About this property

Gorgeous spacious cottage in pretty garden setting in Sunny South East Ireland!

Located in a large, richly planted courtyard garden, Horseshoe Cottage has been transformed from its previous life as farm stables to become a bright, spacious 2-bedroom cottage with traditional features while providing all the comforts and luxuries needed for a calm relaxed holiday in a friendly atmosphere.
The cheerful yellow front door sets the tone for this uplifting country cottage, with its bright hallway from where the en-suite Master Bedroom is on the left and the family Bathroom and Twin Bedroom are to the right. A glazed door from the front hall leads into the especially spacious split-level living area.
With high beamed ceilings and painted stone walls, the living room is flooded with light from Velux windows. The kitchen has all electric appliances including electric hob/fan oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, electric kettle, toaster, coffee maker, blender, iron and ironing board. The kitchen has lots of pots, pans, utensils as well as crockery, cutlery, tea towels, kitchen roll etc. An adjacent dining table has 4 chairs and a door from the kitchen opens into an enclosed private sunny patio with table and chairs, parasol and BBQ.
Separated from the kitchen by a feature internal chimney and at a slightly higher level, the comfortable lounge has a couch, 2 easy chairs and a wood burner and a well-stocked book-case, and the large flat screen TV has Irish, UK and international channels.
The Master Bedroom has a 5 ft bed, wardrobe and drawers, and it has an en-suite shower and WC.
Bedroom 2 has twin beds, wardrobe and a desk with chair and it is located beside the family bathroom which has bath/shower and WC.
The farm is in a quiet, tranquil location, away from it all, yet close to so many amenities and beauty spots!

Our week in Wextord
The property was perfect and had everything in it that we needed. It is in a great location and places like Hook Head, Tramore, Dunmore East, Kilmore Quay, Wexford, New Ross are a relatively short drive away. There are some excellent places to eat nearby such as The Hollow, Kehoes in Kilmore Quay, The Strand in Duncannon. We also got excellent takeaway from the Very Well Cafe in Ramsgrange. I would 100% recommend this property as a place to stay.

What wonderful find this place was!!
We could not have been happier! What a lovely place in the country with so much charm and ambience. And a great location to jump off to so many charming adventures. You MUST go to the JFK Homestead. Mary Murphy gave us the BEST experience there. Also go to Hook Lighthouse - beautiful area. Another must is Coventry Stores - a pub in Wexford. Visit on a Sunday at noon to enjoy local musicians playing Irish music while you have your lunch! Patricia and Roger, thank you for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay, One of the highlights of our trip!!

Great hosting in beautiful area
Really spacious and lovely historical building converted into a holiday cottage. Patricia & Roger are perfect hosts and extremely welcoming and responsive. They provide you with lots of helpful local information. The respond quickly when contacted with any requests or issues. Unfortunately, we found the bed in the main bedroom very hard and struggled to sleep well. We had a problem with water temperature in the shower but Roger came and sorted that out. But the water pressure isn’t great. Overall we had a lovely holiday but it was unfortunate about the bed.

Cottage in Wonderland
'Horseshoe Cottage' is one of four restored dwellings on the Warren Family farm in Whitechurch, Co, Wexford. A little off the main roads, it oozes charm and comfort. The cottage is exceptionally well equipped, modern and warm. Patricia is a superb hostess- a personal welcome, fresh roses on the table, tea tray ready. TV, Wi-Fi etc. Full bookshelf and many board games. Sunny patio with bbq and a 'Miss Marple'garden. Well worth a visit.

About the host

Hosted by Roger et Patricia Knight

Host profile image
Roger and Patricia live in the main farmhouse, close to the cottages, where Patricia's family has lived and farmed for many generations. We are on hand to chat with guests and help with questions and information.

Why they chose this property

The five stone built cottages at Warren Farm were originally stables, the farm's dairy, granary for corn storage and farm coach house with various other uses over their long and colourful lives. Four cottages have access to the richly planted courtyard garden, while detached Granary Cottage has its own large garden and separate entrance. Each cottage has been converted and re-incarnated into cosy cottages by Roger and Patricia over the past 20 years, with each cottage having its own distinct character and space.

What makes this property unique

Each cottage has its own special features, be it natural stone walls or beamed ceilings, one has a traditional half door, another has a canopied bed and several have wood burning stoves. Each cottage has a private garden area and four are located within a large richly planted garden with lovely views of the Barrow valley, while detached Granary Cottage is set in its own large garden.
