We really enjoyed our stay and found the property perfect for our needs. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed there to enjoy our holiday. Our boys loved the pool table and the large garden for playing football in! The host was great to communicate with and met us when we arrived to show us the property. We would definitely return if we found ourselves in the area again.

Amazing property

The host was extremely friendly courteous and communicated well. The property was beautiful clean and had everything we needed. They also had a cow pasture behind us and the cows were adorable. The property was extremely clean and well-equipped for our stay. Would definitely recommend this property for folks that want to stay outside Dublin.

Excellent. Everything you could possibly need is at the house. Brian lives next door to answer questions and it’s exceptionally helpful and gracious. There is a local pub, the Friel that serves good affordable ford, and a Tesco about 3 miles away. Great location, peaceful and a perfect family holiday.

Lovely house in a great location

The property was spotlessly clean, very well-equipped and comfortable. We really enjoyed having the pool table! The location is great - peaceful and calm but with easy access to towns round about, and great public transport into Dublin. The property owners were communicative, friendly and very helpful. Would recommend!

Amazing Place

This is in a beautiful and quiet location. It has everything you could need for self catering. A large stunning garden area so excellent for families. Having the games room was a definite plus and my kids spent less time on their phones and more time practicing their pool & dart skills. The owner Brian was very welcoming, would definitely stay again.

Perfect base for Dublin and Wicklow

We had a wonderful stay while taking day trips to Dublin, Glendalough, and Powerscourt. Enjoyed watching the cows out our window and playing pool. You need a car but 15 min drive to train station provided easy access to Dublin Center. Ideal spot to relax and still have plenty to do. Unique cottage and perfect host.
