Apart from winning the lottery, there probably aren't many things more blissful than a horsey canter along an Irish beach. If this too is your idea of what you'd do on any holiday, you're well placed to sort it at Wexford's Roches Campervan and Campsite: it's right on the Bannow estuary and the site owners run a horse and pony trekking centre alongside their working dairy farm. You might not be able to imagine many views more blissful than over the sea from Roches either – perhaps a view of a winning lottery ticket...? And the site also has direct access to the bay: it's in the sunny south east of Ireland with loads of beaches and historical sites nearby, and kayak hire is available on site. Base yourself here for fab flat and bass fishing in the estuary too, and walks alongside it, and splendid Wexford beaches, and old old sites like Tintern Abbey and the Clonmines castles. Pubs, a chemist, two supermarkets, a tyre centre and hair salons are at the local village of Wellingtonbridge a short drive away. Roches has a shower and toilet block, internet access, charging facilities and chemical disposal. Barbecues and campfires are allowed, but if you're too blissed out/knackered after your horse ride to sort supper, trot along to one of the several nearby pubs serving tasty feed – trad Irish music sessions are often on the menu too. Music is also available on site at weekends in June, July and August, with midweek karaoke for the kids. The site is 45 minutes from Rosslare if you're heading to/from Europe and want an overnight stay.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Location
The nearby walks
Available outdoor amenities, such as bar, food van and seating
Friendly staff

Disliked: Not a dislike as such, but the showers were a bit of a hike uphill from the motorhome section of the site. The first one i tried was low pressure and cold but the next one worked OK. I reported it and they said they would get maintenance onto it.

Did dislike the fact that we were asked to discharge our grey waste onto a grating that runs down a culvert directly onto the beach.

Not a good experience! Worst place we stayed in Ireland!!

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Beautiful welcome and shown to our pitch. Excellent services on site. Showers and toilets. Weather was amazing which added to the already natural beauty of the place. There was so much space, variety of people, tents caravan MH and no one was on top of the other. Coffee dock, fast food van , wine bar brilliant. Music on Friday and Saturday, entertainment. Finished up approptate time and no loud musuc after 11pm. Donkey trail so beautiful and dog friendly too. Great 3 night stay and definitely recommend and will be back 👍

Local attractions

The ruin of 13th-century Tintern Abbey (not the Wordsworth one) is one of many old sites to see in Co Wexford and its surrounds. See also Hook Lighthouse at nearby Hook Head, the oldest working lighthouse in the world, and 16th-century Duncannon Fort with its maritime museum. Several towns and villages are around Bannow Bay (although do go fishing first): pedal or potter around the likes of Saltmills, Newtown, Ballygow, Ballyowen and the splendidly named Haggard Bridge to carefully compare the Guinness in each. If you're lucky enough to be on an extended trip (perhaps with the aid of that winning lottery ticket), make your way from Roches to the ferry port at Rosslare, from where you can sail serenely on to Fishguard and Pembroke in Wales, or to Cherbourg or Roscoff in la belle France.
