The setting was wonderful and the welcome and advice on what to see around were great. This was our first night on a weeks touring trip so these things were very important.

The dining room is very bright with large windows looking out over the large landscaped garden and Wicklow countryside.  Choose from the extensive and tasty breakfast menu, which also caters for vegetarians.
The non-smoking property was even the location of the TV hit ‘Ballykissangel’.  Once you visit this wonderful and welcoming home - you’ll see why.
