This house is a lovely comfortable place to stay. The house was spotless and is in a great location . So central and everything is in walking distance . We really enjoyed our stay and will book again. Brian was so nice and thought of everything .
Sehr bequem
The property is well located in Wexford town, and contains everything you might need. Everything is well labelled, and Brian was quite attentive and accommodating about helping us with our stay. If you want somewhere convenient to spend the night in Wexford I would recommend.
Good location. Loads of towels and bottled water.
Everything
The front door key is a bit sticky but that's it
Within walking distance to Tesco and town centre shops.
All okay
The house is just a short walk from the town centre with Tesco right across the street.
The heat but nothing anyone can do about that.
Good location, quiet house.
Things too high for short people!! Bedside tables and lamps would be good.
The House had everything we needed.Super large secure garden for our dog .We used Tesco car Park to leave the car. No issues.We had super breakfast at Sinnotts pub very close with outdoor dining and parking . Recommend..
Nothing
Easy check in Really clear where everything was Convenient location
Very clean very comfortable everything to hand very good
We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Wexford. I can tell the owner of this lovely house is a patient and generous person by he prepares so many clean towls and bottle water for the customers , also this place is extremely clean with a lovely smell ! the location is the heart of the town , you can go anywhere by walk ! I’ll definitely stay here again if I come back to Wexford ❤️❤️

In a nice area
Just that the bathroom was down stairs from the bedrooms

The property was clean, cozy, and comfortable. It had a welcoming atmosphere and everything was well-maintained, which made the stay very enjoyable.
Nothing. Everything was great.
The house is immaculate and beautifully laid out. The location allows you to walk to everything you need.
Loved everything about this property

The house is really not comfortable and clean. The pictures say it all...
It was basic but convenient for the town.
More crockery and cutlery, a plug or washing up bowl, lack of a bedside table and light in one of the bedrooms. Glass shelving with tape all over it. Hand written instructions in pen on every surface. Recycling from previous tenants left in kitchen and in lounge. Dirty microwave. I was not expecting 5 star but this is not good.
Great information on how things worked. Great location and quiet.
No washer/dryer but laundrette was close by.
Location for the ferry
Main rd noise
Very clean and location and host very kind
Nothing it was perfect
Quirky home, great location and ideal for us traveling with our pet dog. Brian our host was fab and great communication
The location of the house to the town is fantastic. It is a well-equipped facility with everything you could need. Nice little back garden area too. Parking was not an issue - either on street with payment or at local shop.

Clean location very good and very easy to use everything
Beautiful spot. The house was so clean and beautifully laid out. There were notes written across the house from the hosts and it was a very sweet touch.
Great location
Quirky messages!
Nothing
Great location easy to get around
Stayed with 2 dogs and had a lovely secure garden.
Location is great, just a couple of minutes from one end of the main street. Very close to Tesco. Parking is available at a price in the church grounds behind the property. Lots of useful information written on the walls inside.
The toilet is only on the ground floor. Steep stairs to the bedrooms. Not suitable for physically impaired people.
This is not my first time in this apartment. Amazing. Super recommend.
Very clear labelling of everything in the property saved a lot of time on arrival.
Amazing location, just off the Main Street. Such a cute property with really cute quotes dotted around the house. Really quirky feel to the place. Brian is a super host too....great communication.
Very warm, clean and comfortable. The heating is excellent. Surprisingly quiet for an on-street house. Very central to the town. Parking in the church behind the house is very convenient. Overall the house was well laid out very well equipped. The garden is lovely. Quite a bonus in a town house. Having a supermarket across the road is vey handy.
Maybe provide a few more saucepans, put a proper glass base in the microwave so that it rotates. Those bifold cupboard doors in the kitchen are a challenge unless you have three hands.
This little hidden gem in Wexford town is without a doubt the best place you could ask for if you’re looking for the following criteria; Self check in; We did not see one human, it was great. Cleanliness; The place was spotlessly clean, perfect. Comfort; The bed was comfy with clean, fresh, comfortable bedding. Instructions; This place had everything you needed to know covered with little bits of information dotted around the house and one or two inspirational quotes too, nice touch. Affordable; The price was very competitive, however, I would suggest putting an option for 2 people sharing, as there’s only options for 1 person or 4, we only used one bedroom like one person would but I paid for the 4 people sharing as I felt paying for one person would have been immoral, so I paid the 4 person rate. The space; There’s lots of space for two people, even four, it’s a nice homey place if you want to escape your own reality for a night or if you need somewhere to stay for more than one night. Overall, I can see myself staying here again soon, thank you
Perfect location, lovely house with everything we needed. Very clean& tidy
Proximity to town centre
Good location
Very compact bedrooms
Great spot in a central location, super clean and all the facilities you would need. Much better than staying in a hotel! Handy parking around the corner.
Everything!😁Brian was extremely helpful. The location was amazing making our stay so easy & enjoyable!Wonderful vibe on your doorstep & a few steps from all the essentials & fun spotsWe will be back, thank you 😁
Location is excellent, a few minutes walk into the town. House had everything we needed. Very clean and well organised. Parking is across the road, at shopping center. Back garden, perfect for us and our dog.
No parking outside the premises.
Fantastic host , this house is great and had everything we needed. I giggled at the little notes everywhere however they were very useful and a great idea, other hosts take note !! I am asthmatic and triggered a lot by dust but had no problems here as it is absolutely immaculate. Perfect place to stay for the ferry too.
That we were literally only there 14 hours, I would have loved to have had breakfast on the patio .
Convenient location for the town centre with parking in the Tesco Superstore across the road..... although I am not sure it is approved by Tesco! Comfortable and clean accomodation. Quirky instructions hand written in marker pen everywhere you looked.
Mattress was on the thin side......Ok for a couple of nights.
Our second stay at number 78. Love all the instructions how to work everything. A great little bolt hole in the town, so close to everything. Great communication from the owner. Highly recommend
Would prefer a curtain in the front room rather than the screen and the bed is a little noisy but thats splitting hairs if im pushed to say anything negative about the place. Will definitely be staying again
One of the most well equipped house stays ever! Brian has really thought of everything. We really enjoyed the spacious garden during the balmy weather and garden furniture. A very central location, but you would never think you were located in the town centre as it is such a quiet area. We were able to park and charge our car across the road in the Tesco express. I would highly recommend 78!
A proper set of curtains/ blinds for the front bedroom window was the only fault.
Everything was lovely and spotless. The communication from the owner was very good.
The stairs are a bit awkward but manageable. It would be nice to have a little shelf /bedside table in the bedroom at the back of the house. There was nowhere to put my water and phone
Location & Cleanliness. Plus very helpful & quick response to queries. Everything provided in house & all instructions needed. Definitely visit again.
No outside house parking
The property was very clean, comfortable , well equipped, easy to access and has a great location. Felt very homely. Very grateful that it was available to us.
This place is very central. It's a proper 'house' with everything you need. The garden is an added bonus
It was clean and in a very good location.
Unfortunately writing on everything to explain how to use something is a bit degrading. What he might consider is writing it in a book.
Brian has setup this apartment very nicely. Clear instructions on everything. He let us have an early check in and was very responsive.
Nothing!
The cleanliness and instructions for everything. Location was superb for us.
Everything was very good. Just found the bedroom a little stuffy (the back room)
Clean near centre of town
Everything the small details showing where everything was lovely place locatation brilliant 10 out of 10
Clean and friendly, good location and just a nice cozy home
Excellent location
The place was clean i felt very much at home and it was a short walk to some really nice pubs and tessco was a short walk also
.
This apartment was perfectly located, a short walk to Tesco for supplies, and easily wandering distance for photograph taking. There were LOTS of written instructions all over the apartment, which were helpful, but somewhat amusing. It was perfectly clean, and spacious enough for 3 of us. We had a great stay here.
We couldn't figure out how to get hot water into the kitchen sink, so we boiled the jug for dishes. This seems to be something that people from other countries struggle with - it's happened in all our stays. Obviously, a button to push, a cord to pull, that we're unaware of?
Very central location and great enclosed back garden. Very clean and well kept accommodation with all you need. Highly recommended
It is a great property but just to be aware the property is on a short path with a road right in front. Small hall when you walk in but good to be aware of if travelling with kids or pets. Also, my advice is plan parking in advance but there are spots and parking around. Minor things for a good central property
Clean comfortable and near to bars restaurants great safe enclosed garden would definitely stay again
Nothing
The flat it’s complete with everything you need. The kitchen it’s very nice. So cosy and clean place with garden. I highly recommend.
Clean, great location, all the helpful notes and fast communication with the owner
Everything was great. Easy to get in to check in. The house was spotless and in a great location near enough to Main Street and opera house to walk but far enough that is was not noisy.
Very clean and well equipped. Easy instructions for using things. Although it was just a stop over during travelling by ferries so we didn’t actually use anything. We phoned owner on how to turn heating on and he was very helpful and easy to reach if you needed anything.
Outside key box was a bit tricky to open, in the dark.
This is a lovely little property, with all you would need for a short visit to Wexford town, parking is available approximately 300 m away from the property. The host was quick to respond to any queries we may have had. This is a cosy and comfortable place to stay, we were two adults staying.
Clean, tidy and beds comfortable. Good location.
Everything was good. Only minor issues would be that the iron needs replacing and the sofa to be a bit more comfortable but like I say, only minor issues.
Location was great - very handy for Rosslare port and parking was around the corner or over the road as per the description. Kitchen was large for the size of the property but not particularly well stocked with utensils for 4 people. There were some odd glasses, 4 large plates, some odd mugs in various places, a frying pan and 1 saucepan (I think!) plus a couple of pots/dishes. Fine for us as we were only staying 1 night but could have done with more if we were staying longer. Communication with the owner was great, particularly as we booked quite last minute and access to the property was easy, as per the instructions received.
There were only 2 comfy chairs to sit on in the lounge and as we were 4 adults, 2 of us had to either sit on the floor with cushions that we found or on the small triangular chairs from the table which were really not easy to sit comfortably on. Instructions are literally written in marker pen all around the property on the walls, units etc which was very bizarre... Whilst I understand the need to communicate how to use things, a typed notice attached to the units etc would be a little less basic than marker pen!! The spare pillows had hair bits all over them and there were splashes of something (mud?) on the lower kitchen units. There was opened milk left in the fridge (not sure if we were supposed to use that...?), a bit of coffee and some odd tea bags but would have been nice to have some sugar and for it not to have looked like leftovers...!
Really great little place, cosy & so well equipped, clean & organised. Would definitely stay here again. Host easily accessible when needed. Good value for money.
Road noise in front bedroom. Missing a coffee machine, but instant & Tea available, great kitchen
The property was In a great location and quiet
The property was like a hone away from home and had all the amenities we needed
Everything you needed, quiet even though the road was quite busy, excellent location, host helpful, dog proof garden.
clean and comfortable and in the right location
Brain was very helpful helpfull. We had a good sleep good location.
Location was fantastic, close to the main street with excellent bars & restaurants right at the end of the street
