About this property

Partly elegant mansion, partly cozy cottage, Salville House was completed in 1890. It is located approximately 3km outside of Enniscorthy, one of the oldest and most historic cities in Ireland. The lively port and culture town of Wexford, known for its Opera Festival weeks, is approximately 20 km away. It offers great shopping and numerous restaurants and cafes. Not far from Enniscorthy and Wexford there are breathtaking beaches and beautiful scenery. Salville House is perfectly located for a vacation in the "Sunny Southeast" of Ireland.

Salville House can accommodate a maximum of six people. It has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The large garden invites you to explore, romp around or just relax and soak up the sun. You have Salville House entirely for yourselvers. Behind the house, there is a permanently occupied cottage (see plan among the photos on this platform); there is a connecting door to the cottage in the corridor. This is permanently locked.

Internet is available throughout the house, but it is not a high-speed connection.

Salville House is a non-smoking home.

A well-behaved pet is welcome.

Excellent

I stayed with my two daughters and had a lovely time. The place is extremely spacious and nicely decorated and the kitchen is fab. Having the games room was a pleasure and we learned to play darts. It’s quiet but close enough to the town for supplies and the garden is beautiful. I would definitely recommend it and would go back. 😳

An amazing experience at the Irish Mansion

Our stay at the Irish Mansion was a wonderful experience for our family group of five. The mansion itself is beautiful, with spacious rooms, a very well-equipped kitchen, and a stunning dining room. When we first arrived there was a problem with the heating, but it was addressed immediately by Daniel and the local tradesperson; it was working perfectly within a day. A mansion of this size is potentially not easy to heat, but it was always the right temperature for us, especially in the chilly mornings. We toured the Wexford area from this location and saw so much, attending the Wexford Opera Festival, visiting Kilkenny and the Hook Head Lighthouse, and always finishing our days with a lovely family meal in the elegant dining room. We hope to return to the Irish Mansion some day again - it was truly a magical experience!

Irish Mansion

Very large and beautiful property in the Irish country. Good location to the southern coast. This property was perfect for our group and the different rooms were spacious and comfortable. The large kitchen and dining area were great for a medium sized group of people. Highly recommend this property for seeking a quiet location for a holiday.

Wonderful as always

Another lovely stay in Salville which has become a real home from home. The wet weather didn’t bother us as we spent cosy afternoons reading and watching movies in the beautiful sitting room and evenings cooking up a storm in the fab kitchen. As always, Dan and Irene were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

Old spacious house close to Enniscorthy!

My husband and I spent 10 days at Salville House. The house has SO much character and style all while keeping to its roots of being an old manor. The house has 4 beds, 3 larger and 1 small bed, 3 total showers (2 in bath tubs, 1 standard stall), and enough toilets/bathrooms for you, your family, and the neighbors if necessary! The dining room is spectacular and posh, the front sitting/TV room is equally large but has a fairly small TV for such a large room. The kitchen is very functional but some of the cookware could use replacing. As is stated in the listing, there is WiFi throughout the house (we only found a few dead spots), but is *definitely* not high-speed...it caps out at about 35mbps...enough for web browsing and YouTube videos, but only if 1 or 2 people are streaming videos. The only real complaint I would have is the beds. They are *very* firm. The small bed is softer, but is still fairly firm.The resident that lives in the attached rear area was quiet and could only hear him if standing near the 2 doors that lead into his living space (they're locked).Any communication sent to the hosts/owners was responded to in short order which is an added bonus as not all hosts communicate well.All-in-all, with a few minor changes, this would have been a perfect stay, but we are *not* disappointed in the least! We hope to return on our next visit or the visit after as the location worked well for a jumping point for many places to visit.

Excellent stay

Lovely, comfortable house, although the sleigh bed was thought to be a little too firm. There was everything that you could conceivably need (except a measuring jug). Everything taken into consideration, it was a fabulous place to stay. Wonderful house and gardens and perfectly situated to see other areas and beaches. Our hosts were always accessible by email before our trip and we have no doubt that should we wish to visit the area again, we would be very happy to stay at Salville House again and also recommend it to friends.

Ein begeisterndes Haus mit vielen großen Zimmern. Sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Lage ist super. Man hat seine Ruhe, aber man ist auch schnell an schönen Orten. Bei schlechtem Wetter kann man sich eine schöne Zeit im Haus machen. Bei gutem Wetter kann man viel unternehmen. Ein super Haus!

A lovely period property with a homely feel and plenty of space and seclusion but still near to local amenities. Our home will feel tiny after staying here. Very good communication from Dan and Irene the owners of the house. Thank you very much

Wonderful old house

Wonderful and old, with lots of charm--main house dates from the early nineteenth century, so it is of course showing its age too. It is not a "modernized" version of what once was. But all the essentials work well (bathrooms, kitchen), the views are spectacular across acres of wheat, and while the walk into town is not quick, it is very pleasant, as is Enniscorthy. Vehicle needed, but bicycles also work. And it is easy to get on the expressways and travel afar.

Absolutely beautiful house and grounds and central location to so many things to do

Salville House is a beautiful house and a wonderful location. It is central to so many different touristy things each day. Nothing was further than a half hour drive, 1798 Rebellion museum, Vinegar hill, the Castle, Secret Wildlife, National Heritage park not to mention the whole Kennedy experience and famine ships in New Ross. We enjoyed eating out and eating in, in equal measure the kids loved the play room we spent many hours in the evening competing in darts and football. Thank you so much Dan and Irene, we will be back again for sure

Wie in einem anderen Jahrhundert/eine irische Zeitreise

Das alte Herrenhaus erzählt Geschichten aus alten Zeiten, man muss sich nur öffnen und sich entspannt treiben lassen. Die Großzügigkeit der Räume und des Grundstückes tun der Seele gut. Man kann sich vom heimischen Hamsterrad befreien und endlich einmal wieder 'groß' denken, Pläne schmieden und träumen... Was will man mehr?

Simply wonderful!

I did not want to leave what was a very effortlessly comfortable and lovely stay in just beautiful surroundings both inside and out. Hosts Dan & Irene were just a dream to deal with and if you are fortunate, as we were, to bump into Jim the grounds-man do engage him in conversation as he will quite happily impart a wealth of knowledge of all things local. Did I mention that the ceiling heights made me swoon......? Salville is a house you can just immediately fall in love with. I am smitten.
