We spent a week at this property over christmas. There were 12 people in our party and we had the main house and the apartment. (we were supposed to have the log cabin as well, but there was an awful smell (? mildew) so we could not have anyone stay there).
The good things about the property are : It is very large and we could have all 12 of us sit down to meals in the kitchen or the dining room. We kept the heat on (at the host's suggestion) and the house was never cold. The house was nicely decorated for christmas and looked very festive. The location is ideal for exploring wicklow and the directions made it easy to find. The gardens are pretty.
The disappointments included: ovens that had not been cleaned before we arrived, water pressure that was turned off from 9PM to 6 AM, which made the 3rd bathroom at the top of the house unusable at night. The pressure turns off, because it makes noise in the apartment and my brother did report that he was woken every morning at 6 AM in the apartment when the pressurizer came back on. There were also light bulbs burnt out in every room. I was maybe too ambitious and attempted to cook christmas dinner in the kitchen of the main house. Unfortunately there was only one frying pan that did not have the bottom burnt and no measuring cups or measuring spoons. There were plenty of plates and bowls but too few mugs and wine glasses.
This house is a grand old property that could benefit from some maintenance. In total we paid $850 per night and for that price expected more from the property.
