Leading the pack in terms of ratings from another reputed online accommodation booking agency, Expedia, is a Rosslare
country house, Churchtown House. Featuring extensive parklands, the Rosslare Harbour property is in close proximity to
both Rosslare Beach and Rosslare Europort. Whites of Wexford, a business property with a full-service health spa located
in central Wexford, is also highly recommended.

According to the
Sunday Times Green List 2009, the Marriott Hotel chain has another reason to pat themselves on the back,
and this time in reference to the accolade of being the top environmentally friendly
London hotel
chain. In a list of the '60
Best Green Companies' Marriott Hotels came in at position no. 17 overall, and first in the hotel sector. Let's just hope that
other hotels, both large and small-scale ventures, can follow this lead and have a greater presence in the Green List for
2010!
