IF YOU’RE LONGING to escape to the countryside, but don’t want to be far removed from everyday amenities, Ferrycarrig Lodge is likely to appeal.   

Located a five-minute drive from Wexford town, Ferrycarrig Lodge sits on 0.75 acres and boasts views of the River Slaney and the countryside from every room. 

The five-bed property spans three floors, with a self-contained apartment at basement level.
