From golden beaches and scenic nature trails to heritage attractions and family-friendly activities, it’s easy to see why Wexford remains one of Ireland’s favourite destinations for family holidays. Ideally located just outside Wexford Town at the junction of the N11 and N25, Newtown Park Hotel offers the perfect base for discovering the sunny south east. Less than two hours from Dublin and just 20 minutes from Rosslare Europort, the hotel has been transformed following an extensive refurbishment completed last year, giving guests a fresh and contemporary experience throughout.
Set to be one of Wexford’s standout destinations this summer, the hotel offers a host of thoughtful features for families, including two onsite playgrounds and a mini golf course, as well as family-friendly dining at the stunning new Courtyard Bar, a stylish yet welcoming space overlooking a sun-filled courtyard complete with a tranquil water fountain and lush terraces.
The hotel is currently offering a great value overnight package, the Summer Family Activity Break, available throughout July and August, with rates from €184 for two adults and one child, €201 for two adults and two children, and €228 for two adults and three children under 12*. The package includes a one-night stay in a spacious modern family room, with each room typically featuring a combination of a double bed and two single beds. Larger family rooms accommodating up to two adults and four children are also available, along with interconnecting rooms.
You’ll also enjoy a hearty breakfast, perfect for fuelling a fun-filled day, along with a complimentary round of mini golf, guaranteed to inspire a little friendly competition among the generations. While you’re there, choose to add extras like lunch or dinner at The Courtyard Bar where the menu showcases a true taste of Wexford, and a dedicated children’s menu keeps younger diners happy too.
When it comes to exploring, some of Wexford’s top attractions are just minutes away. Step back in time at the Irish National Heritage Park, located five minutes from the hotel, or discover the stunning grounds of Johnstown Castle & Gardens, a nine-minute drive away. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the International Outdoor Adventure Centre (ten minutes) and Secret Valley Wildlife Park (25 minutes). Coastal explorers are equally spoilt for choice, with some of the county’s most beautiful beaches within easy reach, including Curracloe and Rosslare (20 minutes), Courtown and Morriscastle (35 minutes), and Cahore and Ballymoney (40 minutes).
On-site, there’s plenty to do too as all guests enjoy complimentary access to the Newtown Park Health & Fitness Club, a state-of-the-art facility complete with a 20-metre swimming pool, a kids’ pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and a fully equipped gym. Kids can burn off energy in the hotel’s two playgrounds, while the hotel’s mini golf course and mini soccer pitch continue to be firm family favourites.
