Rooms are generously proportioned and feature contemporary furnishings and decorations.
A range of room styles is available, including doubles, twins, singles, and triples.

3. Seafield Hotel & Spa Resort
With a choice between deluxe or executive, Seafield has provided everything you need, and nothing you need to stress over. There’s no difficult decisions to be made here, simply that of the view; parkland, beach, or Tara Hill?
Of course, if you’re travelling with friends or family, you can always book one of their two or three-bedroom suites, and all relax together in private. When it comes to unwinding, you can’t go past their Oceo spa for utter decadence and pampering.
Then, when it’s time, make your way to the Greenroom Restaurant for a culinary award-winning dining experience. If you’re looking for spa hotels in Gorey to kick-back in for a night or three, this is a great option.
4. Woodleigh Lodge
Understated elegance and privacy, just outside of Courtown (8 minutes from Gorey) and near Courtown Beach and its sweeping sands, Woodleigh offers world-class service in a private setting.
Each room is tastefully decorated with neutral or seascape tones, and offers comfortable beds to ensure you a great night’s sleep. Breakfast is offered as part of your package, and you can choose from either a Full Irish or something lighter.
There is also ample parking and you’re a short stroll away from many of the best things to do in Courtown, like Courtown Woods and the Seal Rescue Ireland Visitor Centre.
5. Amber Springs Hotel
Located halfway between Dublin and Wexford Town, Amber Springs is ideal for visiting all of the east coast attractions; it’s easy to see why Amber Springs was voted one of the best family friendly hotels in Ireland.
With numerous child-friendly activities that the whole family can enjoy, it comes as no surprise that the accommodations are equally inviting. Choose from their deluxe or superior executive in either standard or family configurations.
Don’t forget to dine at Amber Springs’ award-winning restaurant, where you’ll be treated to exceptional plates of locally grown produce, served with the same style and flair throughout the hotel.

6. Tara Hill Estate
If you’re looking to try glamping in Wexford, look no further than the incredible Tara Hill Estate.
Escape to the wild with Ireland’s only ‘wild rooms’, or if you’re less inclined there’s always the Tara Hill Estate Lodge where you can while away the hours in comfort.
Each of the estate’s Wild Rooms offers unparalleled comfort whilst appreciating the natural beauty and ruggedness of the Irish coastline. Stargaze from your king-size bed, luxuriate in the hot waterfall shower and unwind to the sound of the breaking waves.
Alternatively, retreat to the cosy double bed inside the lodge where you can tuck yourself up in comforting luxury and country styling. A wrought iron staircase leads to the private mezzanine bedroom with its skylight.
7. The Dales
Nestled in a tiny hamlet just north of Gorey, the Dales B&B is everything you’d expect from a country bed and breakfast; romantic setting, tastefully decorated and well-appointed rooms with luxuriant bathrooms, indulgent menu, and even a four-poster bed!
