  • "Lovely house with views of the litte harbour."

    Stunning sea views from the living room. Comfortable beds with cozy duvets. Very good quality of bath towels. Welcome package (tea, bread, milk, chocolates) was much appreciated - thank you! The only thing we would suggest - new frying pans would be a good idea. Everything else was perfect and we would return to this cottage.

    Thank you Suzanne for taking the time to write such a positive and helpful reviewIt was heartwarming to hear that you were so happy with the house and to find it so neat and tidy when you left Property Owner

  • "Slade harbour and then especially SEASCAPE holiday home was a great place to stay in our first time in Ireland."

    The harbor and the view of the Atlantic ocean was impressive and of course the Hook lighthouse tower was great to visit as well. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was complete and the upstairs living room with view on the harbor and ocean was very enjoyable.The hosts were very helpful with clear instructions. We really enjoyed our stay very much. Jos and Nut Heijnsdijk

    Jos and Nut were very responsible guests who took great care of our house.They were lovely people who showed great appreciation and we would be delighted to recommend them to other hosts Property Owner

  • "We have just spent one of the most relaxing holidays in Ireland ever."

    One you get settled in the upstairs lounge, time just stops. The harbour life is ever changing , yet very little happens. It is most bizarre yet intriguing. I kept taking more and more photos and comparing them for the changes. The fishermen seem to work at a leisurely pace but the work seems to get effortly done. The house has everything you could need ( I even managed to do some baking !! ). The beds were super comfortable and the quilts were well matched to the weather. The surrounding area has lots to offer but with Slade been on a peninsular, every outing meant travelling the same roads every day, a small price to pay though. We thoroughly enjoyed our week away at Slade and would love to return again .

    Thank you very much ,Brian for your very generous review.We are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday in Seascape.You left the house in admirable condition and you were such pleasant house guests that we would love to see you returning.Many many thanks for being so kind to us Property Owner

  • "The cottage is in an absolutely stunning location."

    Very clean, everything you need and very homely. Fabulous harbour and stunning walk to The Hook Lighthouse which I a must visit. The local people were very friendly and chatty especially Ann next door who was lovely to us. We were lucky to experience Storme Agnes while we were there, what a treat to watch from the upstairs lounge area. We would love to return next year, one of the most relaxing holidays we’ve had. Many thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage. Peter & Marie

  • "We spent a week at Sea Scape in April."

    The house was lovely, lovely location overlooking the harbour. Only slight negatives were the garden wasn’t visible from the house so we felt we could just let the children out to play (although I’m sure they would’ve been perfectly fine), and the DVD player didn’t work when we wanted to let the kids watch a film on a rainy day. It would also benefit from some WiFi. However, Mary met us at the house with some fresh bread, local jam, a big cake and some Easter eggs for the children. She gave us a tour round and instructions to use all the appliances/heating etc which were really helpful. All the little extras by far outweighed the ‘negatives’. My husband caught a dozen small whiting in the harbour, the kids caught a couple of crabs, we had fun exploring the beach and local area, and found easy links to Waterford and nearby towns to visit some nearby attractions. We would definitely come back again!

About the location

FETHARD-ON-SEA, COUNTY WEXFORD

Duncannon 5.5 miles; New Ross 17 miles; Waterford 31.5 miles.

Fethard-on-Sea is a village nestling to the east of the Hook Peninsula, in the south-west of lovely County Wexford. Fethard-on-Sea has a colourful history, including the lifeboat tragedy of 1914, and the Fethard-on-Sea Boycott, which has been immortalised in print and on film. Now a quiet fishing and holiday village, Fethard makes a great base to enjoy sandy beaches, shops and pubs. The Hook Peninsula continues to attract visitors due to the ancient lighthouse and a multitude of beaches. There is a beach a day for a fortnight on the Peninsula, plus there are a variety of watersports, such as diving, snorkelling and shore angling, along with painting and birdwatching. There are many interesting historical sites to visit, such as Tintern Abbey with its walled garden, guided tour and forest walk and medieval abbeys in Dunbrody and Graiguenamanagh, plus the star shaped Elizabethan Fort at Duncannon houses a military and maritime museum, and The Cockleshell Art Gallery. Head up to New Ross and visit the JFK Arboretum or the Dunbrody Famine Ship, or travel over to Waterford in the west or Wexford in the east to take in all they have to offer, from the Wexford Opera House, Johnstown Castle and The Heritage Park to Waterford Castle and Waterford Crystal.
