One of Ireland’s most distinguished four-star destinations, Ferrycarrig is celebrated for its breathtaking riverside views, sophisticated interiors, and warm, award-winning hospitality.
At the heart of this exquisite retreat lies Reeds Restaurant, an award-winning dining experience where culinary artistry meets locally sourced, seasonal produce. Combined with beautifully appointed guest rooms and the hotel’s tranquil Active Club and Spa, Ferrycarrig promises a sumptuous “home away from home” where every detail is crafted for relaxation and delight.
From 24 to 27 December 2025, guests can indulge in a two- or three-night Christmas stay filled with gourmet excellence, festive entertainment, and warm hospitality. Luxurious river-view rooms, elegant dining, and the soft glow of the season set the stage for an unforgettable celebration.
Christmas Eve begins with a sparkling welcome and a celebratory dinner in Reeds Restaurant, where Executive Chef Liam Forde curates an elegant menu that celebrates the best of Wexford’s coastal and countryside produce. After dinner, guests can unwind beside the crackling fire in the Dry Dock Bar, accompanied by live entertainment.
Christmas morning unfolds at a leisurely pace, beginning with a decadent breakfast overlooking the River Slaney, followed by a sumptuous festive lunch served with Reeds’ signature flair.
