About this property

Irish mansion and cottage in one

Partly elegant mansion, partly cozy cottage, Salville House was completed in 1890. It is located approximately 3km outside of Enniscorthy, one of the oldest and most historic cities in Ireland. The lively port and culture town of Wexford, known for its Opera Festival weeks, is approximately 20 km away. It offers great shopping and numerous restaurants and cafes. Not far from Enniscorthy and Wexford there are breathtaking beaches and beautiful scenery. Salville House is perfectly located for a vacation in the "Sunny Southeast" of Ireland.


Salville House can accommodate a maximum of six people. It has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The large garden invites you to explore, romp around or just relax and soak up the sun. You have Salville House entirely for yourselvers. Behind the house, there is a permanently occupied cottage (see plan among the photos on this platform); there is a connecting door to the cottage in the corridor. This is permanently locked.

Internet is available throughout the house, but it is not a high-speed connection.

Salville House is a non-smoking home.

A well-behaved pet is welcome.

Amazing space for our two week respite in the southeast. Secluded but very convenient to town and attractions. Our hosts were quick to respond to any minor questions and concerns, resolving them easily. Great kitchen. Beautiful views of the River Slaney valley and wheat fields. We will be returning next year!

Thank you for your honest review. All comments we receive help us to make Salville House as good a holiday location as we possible can. We have noted your comments, especially about the beds and bed linen and will check them thoroughly next time we are at the house ourselves. We believe the photos to be a true and accurate representation of the house. It’s not in our interest for guests to be disappointed with what they find when they arrive!

Irish Mansion

Very large and beautiful property in the Irish country. Good location to the southern coast. This property was perfect for our group and the different rooms were spacious and comfortable. The large kitchen and dining area were great for a medium sized group of people. Highly recommend this property for seeking a quiet location for a holiday.

Wonderful stay in a house full of character

The house is big and well equipped with comfortable beds and bathrooms. The dining room is a fantastic space that we all greatly enjoyed. The garden is gorgeous, and the location is both peaceful and beautiful, with just a hint of road noise in the distance. Enniscorthy is very close and there is easy access to many fun places including the beaches. We stayed 2 weeks and want to especially thank the cleaners for coming in on the middle Saturday and leaving the place sparkling. The only minor problem we had was that the living room was a little musty on arrival which triggered allergies for one of us. As we aired out the space that improved.

I stayed with my two daughters and had a lovely time. The place is extremely spacious and nicely decorated and the kitchen is fab. Having the games room was a pleasure and we learned to play darts. It’s quiet but close enough to the town for supplies and the garden is beautiful. I would definitely recommend it and would go back. 😳

Wonderful as always

Another lovely stay in Salville which has become a real home from home. The wet weather didn’t bother us as we spent cosy afternoons reading and watching movies in the beautiful sitting room and evenings cooking up a storm in the fab kitchen. As always, Dan and Irene were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

Excellent stay

Lovely, comfortable house, although the sleigh bed was thought to be a little too firm. There was everything that you could conceivably need (except a measuring jug). Everything taken into consideration, it was a fabulous place to stay. Wonderful house and gardens and perfectly situated to see other areas and beaches. Our hosts were always accessible by email before our trip and we have no doubt that should we wish to visit the area again, we would be very happy to stay at Salville House again and also recommend it to friends.

An amazing experience at the Irish Mansion

Our stay at the Irish Mansion was a wonderful experience for our family group of five. The mansion itself is beautiful, with spacious rooms, a very well-equipped kitchen, and a stunning dining room. When we first arrived there was a problem with the heating, but it was addressed immediately by Daniel and the local tradesperson; it was working perfectly within a day. A mansion of this size is potentially not easy to heat, but it was always the right temperature for us, especially in the chilly mornings. We toured the Wexford area from this location and saw so much, attending the Wexford Opera Festival, visiting Kilkenny and the Hook Head Lighthouse, and always finishing our days with a lovely family meal in the elegant dining room. We hope to return to the Irish Mansion some day again - it was truly a magical experience!

Old spacious house close to Enniscorthy!

My husband and I spent 10 days at Salville House. The house has SO much character and style all while keeping to its roots of being an old manor. The house has 4 beds, 3 larger and 1 small bed, 3 total showers (2 in bath tubs, 1 standard stall), and enough toilets/bathrooms for you, your family, and the neighbors if necessary! The dining room is spectacular and posh, the front sitting/TV room is equally large but has a fairly small TV for such a large room. The kitchen is very functional but some of the cookware could use replacing. As is stated in the listing, there is WiFi throughout the house (we only found a few dead spots), but is *definitely* not high-speed...it caps out at about 35mbps...enough for web browsing and YouTube videos, but only if 1 or 2 people are streaming videos. The only real complaint I would have is the beds. They are *very* firm. The small bed is softer, but is still fairly firm.The resident that lives in the attached rear area was quiet and could only hear him if standing near the 2 doors that lead into his living space (they're locked).Any communication sent to the hosts/owners was responded to in short order which is an added bonus as not all hosts communicate well.All-in-all, with a few minor changes, this would have been a perfect stay, but we are *not* disappointed in the least! We hope to return on our next visit or the visit after as the location worked well for a jumping point for many places to visit.

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt im Salville House. Das alte Herrenhaus ist wirklich etwas Besonderes – voller Charme und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich dort sofort in eine andere Zeit versetzt, ohne auf Komfort verzichten zu müssen. Das Haus war sehr gut ausgestattet und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.Besonders angenehm war auch die unkomplizierte und herzliche Kommunikation mit Daniel und Irene. Wir können das Salville House absolut weiterempfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
