Just spent 3 nights at this magical place without fault. If peace and tranquility is what you need - look no further... plus your doggie is welcome!
Ben and Richard are fantastic hosts, warm and friendly... and always on the end of a text with loads of helpful info on the area and surroundings.
The cabin has all the utensils and pans needed for cooking up some rustic grub to make your country stay feel truly authentic although on the final night we collected a takeaway on the way back to the cabin after a day of sightseeing. Asian takeaway in Blessington called Tikka was really tasty. West Wicklow House pub there has a good dog friendly beer garden too!
The bedroom window has a beautiful view to wake up to and the freestanding bath is a piece of heaven.
The peat fired hot tub was a delight after putting the work in to get it going, its worth it. Sitting in there with a cold drink and the sound of silence all around is golden when you're used to city life.
Our dog stayed here with us and she loved sniffing around and pottering about the place. She didn't bother the nearby sheep but be aware if you bring a dog that you should make sure you keep it under control as livestock just roam around the grounds outside.
20 min drive takes you to viewpoints for Lough Tay (aka Guinness lake) and Lugalla estate. It was a scenic drive up through the mountains and we stopped and picked some Wicklow Heather to plant when home.
Powerscourt waterfall and estate is also near and worth seeing. Also visited Glendalough which was beautiful...
Highly recommend this place and hope to return some time!
