A Great Car Trip Stopover at Churchtown House


Churchtown House is a historic 18th Century Country Manor that is known as a haven of tranquility. It is set on 8 acres of farmland, and lies close to Rosslare Ferry Port and Wexford Town. Built in 1703, Churchtown House was associated with some of Wexford's most powerful families. These families were in turn involved in the 1798 insurrection. The most notable of these families were the Herron Family whose son John Herron was exiled and later became one of Napoleon's favourite generals. Churchtown House has recently been restored to its former glory. It mixes traditional elegance with country house charm. The house also possesses 8 acres of mature parkland and farmland that provides a haven of peace and tranquility. The house’s large and elegant reception rooms are adorned with Irish paintings. These rooms are furnished with period items, roaring fireplaces and cosy stove fires. Individually appointed bedrooms, on the other hand, are free from cluttered items, this decision for Spartan sleeping quarters gives the impression that hotel residents are simply house guests during their stay. Dinners at Churchtown House are very notable. It celebrates good country food that has been prepared in a traditional style and has been matched with a personal selection of fine wines. Churchtown House is a great place to stay in if you wish to explore the historic county of Wexford with an abundance of forts, castles, abbeys and sights of interest. While golf, blue flag beaches, bird watching, fishing and horse riding can all be enjoyed nearby. Your car trip through Ireland will be so much more memorable with a scheduled stay at the Churchtown House.
