We really loved staying here and Margaret was an amazing and helpful host and very responsive, whether it was giving us the number for a local taxi or posting my top when she discovered that I had left it behind! You can walk down the hill to the village of Avoca in ten minutes (I enjoyed my visit to the Avoca Mill factory), yet when you’re in the house it feels beautifully secluded. Glendalough is 30 minutes drive away and is a beautiful place to walk.
