About County Wexford

Perched on Ireland’s sunny south-east coast, County Wexford blends golden beaches, charming harbor towns, and a rich heritage into one irresistible getaway. Hotel options here are just as varied as the scenery – think chic seaside resorts in Rosslare for spa lovers, boutique stays in Enniscorthy for history buffs, and pocket-friendly B&Bs in lively Wexford town for easy access to pubs and culture. Whether you’re after luxury, character, or value, Wexford has your perfect stay waiting.

Perched at the mouth of the River Slaney, Wexford is a charming starting point for exploring the region. Its tangle of medieval lanes hides treasures like the old town walls, a 13th-century tollgate, and the haunting ruins of 12th-century Selskar Abbey. The town hums with life, from the world-class opera festival at the National Opera House to bustling markets and a thriving food scene. Quirky spots like The Makers House, the National 1798 Rebellion Center, and the Irish National Heritage Park add even more color to a visit.

Beyond the town, County Wexford is packed with history, beauty, and a touch of the wild. Stroll through the grand gardens of Johnstown Castle, climb to Hook Lighthouse, or wander the atmospheric grounds of Tintern Abbey and Wells House. Nature lovers can watch puffins on the Saltee Islands, meet rescued seals in Courtown, or sink their toes into the white sands of Curracloe Beach. From gourmet stops in Gorey, New Ross, and Enniscorthy to woodland trails, rolling pastures, and music-filled pubs, the county serves up plenty to see, taste, and enjoy—often from the comfort of elegant country estates that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world.
