About this property

Irish mansion and cottage in one

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. 😳

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.

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.

Charming house

We had a lovely stay at this charming house set in its own gardens in a very peaceful location. We were just the two of us so had plenty of space and each our own bathroom. We loved the old house and impressive rooms. The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed.

Covid wedding

As we have stayed twice before we know how good this lovely old house and garden are..... but this time we had a fabulous time as we got married during our stay and salville was a fabulous place to celebrate with our wedding group of 6 . The peaceful house with its old world charm and the picturesque gardens really made the day special . Although the kitchen facilities are great as it was a special week for us we had the food for our wedding day and subsequent days supplied by the excellent Westgate design catering in Wexford .No cooking -it was bliss and would be ideal for any week / event in salville when you didn’t feel like cooking .The photographer on the day was pawel Bebenca .... All in all a fabulous stress free week . Barbara

Absolutely Beautiful Home

This is one of the loveliest places I've ever stayed - I didn't want to leave! The house is wonderful - large, beautifully-decorated rooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a big garden. It has everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Communication with the host was outstanding. I cannot recommend the house highly enough, and I hope to return sometime soon.

A piece of heaven

We stayed at salville last week to celebrate my partners birthday . We had a fabulous week . It is a beautiful house with such a peaceful feeling from the moment you walk in the door . We lit a great big fire every evening and that along with central heating meant we were so cosy . I cooked a dinner on my partners birthday and we and a few friends dined in the elegant dining room laughed and chatted . The house has everything you could wish for .. we were sad to leave but shall return next year for my 60th hopefully !!!

Sumptuousness without the Decadence

It was clear to us, as a middle-aged English 'normal' couple whose children recently 'flew the nest', such that we were at last on our own for our Spring holiday, when we first arrived at Salville House that it 'spoke' of the classes to our immediate 'north'. Amusingly, if you ever have the fortune to visit this exquisite property, you will notice upon the moribund (sob...) AGA a framed magazine article about its, presumably, previous existence as some sort of gastronomic sanctuary to the well-heeled of Wexford, that it's quaintly referred to as a 'small house'. We found that somewhat hilarious because, Salville House, by any 'normal' standard is absolutely huge. It's one of those houses, again for people like us that happen to inhabit in our native Kent the simplicity of a three-storey Georgian Townhouse of relatively limited proportions, which soars in proportion, particularly vertically. The ceiling heights on both the ground and first floors (Americans please note; the first and second), are monstrously enormous. Simply put: one finds oneself roaming the house with very little purpose, just to acquire a random book or a randomly discarded pair of socks from the previous evening. The grounds themselves are devilishly and quintessentially gorgeous. Birdsong is everywhere and the view to the Slaney river is disarming in its pulchritude. So what did we do each early evening, during our ten-night-stay: this newly Irish-cultured (from England; oh and by the way my wife is genetically quarter Irish understandably on a 'pilgrimage') middle-aged couple, surrounded as we were, with all manner of Wexford treasures? We played Darts. Yes Darts Ladies and Gentlemen. Every evening with our Gin And tonics at Seven O Clock, VULGAR DARTS, (to any Americans, this is like sort of shooting at animals but without the guns: you just sort of shoot at mathematical constructs: for us mere English: most enjoyable). Look we've literally just landed back in England from the Emerald Isle, via Wales obviously, and all is fine. So to conclude everyone; in our humble opinion: Salville House is the epitome of justifiable magnificence in every aspect. If you arrive at this beautiful property, you will probably never want to leave it, ever.

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.

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!
