Nestled on the edge of Wexford Town and set directly on the banks of the Slaney River, the four-star Ferrycarrig Hotel boasts one of Ireland’s most breathtaking locations. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty and wildlife, the hotel offers guests a truly serene retreat. Every one of its 102 contemporary bedrooms enjoys sweeping views over the tranquil estuary, where the soothing sounds of the water and river birds create a peaceful wake-up call each morning.
This Easter, Ferrycarrig Hotel is the perfect destination for a family getaway. Families can enjoy a two- or three-night stay in a spacious ensuite room overlooking the river, complete with a hearty breakfast each morning. The stay includes full access to the hotel’s leisure facilities, including a swimming pool, a baby preparation room, and an
outdoor playground. To make the experience even more memorable, each family break includes a pass to the Irish National Heritage Park—Ireland’s largest outdoor museum—where history and nature come to life.
Beyond the hotel, Ferrycarrig offers the ideal base to explore the best of Wexford’s family-friendly activities.
