Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
We have been on four lovely exchanges. Our first was in Paris, our second in Austria and another in Cognac France and one in Dingle, Ireland. All were fantastic. Our Cottage is a newly built ( 2007 ) Thatched dormer situated in the quaint fishing village of Kilmore Quay. It is a popular tourist area and is known as 'the Sunny Southeast' , because of its mild sunny climate relative to the rest of the country. It is 20 minutes drive to Wexford town and there is also public bus service from the village. There is so much to do all around
including fabulous beaches, heritage sites and amazing walking & cycle routes.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
There are many beautiful beaches and little coves to explore. You will have them all to yourself!! There are also possibilities for sailing, Kayaking and sea angling.
There is a kids playground in village and a lovely boardwalk along the village waterfront. There are other beautiful walks along the Ballyteigue beach, through the sand dunes and also around the seashore near the small beach in the village. You can walk out St Patricks bridge at ebbing tide. The sand dunes are also fabulous for a picnic providing lovely sheltered areas. The oldest working lighthouse in Europe "The Hook" is a short drive away with beautiful walks around. Other places of interest are Johnstown castle, the heritage centre at Ferrycarrig, Rosslare village/ Strand, Wexford town and more. There are cycle routes marked all around the area and bicycle rental in the village. A trip to the Saltee islands just 20 minutes off the coast is a must. You can spend a lovely sunny day there walking , picnicking & bird watching. https://youtu.be/62kyyI2G52A
