You have private use of the Orchard for your barbeque and access to seven acres of heritage gardens. You also have the opportunity of reserving a table for dinner in the dining room of the main house or lunch in the garden conservatory during your stay.

Restored in 1999, the Coach House contains a mix of exciting and unusual features. The ground floor contains a large Drawing room/Kitchen with a wonderfully high vaulted ceiling housing the Minstrel's Gallery.

A set of double doors leads you into a twin bedroom / private drawing room looking out over the walled gardens. (This room is a real gem. You can be curled up reading one of those novels which you have saved up for your holiday and your family can be playing a rather loud game of Monopoly downstairs, and you will not be disturbed!)

"Tranquil staycation just a short stop from home"
We spent 3 nights in this country manor set amongst the most beautiful gardens and just a few hours from Dublin. The bedrooms are old fashioned, no TV which made a change and our the Magnolia overlooked the gardens. You get a real feel for what it must have been like to live in a grand manor.Price includes breakfast which was top quality and plenty of selection. Dinner is extra and must be booked in advanced. Make sure you let them know in advance if you are vegetarian, vegan. The owners are very charming and the staff are polite pleasant. A true treasure and well worth a visit
Not to mention there is an indoor pool and a tennis court.

"lovely location, venue and hosts"
Had a great stay with my partner over 2 nights. The room was gorgeous, the gardens amazing and the hosts were so welcoming it was more like staying with relatives than with a business. Ideal for relaxing...

"Hidden Gem"
As staycationers we visited Kilmokea Gardens and came away enchanted by the beautiful gardens. In particular the garden across from the main garden has a different vista at every turn. Not only is there eye watering beauty for adults but children will be enchanted by the many attractions such as the wishing well, fairly village, myrtle wood and Norman ship to name but a few.

We finished off our visit with a lovely lunch, average priced, served by friendly staff.

Well worth a visit and all covid 19 protocols observed including temperature checks which made us feel very safe.

"Unforgettable"
Poppy had an amazing time as did her owners and our 19 year old son. We never felt awkward with our dog Poppy in the Manor or cafe! She was accommodated for so well. The gardens were unbelievable - beautifully kept and so much fun. There was a little adventure and slice of history at every turn. ☺️ The food hit every spot. The staff and owners were so lovely and helpful. We have never felt so relaxed in a place other than home as we did here! So we will definitely be back for a visit or better still, another

"Charming hidden gardens with a personal touch, great for kids, also cafe and play options"
Tucked away in western Wexford, the gardens at Kilmokea have been developed over decades, and are clearly a labour of love for the current owners. GPS will help in discovering this quiet spot, and then there is plenty of parking, and nice maps to show the way around. A casual and pleasant café is also where you can pay in (unless, as we were, you are staying in the house already :-)), and in case of sudden rain (always a risk in Ireland) there is an indoor play area. In a kind of cave in the café, there is also a nice little shop, with classic kids toys, rocks and crystals, souvenirs and more, and for the grown-ups, there are some intriguing local artworks around. We found all staff pleasant, and some excellent.
The first part of the garden is more formal, with lots of little paths, and multiple "reading nooks" - a great idea! There is also a real kitchen garden. But the best bit comes when you open a discreet door and go further.. across a quiet road (but it is a real public road, so go carefully) and on into the main woodland garden. This is beautiful, with a wide range of planting, a pond and streams, multiple recreations of old housing (Viking, Native American, etc.), bridges, and, the kids' favourite, many fairy houses. The owners have devised excellent information panels, and you can wander around for a good chunk of time. Recommended (by the way, near the Waterford-Wexford Ferry, and multiple other Hook Head attractions).
