around turns out to be missing.

Book direct
Pick your dates online and the house is yours from 5pm on arrival day. Booking direct means no platform fees and a straight line to Beryl, who knows where to find good food locally and is glad to share it before you do the big shop.
Self-catering questions
Gorey, about fifteen minutes' drive, has the five big chains: Pettitt's SuperValu on Main Street (with its own in-store bakery), Tesco Extra at Ramstown, Lidl and Aldi at Gorey Bridge, and Dunnes Stores in the Gorey Shopping Centre. Pettitt's SuperValu also takes orders online if you would rather not push a trolley on arrival day.
The kitchen has a cooker, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, air fryer, toaster, kettle and a Nespresso machine with pods, plus crockery, cutlery and wine glasses. Bed linen, towels, toiletries and cleaning products are provided too. Bring your food, and any particular gadget your cooking depends on.
Check-in is from 5pm, by lockbox, and the access details are sent shortly before arrival once the balance and security deposit have been received. Most guests shop in Gorey on the way and arrive with it. If you need to get in earlier, ask when you book: earlier arrival can usually be arranged in advance.
J. Caxard on Camolin's Main Street is a fishmonger and wine specialist sourcing fish from harbours on the south and east coasts. It opens Tuesday to Saturday and is closed Sunday and Monday, so plan fish nights around that. There is also a local butcher people drive miles for, and Gorey's farmers' market runs every Saturday, 8am to 1pm, in the Gorey Community School car park.
Polytunnels now stretch the Wexford season from May into October, with summer the peak. The roadside strawberry huts usually appear around the May bank holiday weekend and stay out through the summer, so a punnet for the table is easy to pick up on a drive.
It sleeps six across three bedrooms: a king with an ensuite, a double with a garden view and a twin room, with a separate shower room. There is parking for four cars and an outdoor table that seats all six. Children are welcome with adult supervision. The house is not available for parties or events, and only the guests named in the booking stay overnight.
A washing machine and a separate tumble dryer are in the utility room, with an iron and ironing board. Weekly cleaning is available on longer stays, and stays of a month or more are possible: email beryl@lazyacre.ie to arrange it.
A 25% deposit confirms the booking and the balance is due 30 days before arrival; bookings made inside 30 days 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.
