A small village just outside Wexford town, home to a striking Pugin-designed church and a ruined Norman tower house.
Barntown is a small village a few kilometres outside Wexford town, in the quiet farmland of east Wexford. Its landmark is St Alphonsus Church, designed by the noted architect Augustus Welby Pugin and built in 1848, and the ruins of Barntown Castle, a Norman tower house raised by the Roche family in the 15th or 16th century as a watchtower for nearby Ferrycarrig Castle, stand just outside the village.
A B&B in Barntown suits visitors who want a quiet countryside base within a few minutes of Wexford town, with its Norman streets, quays and restaurants, and the county’s beaches close by.

Booking Glen Hill direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Glen Hill holds a 3-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
