Detailed Reviews
Staying at the Woodlands is like walking into a storybook. The accommodations are very comfortable, beautiful and lush. The surrounding gardens are gorgeous. Breakfast is filled with many choices and the starters are often homemade from the fruits of the gardens. The hosts are delightful and full of helpful advice about traveling in their neighborhood. Ask about the house being "haunted".

In May, we took our first trip to Ireland and if you believe in fate, fate put us in the hands of Philomena and John O'Sullivan. We booked online to stay at their B&B and it was the best decision of the entire trip. My husband says she made the best scones in Ireland.
The welcome was warm and the accommodations were all that we could have desired. We particularly remember sitting in the parlor, hearing the soft Irish music in the background and listening to Ms Philomena tell us the story of her home. It was a magic moment; we had many in Ireland. But I wish I had taped this one.
The grounds are beautiful and the location is very close to the M11/N11, we would definitely stay again.

Highly recommend this B and B, the staff and the service are great, clean facilities and a wonderful array of food served at breakfast with home made bread and scones.......delicious!! You would be silly not to stay here. Perfect for access to Gorey and surrounding areas, really easy to find off the motorway. Book it! :-)

We stayed here recently for one night and we had a lovely break. The house is really beautiful and grounds are lovely. We went for a meal in Chill in Gorey which served really good food and we had an excellent breakfast in Woodlands House the next morning. The bedrooms are beautiful, staff very welcoming and the sleep quality is excellent, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

This is the best B&B I have stayed in in Ireland. We were greeted with homemade scones and coffee, the room was charming, and we were made to feel exceptionally welcome by Philomena. It is a beautiful place to stay and I'd highly recommend it.

Myself and my sister stayed in Woodlands last week, as we were doing some Genealogical research locally. Philomena, John, Ciara and Marcetta (Oops, sorry if spelt incorrectly) just made our stay absolutely fantastic. Woodlands is a little gem, I have no hesitation in highly recommending a stay here.
We will definitely be back.

Arriving at this beautiful old world house, we were treated to a selection of cheeses with home made chutneys, we were made to feel totally at home. The Ambience was set with beautiful background music and scented candles. During our over night stay we enjoyed the mature gardens with water features. The breakfast served was excellent, with home made pancakes and maple syprup. A real experience. Felt totally spoiled by staff will definitely return

We first stayed at Woodlands about 15 years ago and liked it so much we always hoped to return. We're pleased to say it's now even better. Philomena's welcome was as warm as we remembered and she regaled us with tales of Wexford as we enjoyed her fresh scones and tea. The room was lovely with a very comforable bed and fresh whte linen. The breakfast next morning wasexcellent with a very wide choice of fresh fruits, yoghurts etc and a cooked breakfast. The setting is peaceful and relaxing and we were sorry to leave but I'm sure we'll be back - we won't leave it another 15 years!

I selected Woodlands Country House because I was looking for a small, quiet town and a B & B which was off the beaten track with walking paths nearby. I was enchanted with Woodlands Country House! It was everything I had hoped it would be. I cannot think of one thing I would change about this B & B! It is a beautiful home located on a quiet street. Philomena plays Irish music throughout the house and burns candles so it always feels warm and welcoming. The rooms are spotless. I honestly think these are the most comfortable beds in all of Ireland! I never wanted to get out of bed in the morning. But then I would remember the breakfast which was waiting downstairs. The breakfast is a huge feast! There are so many choices, you could eat for hours if you wanted to. You are presented with a menu to select an entree, which is pretty amazing considering there are long tables filled with at least 15 different fresh fruits, cereals, baked goods, cheeses, juices, etc., just waiting for you to pick them up! Tea/coffee/toast and scones with jam are brought to you as soon as you sit down. But then you also get to select a fabulous sounding entree! I ordered the omelette with veggies and cheese every single morning it was so good! Once you are finished with consuming everything in sight, you can take advantage of the wooded path 100 yards from the house. This was my favorite place to go everyday and sometimes I walked the woodland path two and three times a day. It is quiet with streams, beautiful trees and is completely peaceful. You can also walk into the small town about 15 minutes away where there is a church, pub, school and a small convenience store. It is probably better if you have a rental car while staying here, but I used a taxi to get to Woodlands Country House and that worked just fine. Philomena and her husband even drove me into town one night so I could attend the local theatre production. This is also a wonderful place for children to stay. The grounds of Woodlands Country House has a tennis court, basketball hoop, a pond, a full stream, woods and another walking path. There are green hills in the side and backyards which young children would love to run on. It is a perfectly safe environment for children. I wish I could return to Ireland every year and stay at the Woodlands Country House! I stayed 3 nights this time, but next time would much prefer to stay an entire week as it was the most peaceful and relaxing experience of my entire trip to Ireland!
