The Barn

These two charming properties stand just 10 minutes’ walk from the sea, on the beautiful Hook peninsula in County Wexford, Ireland’s sunniest county. Set round a courtyard along with the owners’ house, they have been carefully converted from traditional 18th-century, stone farm buildings, retaining their old beams and stonework, with tiled or wooden floors, and extensions to create spacious, high quality accommodation. The Barn enjoys its own private garden, and both properties share the central courtyard with garden seating. A separate laundry room provides facilities for washing and drying clothes and equipment after the day’s adventures. The Wexford coastal path runs close by and horse riding, fishing, scuba diving or relaxing can be enjoyed along the sands. Friendly Fethard-on-sea offers restaurants, entertainments and sporting activities, all within walking distance, and the immediate area offers wonderful scenery, gardens, crafts, bird-watching and horse riding, as well as excellent scuba diving, canoeing and windsurfing in some of Europe’s clearest waters. There is also a playground in the village. The area offers many historic sites including Tintern Abbey, Dunbrody Abbey, Duncannon Fort, Fethard Castle and the magnificent Hook Light House. There are sandy coves, sea and river fishing, good restaurants and welcoming pubs. Hotel, restaurant and shop ¼ mile.
