Flawless. If you think this cottage looks authentic and friendly- it's because that's just what it is, and it's a true reflection of its owners who will greet you with a genuine offer of care and what ever level of attention you require during your stay. Nestled in midst of working farms in breathtaking Wicklow scenery this cottage is an obvious labour of love for its owners. It was a privilege to experience it with my family. It's a combination of great craftsmanship, with cut stone and plaster, quality building with attention to detail and tasteful and well chosen interior design. Quite simply, this has to be about as close as you will ever get to experience a real and authentic traditional Irish cottage- with comfort and conveniences. Our kids absolutely loved it and although we live in the country at home they got a great kick from the flock of nosy hens, the crazy goats and the other more mildly mannered farm animals that make up part of the experience. Loads to do and see in the area and a comprehnsive guide awaits to help fill your itinerary, if that's what you need. If you wanted to go somewhere to read a few books, or write your own, this place would be perfect too. Aughrim is just two minutes away by car or a short bike ride. The cafe and takeaway options in Aughrim are top notch and despite the fact that there is excellent cooking facilities in the cottage, without shame, we took the easy food options for our short stay. There's a lovely hiker's walk up the hill and down a tree lined valley, but make sure you leave your mucky books outside the door when you get back- you'll know what I mean when you see the beautiful interior. We left with a dozen free range eggs in our boot from Kyle, the friendly flocks-man, feeling privileged of the experience. A great first time experience for us and Airbnb too.
