Divers will enjoy the coast between Camsore Point to Hook Head, where the sea contains the wrecks of many ships.

Reviews of Tuskar
"The location was superb, close to the ferry and plenty of wonderful scenery. The people were so pleasant and friendly everywhere we went. The cottage was great and the owner couldn't have been more helpful. It was wonderful to wake up and look out on to a field of beautiful horses and foals. Can't wait to go there again."

"Tuskar Cottage is one of a row of 5 cottages at Mill Road Farm in Kilmore Quay, County Wexford. Comfortably furnished for 3 people with all appliances necessary for a self catering holiday with the bonus of a dishwasher and washing machine and free wifi, almost essential for a gaming 9 year old. Our stay started off well with a plate of fresh scones waiting on our arrival. Although the farmyard is right behind the cottages there was no noise and the farmer was happy for us to watch milking time when we asked. The cottage is located very conveniently for Kilmore Quay, just a mile or two from the harbour full of fishing boats and the village is very pretty with thatched and whitewashed cottages, several places to eat and small shop for self catering. The locals are very friendly and helpful. Recommend a visit to the Saltees Island by boat to view the sea bird nesting colonies and spectacular views but to be aware of limited numbers allowed each day. Recommend this cottage for a summer or winter break as fitted with central heating for colder seasons, would return for another break if we were travelling this part of Ireland again."
