Would highly recommend the Old Deanery for any group trip, after spending a weekend there. Bryanna was so welcoming and made sure we were all well looked after. The cottages were very comfortable, each had a kitchen and all bedrooms had en suites - ideal for a hen party! The communal spaces in the barn and courtyard were great for group activities. Having the entire place to ourselves was fantastic and really added to the whole experience, especially as it was so homely and picturesque. 10/10

I am very happy to recommend The Old Deanery in Ferns to anyone looking for a break away from the norm, especially in these difficult Covid-19 times. I have just returned from a most enjoyable hen party at the venue and cannot imagine anywhere more suitable or more fun. From start to finish we found the accommodation and facilities to be excellent. The present, but never intrusive, owners were available whenever we had a query and really made every effort to ensure that the weekend was a success. The accommodation was lovely – plenty of room to keep socially distant – and charming and it was obvious that the cleaning crew take great pride in their work. The facilities outside were ‘magic’ – lots of little nooks and a central courtyard which allowed for gatherings and craic. There was also a large dining room (owners recommended an excellent caterer for us) and an outside covered area as well. The beautiful grounds provided the ideal showcase for our outdoor games and a yoga class (again organised through the owners of the property) was much enjoyed. Various add-ons can be organised for visitors and the cocktail reception on our first night got us off to a great start. A menu of available packages will ensure that everyone finds something they enjoy. We had complete freedom to make the most of this fantastic venue and although it’s really so good that I’d like to keep it to myself I really do feel I should share the joy and let others know about this ‘little gem’ in Wexford. From ’clan gatherings’, to hen parties, to re-unions . . . any event will be made all the more special at The Old Deanery.
