“Second
stay and service and hospitality remain outstanding”
Orpington
August 2009
Stayed at Churchtown House for the second time for a week in July
2009. Austin and Patricia Cody are both wonderful hosts, the food is
excellent and the service, cleanliness and attention to detail remain
first class. Waitresses and domestic staff all extremely pleasant and
attentive to our needs.
The hotel is beautiful, steeped in history, standing in idyllic
picturesque grounds. The environment is so serene with well maintained
gardens and each morning the only sounds that you will hear are the
birds singing in the trees. Ideally situated with Rosslare port only
five minutes away.
This hotel deserves a five star rating due to the high standards
maintained by two most lovely professional people. Cant wait to go
back !!

“Fantastic Find”
Jul 17, 2008
Very
pretty and easy to find with comfortable large rooms. Best thing though is how
close it is to the ferry. Nice to arrive in Ireland and stay somewhere
genuinely peaceful without having to drive any distance. Friendly owner
recommended a few places to eat out. The lobster pot had excellent restaurant
quality food at restaurant prices, despite looking like a pub from the
outside. Breakfast was filling, tasty and hot.

“Best in Rosslare”
May 27, 2008
Friendly host, huge room
and good breakfast.
This would have been ideal for a longer stay but we were only passing thro. A
little more expensive than elsewhere but it was great to have such a nice spot
to stay after the ferry to Rosslare and before driving all the way to
Killarney.

“Great Hotel”
May 21, 2008
Lovely hotel in quiet
location in large grounds, only 5 minutes drive from the Ferryport at
Rosslare.
We were allocated the principal first floor front room, which was
very spacious and well appointed.
Creeky floorboards are to be expected in a 18th century building. The loo was
great with a full length window overlooking the car park and grounds, but it
did have a blind if you were modest!
Great and substantial breakfast. Welcoming hosts, what more could you ask. Wish
we could have stayed longer but we were driving all the way to Galway the next
day.
“Wonderful anniversary break!!”
Oct 20, 2007
Had a fantastic surprise
anniversary break at Churchtown House.
My husband booked us in and I really enjoyed my break there. We had a
wonderful dinner on our 1st night and slept extremely well in our very
spacious bedroom. Breakfast was excellent and set us up for a days touring. We
visited nearby Carne beach which we loved and plan to return in the future
when we plan to visit johnstown castle gardens. All in all a wonderful
anniversary!!

“Absolute Perfection!”
Jul 22, 2007
My husband and I have
just spent 2 nights (@July 2007) at the very beautiful Churchtown House.
We
were made very welcome by Austin and Patricia Cody, who are excellent hosts.
The accommodation was first class and so was breakfast!
We were sorry we couldn't avail of the evening meals during our stay due to
other commitments, but next time we will!!
I would strongly recommend Churchtown House to anyone looking for a base in
the Wexford/Rosslare area. This is a very special house which offers so much
in terms of its lovely surroundings and gorgeous provision for guests, yet at
very good value.
I can honestly say that Churchtown House was actually the nicest place I have
ever stayed in. It is the perfect example of how guest accommodation should be
run and I would have no hesitation recommending it! (& I can't wait to go
back!)

“Wonderful”
Jun 4, 2007
We stayed for one night
in May '07, coming over on the ferry from Pembroke. A very friendly welcome,
lovely spacious room with views over the fantastic garden. Breakfast was very
generous to say the least! A lovely haven after the bustle of the journey, I
wish our stay had been much longer!
“Peace &
Quiet for the weary parents”
Apr 30, 2007
Churchtown House is a
perfect haven for weekend breaks for parents who need a chance to re-charge
their batteries. It is wonderfully simple B&B that serves wonderful evening
meals. Austin (the owner) makes sure you are happy and relaxed. The dinner we
had costed €39 each + €20 for a lovely bottle of wine - you would have to
search long and hard to get value like.
“Very beautiful place!”
We stay for only one
night (13 august 2006)
We were welcomed from a from a Miss. who has offered the and biscuit in a
beautiful drawing-room. Accommodation was very most comfortable. The rooms is
spacious and were furnished with beautiful age furnitures. The breakfast has
been excellent.
This is one true Irish Manor House!

— You ask where to have dinner near the hotel, there is a typical restaurant
with plates of fish, much pleasant one.
“Wonderful stay”
We stayed for one night
at the start of our holiday, 28July 2006 and again at the end a fortnight
later. On both occasions we were welcomed at the door and on hearing that our
return journey from Cork had been long and arduous were offered a cup of tea
which was gratefully accepted and served in the comfort of the Garden Room.
Accommodation was first class and most comfortable. Our friends who are
somewhat disabled were provided with the same ground floor room both times.
Pre dinner sherry and after dinner coffee, served in the Garden Room, was a
really nice touch.
Both evening meals were superb, not too much and not too little. Perfectly
cooked and presented and contrary to a previous contributor's comment at
39Euros certainly not "London Prices" nor expensive for a four course meal
with sherry and coffee included!!
The full Irish Breakfast, even served at an especially early time on our
latter visit, was delicious. No need for lunch after that!!
Our only negative comment would be that tea and coffee making facilities are
not provided in bedrooms. However this appears to be generally the case in
Ireland and is something the industry should address.
Congratulations to Austin & Patricia Cody and Staff and thanks for a great
stay.

“Short but sweet”
Jul 21, 2006
We only stayed at
Churchtown House for one night after suffering a horrible ferry journey over
from Wales. The house and grounds were very pretty and our room was
comfortable with a nice view over the gardens. The lounge looked very inviting
and we would have liked to sit there on arrival and relax with a drink,
unfortunately the bad weather meant we were late arriving and were too tired.
Even though we didn't get there till after 9pm, we had a warm welcome - I had
previously emailed the hotel to check if it was OK to turn up in the late
evening, and they offered to provide us with a late supper, which was a nice
touch. There was a good choice for breakfast, and again there were pleasant
views over the gardens. The rate we obtained from the hotel's website was very
reasonable. Based on such a short stay, we would definitely recommend
Churchtown House and would stay there again if we got the ferry to Rosslare.
