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.

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
- Cosy Reading Corner
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
Bed & Bath
Where the standard shows
Comfortable mattresses and good bedding, an ensuite off the master, and luxurious towels provided in quantity — the details guests mention most.
- Master Ensuite
- Walk-In Shower
- Heated Towel Rails
- Luxurious Linen & Towels
Outside
The garden and the grounds
Private grounds with space all round, a patio made for long dinners, and fields beyond the hedge where horses graze.
- Private Garden
- BBQ & Outdoor Dining
- Free Parking (4 Spaces)
- Self Check-In (Lockbox)
The sea one way,
the hills the other
Lazy Acre sits in quiet countryside outside Gorey, well placed for the beaches and cliff walks of the south-east coast, with Carrig Rua’s woodlands just inland and the Rosslare ferry an easy run south.

- Sandy beaches & coast path a short drive
- Arklow 20 min
- Wexford town 35 min
- Rosslare Europort 45 min
- Dublin city centre 1h 20min via M11

Stayed 12 days
“We have stayed in numerous properties across Europe, and this gem was the best we have ever stayed in.”
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!

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.

Amazing brand-new cottage tucked away in a peaceful rural area near Camolin village. The cottage is newly built, featuring high-spec amenities and tasteful decor throughout. Beryl was a fantastic and responsive host, always kind and quick to help with any questions or issues. Highly recommended for couples or larger groups alike!

What a relief to arrive at our final accommodation in a month long tour around Ireland and find it above expectation! Beryl's place is modern, spacious, tastefully decorated, functional and oh SO clean! The setting is lovely…private and quiet, with grazing horses in the pasture next door. Idyllic ❤️ Tons of natural light with lots of windows that open and plenty of storage space with a separate laundry room (washer AND dryer) off the kitchen. Welcome goods included butter, milk, snacks and bubbly! Two modern shower rooms, (one is ensuite), both with excellent water pressure. Good towels and bed linens. I wish I could have taken the bed home with me…it was that comfortable. We found the location charming and very scenic. The location worked well for us to do day trips to Blessington, Kilkenny, Dun Laoghaire. Highly recommended 🤗

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! I can't recommend this place enough for a weekend getaway. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. It immediately felt like home as soon as we arrived. The kitchen was fantastic—fully equipped and perfect for cooking meals together. We also loved the beautiful backyard, which was great for relaxing and enjoying some fresh air. Beryl was incredibly friendly and super responsive whenever we reached out, making the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be visiting again! Thank you Beryl!

"Lazy Acre" is a rare gem, and I had the pleasure of being hosted by Beryl for 1 week. All expectations I had, based on the listing, were surpassed...and then some! Beryl was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Beryl made sure to give me lots of excellent recommendations for walks, trails, beaches, food, and lots more. Lazy Acre gave me the idyllic break I needed, full of privacy, tranquillity, peace and quiet. The house is in a stunning rural setting, nestled away with impeccably manicured front and back gardens. Inside is stunning, and Beryl's attention to detail shines through. The cleanliness was on par with a 5 star hotel, the space is open, bright and welcoming. The kitchen is a masterpiece, and kitted out with everything anyone could possibly need. I also appreciated the treats and essentials Beryl left for me. The bedrooms are plush with high quality bedding and towels, and the bathrooms are perfect. A 5 star review, for a 5 star host, and a 5 star home!!

We absolutely loved our stay! The place is incredibly calm, private and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. One of our favorite parts was the neighboring land with horses; it was such a joy to watch and interact with them. The house is spotless and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need, whether for a short trip or a longer stay. It truly feels like a home away from home. The beds are very comfortable, and the space is decorated in a warm, welcoming way. There's plenty of room to unpack, and everything is tidy and clutter-free. The kitchen was pristine and had all the essentials for cooking. The host, Beryl, was amazing, super responsive and attentive. Any time we had a question or needed something, he took care of it right away. He provided the essentials and kept them refilled throughout our stay. Overall, a wonderful experience. We felt so at home that we extended our stay. Highly recommend!
