"Fisherman's Cottage" - Coastal Retreat at Carne Beach with Private Garden.
Welcome to St Jude's, a truly unique retreat nestled on nearly an acre of private grounds, perfectly situated just behind the pristine sand dunes of the blue flag Carne Beach, with direct access to the long sandy beach!
Location Highlights: Just a leisurely stroll away lies Carne Pier, offering stunning views of the harbor throughout the day, whether accessed by beach or road.
Accommodation: Ideal for a couple or small family (maximum 2 adults and 2 children), this delightful cottage comfortably sleeps four. With two bedrooms, it features a spacious double bedroom upstairs alongside a cozy mezzanine with a sofa for daytime lounging. The downstairs twin bedroom comes with two single beds and an ensuite shower room, serving as the main bathroom for the home.
The main living area boasts a quaint wood-burning stove, creating a warm atmosphere for unwinding after a day of beach activities, picnicking, or coastal walks. Adjacent to the dining and kitchen area is a small reading room overlooking a walled garden—perfect for enjoying a coffee, a glass of wine, or a good book.
The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, ideal for leisurely meal preparations. A separate dining area with another wood-burning stove invites you to linger over meals.
Local Attractions: St Judes is located in the small village of Carne, near Rosslare Port, just 31 km (19 miles) from Wexford town and approximately 150 km from Dublin (about 90 minutes' drive).
Nearby attractions include Lady's Island and Carnsore Point, renowned for bird and seal watching. Championship golf courses, local angling, pony trekking, and scenic coastal walking trails are also within reach.
For convenience, a small supermarket is located in Our Lady's Island, with a larger one about 20 minutes away by car.
Numerous delightful restaurants are nearby, including the award-winning Lobster Pot, just a 30-minute walk from your door. Additionally, a Sauna and Yoga Studio (www.soulfire.ie) is just a five-minute walk down the beach.
Important Notes:
Please note that the cottage is small and retains its original charm, with low ceiling heights and uneven stairs that may not be suitable for toddlers or small children. We do not charge a cleaning fee; we ask that you leave the property in the same condition as you found it. Bed linen is provided; however, but towels are not included. Both wood-burning stoves require firelighters, briquettes, or logs for use.
Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy a magical stay at St Judes!
