If you are looking for a charming, cozy space, a stones-throw from history, Crow’s Hermitage is it. We loved being right next door to the 12th century abbey, and waking up to such an amazing view each morning. To be allowed to walk around in the abbey ruins was such a treat! It’s is a 30 minute drive outside of Dublin, so if you are looking to be off the beaten path just a bit (as we were), this will work very well. Crow’s Hermitage was exactly what I hoped it would be, and even more charming than the pictures.
