Wicklow is rich in history and breathtaking scenery. The area is perfect for visitor that want to get away from the crowds and enjoy peace and quiet because Wicklow West is not well known and thinly populated.

This was a lovely place to stay. The kitchen was very well equipped even down to dishwasher tablets... Towels were provided and the lady on reception was lovely. Very relaxing. only 2 things to complain about.. no phone reception ( but thats probably my network) and no patio furniture( the weather was very hot and the accommodation had a patio area)

The house was perfect for our needs (family with 2 children and 2 additional guests). I was very pleased to see how complete the house was, with several bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. The only item that did not work was the TV, but it did not bother us. Great service that the heating was already switched on before we arrived, a great welcome! We are definitely considering returning in summer.
