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

idyllic

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
