Home description

Families will love St Helens - with freedom for kids of all ages to play & make new friends, within the safety of a gated resort.

This is a cosy property designed with comfort in mind. There is an open plan living area and kitchen, double sliding doors open out onto the patio / garden with outdoor seating area and parasol, perfect for al fresco dining, with a view onto plenty of shared green space for kids to play.

Golfers will love the choice of playing at St Helens Bay Golf club, an 18-hole course on site, designed by Philip Walton. Alternatively there's a driving range and 9-hole pay & play course, Tuskar Golf Club, beside St Helens, or just a short "drive" away, you can play the famous links course at Rosslare Strand. Discounts on green fees are available by arrangement to guests staying at St Helens Village.

While Wexford is Ireland's Sunny South East, the location at St Helens & Rosslare has a microclimate of its own and typically gets more sunshine than other locations only a few miles away. May & June have been especially good in recent years.

Wexford is renowned for its annual Opera Festival, held in late October for three weeks (15/10/2009 - 1/11/2009) and the newest addition to the town's skyline is Wexford Opera House, opened in 2008, which has been officially rated the acoustic equivalent of its larger cousin, Sydney Opera House. As well has hosting rare operas, the Festival Fringe events include recitals, art exhibitions, craft fairs and lots of activities for all the family in and around the town.

During the Festival, St Helens Bay golf clubhouse plays host to annual drama productions by the Ballycogley players.

Guestbook for Holiday at Sunny St Helens

"We loved our vacation at this beautiful bright, clean & fully equipped cottage on St. Helen's Golf Course. This cottage is suitable for couples or families. The location on this beautiful golf course is a couple of minutes from a lovely sandy beach. We were there a little too early to try swimming although I saw some kids splashing around. The location was ideal for us as we could easily take a day trip to some historic sites such as Wexford Town, Waterford, New Ross, the Hook Peninsula and Dunbrody Abbey. The owners were the best hosts and are welcome to stay with us any time in Canada" Gary & Alice, Nova Scotia, Canada - May 2009

"We stayed here in April 2009, the accommodation is lovely and fulfilled all our needs. The children loved the area and were completely safe! Great communication from the owners and an ideal base for discovering Southern Ireland. We plan to come back very soon and we will be recommending to our friends and family" Donna & Nick, Wales (2009)

"I've stayed here on a couple of occasions with my young son. We had a great time, the house had everything we needed and more. St Helens itself is great and safe for children" - Stephen - Dublin, Ireland (2007, 2008)

"My wife and I stayed at this house in St Helen's bay for our first time for a weekend in 2008. Easy access from Rosslare Ferry. A great base for visiting Wexford town - the sun shines almost every morning there, even when it might be raining everywhere else! We were met on site with the keys and had absolutely no problems." - John - Berkshire, UK

"Had a great holiday in St Helens. House in excellent condition - with everything we needed and more. Spent many wonderful hours on the beach which we could walk to. Great place for kids - we had a blast! Definitely be back!" - Helen, Dublin, Ireland.
