"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!

Inadequate heating, so freezing and felt damp

Paid a very high nightly rate. Nothing welcoming about the place, radiators not working, two woodburners did nothing to address how cold the cottage was. No fuel provided, no towels provided as standard, have to take your own rubbish away, only rules to follow, no welcome note or instructions book, no local recommendations, cracked toilet seat, cluttered, needs decorating, broken lamps/lampshades falling off, sofa and beds felt damp because of the cold, one poor shower off the twin room with no privacy from the windo to outside or the bedroom. Had to find alternative place to stay on first morning on an Easter weekend and still charged for one full night. Host was apologetic but it was a terrible start to our short break and Vrbo were next to hopeless. Carne Beach is lovely but that's the only positive. The place we found on a different site was far superior and cheaper! Very poor experience, would never book through Vrbo again.

You can hear ocean waves from home so lovely

We had a great time in this home. It is well equipped and has everything will need. You can hear clean waves from this home and we even met a baby hedgehog in the yard. It's very private and safe and yes close enough to town. You and your family will have memorable time here and we look forward to coming back. If you are a writer a perfect place to get away as well.

Beautiful location quaint well furnished property

This beautiful well equipped home is thoughtfully decorated in a superb location a few paces from the beach. Surrounded by garden on all sides there were birds and bunnies all around and lovely flowers. Having one bathroom downstairs when sleeping upstairs was tricky as the stairs were quite steep and narrow but all in all for the quiet rural escape we wanted this was perfect. Thank you.

St Judes cottage review

The location of the property is excellent for beach lovers with Carne beach on your door step. The property is cosy and full of character. It is private, secluded and the perfect place to getaway from it all. The area is fantastic for long walks on the beach and water activities. Really enjoyed our time at the cottage and would love to revisit in the future.

The stuff that dreams are made of

I wasn't sure what I was getting into at all, but from the moment I arrived I was blown away by the personal care and attention given to this property. All comforts and conveniences available and easily accessible. Great privacy and not a soul bothered us. Would love to stay here again.

Das Cottage und die Umgebung sind traumhaft.Das Cottage selber ist gut eingerichtet, es ist alles vorhanden.Leider wird keine richtige Reinigung nach jeder Vermietung oder Grundreinigung vorgenommen, dadurch war es überall voll von Spinnweben und die Küche (Backofen, Schränke, Boden) fettig und schmutzig, schade. Wenn man sich das bewusst ist, ist es wirklich ein schöner Ort

Idyllic cottage in beautiful location.

We had a great time in this nice cottage. Yes, low ceiling and narrow steps - but that makes it very cosy. Very friendly contact to owner! Definitely recommendable!
