Days here

Fireside evenings

Light the wood-burning stove, open something good and let the evening go slowly. There is a smart TV if you want it, and books and board games if you would rather not.

Coast and countryside

Sandy beaches and the cliff path lie a short drive east, with Carrig Rua’s woodland walks just inland. Gorey is ten minutes for supplies or dinner out.

Finished to the last detail

Two years of restoration shows in the details: a walk-in shower and heated towel rails, generous linen and towels, and furnishings chosen rather than bought in bulk.

A home that stays
with you

Welcome to Lazy Acre Cottage, a beautifully refurbished 3-bedroom retreat tucked away in the peaceful countryside of County Wexford. Lovingly restored over two years and finished to a standard you rarely find in self-catering, it blends elegance with real comfort. Sink into the sofa by the fire with a good book, enjoy slow mornings with coffee as the world stays still, or spend evenings under the stars in total tranquility.

The Space

Every detail considered

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.

  • Self Check-In (Lockbox)

The sea one way,
the hills the other

  • Sandy beaches & coast path a short drive
  • Arklow 20 min
  • Wexford town 35 min
