The Dunes, Ballinesker, Curracloe, Co Wexford

This beautiful thatched 300 year old cob cottage is set in its own ground just the other side of the dune, with the sea 70 steps away from the front gate!
Ballinesker beach is a long sandy beach north of Curracloe, about 15 minutes drive from Wexford. It is a noted beach for bird watching and its fine white sand is rich in seashells. Ballinesker is one of the only beaches in North Wexford that roads runs parallel to the beach. It easily accessible for older people and disabled community.

The Beach is a 3 mile section of a long stretch of sandy coastline extending from the Special Area of Conservation at the Raven Point to Ballyconniger Head, which is approximately 10 miles long. The Beach has an easterly aspect overlooking Wexford Bay and the Irish Sea and is bordered on the west by a line of sand dunes.
Ballinesker Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag Beach 2015

The cosy thatched cottage has a living room with satellite TV, WIFI. Master bedroom with beamed roof. Second Bedroom with double bed and single bed. Kitchen breakfast room. Toilet/shower room with electric shower. Hall area with seating. Extensive gardens with outside shower for washing down after the beach. Bikes, wind surfboard available.

A beautiful cottage. Fully equipped with milk, sugar, tea, coffee, butter , assortment of jams and sauces, beds were so comfy even poo bags for 4 legged friends, brush and treats. Beautiful beach. Host should be complimented on her thoughtfulness. Just one suggestion, change light in kitchen to a LED light as it's very dark. It was my idea of heaven. Thank you Deirdre.

New Year Stay
We had a wonderful few days at The Dunes. The Cottage is small but that made it all the cozier. You could not want for anything in the Cottage and Dee had gone to a lot of trouble to put up Christmas decorations and give us a welcome feel. We got excellent weather, so we spent a lot of time walking on the beach. My dog Jessie also had a wonderful time playing int he garden and on the beach. I would definitely recommend the Cottage for a stay and would hope to return again sometime. Thank you Dee and her Manager, Mary.

Gorgeously looked after hideaway
From the initial conversation with Dee (the owner) and throughout my stay, everything was perfect. The Dunes is a wonderful bolthole and only a few moments stroll onto the gorgeous Balinesker beach.

Nice, cosy retreat close to the beach

The most beautiful house in the vicinity
The setting of the house is remarkable. The best moment is coming home from the beach and looking down to house and garden from the top of the dunes. The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds are excellent (sleeping 9 hours an more without back pain!). Due to the thick walls one should be aware that the wifi only works at some places: living room, kitchen, bathroom, through the window in the garden; but e.g. not in the room with the double bed. Many thanks for the excellent communication with the owner as well as the caretaker. This house is really worth the money!

Sehr schönes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Cottage
Das Haus hat alles was man für die Ferien braucht. Die Kinder freuten sich über die Bücher und Spiele und wir Erwachsenen über die Gemütlichkeit des Hauses. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und die Lage ist einfach traumhaft.
