About this property
Shepherds Walk is a charming, characterful cottage resting in the heart of Duncannon, County Wexford. Just a short stroll from the coast, a shop, and a pub, this homely retreat with off-road parking welcomes small families or friends, along with two well-behaved pets, for a delightful seaside escape. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by a warm and inviting open-plan area, housing a well-equipped kitchen, a dining room, and a snug sitting room. The kitchen is perfect for preparing home-cooked meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table, while the sitting room, complete with a TV and an open fire, provides a relaxing space for evenings in. The property boasts three well-presented bedrooms, a double and two singles. The double bedroom benefits from an en-suite, featuring a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, offering a private space to freshen up each morning. The single bedrooms are ideal for any additional guests. A separate bathroom, complete with a bath, basin, and WC, serves the rest of the property. A cloakroom with a basin and WC adds further convenience to your stay. Outside, the property features an enclosed rear garden, complete with decking and furniture. This outdoor space provides a serene spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink while soaking up the calm surroundings. If you fancy a night off cooking then Duncannon has several eateries to try, including a series of bars, pubs and restaurants that suit all tastes. When the weather is nice, head to Duncannon beach, a wonderful golden stretch which is the perfect place to spend the day swimming and sunbathing. Walkers will be eager to explore the Hook Peninsula where you can see some breathtaking views and landmarks including the world’s oldest working lighthouse, which was constructed in the 12th century, while history buffs will be drawn to the beautiful Tintern Abbey and Loftus Hall, which is believed to be one of Ireland’s most haunted houses. If it’s bustling city life you’re seeking, look no further than Waterford, home to House of Waterford Crystal Factory where you can tour the production of crystals from beginning to end, the Waterford Treasures: Medieval Museum and the magnificent Clock Tower where you can enrich your knowledge of the area’s historical architecture before indulging in a hearty meal or cold beverage in one of several pubs. However you decide to spend your time, Shepherds Walk provides a charming setting for your county Wexford adventure.
The picturesque fishing village of Duncannon is situated in southwest County Wexford, and is dominated by Duncannon Fort, which sits on a rocky outcrop jutting into the channel.

With a couple of pubs and restaurants and a children’s playground by the beach, Duncannon is a lovely place for a quiet seaside holiday. Catch a ferry to the beaches and watersports of Dunmore East, shop for traditional crystal in Waterford, enjoy the music of Wexford Festival Opera each October or explore some of the historic houses, beautiful gardens and lovely walks in this wonderful part of Ireland. With activities like fishing, golf and horseriding all within easy reach this is a perfect location for a family holiday.
