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.

Two nights, one wedding,
and no rushing
Most wedding weekends here run the same way. You let yourselves in after five on the Friday, unpack the good clothes and eat something simple at the kitchen table. On the day, the two bathrooms and the iron in the utility room keep six people moving, and a taxi booked weeks earlier collects you with time to spare for a one or two o'clock ceremony. Somewhere after midnight the same firm brings you back through quiet lanes. The next morning there is coffee, toast and the stove, and nobody knocking on the door.
Getting ready
What the wedding morning asks of a house
A wedding morning is mostly logistics: hot water for six, space to lay out the outfits, an iron that works, a mirror with decent light. These are the parts of the cottage that matter on the day, and the parts that matter the morning after.

Getting ready
Two bathrooms and good light
The ensuite has a walk-in rainfall shower and a backlit mirror; the main shower room takes the pressure off. Excellent water pressure, heated towel rails and a hairdryer, so the last person in is not the one who runs late.
- Master Ensuite
- Walk-In Rainfall Shower
- Backlit Mirror
- Hairdryer
Outfits
Room to lay everything out
Three separate bedrooms, so everyone has their own space to get dressed. The iron and a small ironing board live in the utility room, beside a washer and tumble dryer for any spill.

Seafield at Ballymoney and Wells House at Ballyedmond sit nearer the coast; the Riverside Park is on the Slaney in Enniscorthy.

Book direct
Book the whole house with Beryl, who owns it. Most wedding stays are the Friday and Saturday nights; if the couple are hosting a day two, add the Sunday. Pick your dates in the calendar to see what is free.
Wedding guests ask
Come the day before. Irish ceremonies usually start around one or two o'clock, which is why most guests book the night before plus the wedding night; the two-night minimum works out neatly. If you can only arrive on the day, earlier arrival can usually be arranged in advance, so ask Beryl when you book rather than on the morning.
Book a taxi before you travel, for both legs. The cottage is in the countryside, and taxis are in demand when a wedding finishes. At least one Gorey taxi and minibus firm works around the clock, covers Camolin and asks for bookings in advance. Uber also runs in Gorey, with larger Taxi XL cars and advance booking, though pickups can take longer than in a city.
Amber Springs and Marlfield House in Gorey are about fifteen minutes away, and Ashdown Park, Seafield at Ballymoney, Wells House and the Riverside Park in Enniscorthy about twenty. Clayton Whites in Wexford town is around 40 minutes. Lazy Acre is independent of all of these venues; we are simply close to them.
Yes. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms (the ensuite has a walk-in rainfall shower and a backlit mirror), a hairdryer, and an iron with a small ironing board in the utility room. Hair and make-up can come to the house on the morning, so let Beryl know when you book. Staggering showers by twenty minutes is usually all the planning it takes.
No. The cottage is not available for parties or events, and only the guests named in the booking stay overnight. It is a place for your group to sleep, get ready and recover in; the celebrating belongs at the venue.
On a two-night stay you check out by 10am on the morning after the wedding, with time for coffee and breakfast in the kitchen first. Later departure can usually be arranged in advance. If the couple are hosting a day two, the easiest answer is a third night, so nobody drives anywhere that morning.
Gorey has a station on the Dublin to Rosslare line, about fifteen minutes from the cottage by car. There is no walking route out to the house, so arrange a taxi from the station in advance, or have one of your group collect you.
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.
More than 60 days before arrival, payments are refunded less a €50 administration charge. From 31 to 60 days before arrival, the 25% deposit is non-refundable. Within 30 days of arrival, the accommodation cost is normally non-refundable, though if the dates are re-let we refund the amount recovered, less €50. We recommend travel insurance.
