We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Penarwel and just loved the peace and tranquility afforded by the fabulous location. Nicely isolated, surrounded by mature trees and greenery, yet only 10 mins drive to Rathdrum for Centra store, few take-away etc. Tesco & Lidl in Arklow for bigger shop about 25 mins drive away. We were blessed with very good weather during our stay, and we were able to enjoy all that Co Wicklow has to offer. The house was comfortable and spacious for all 4 of us with all amenities, except a dishwasher (which wasn't a deal-breaker for us!). David the host was quickly responsive via email and provided clear directions/check-in arrangements.
Ann & Seamus the caretakers were also very nice but thankfully we didn't have to bother them. We had a fab holiday and would highly recommend.
