Mount Usher is a wonderful place to stay - full of charm, history and character. It's a perfect place to relax and enjoy Katherine's hospitality - our room was very clean and comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. Staying in the center of Mount Usher gardens is something very special as they are amazing any time of year. There are good restaurants and coffee shops all within walking distance (we recommend Chester Beatty's for an evening meal), and the house is ideally located to many of the must see tourist attractions (Glendalough, Powerscourt House and Gardens etc etc). Katherine was a most welcoming host and we enjoyed our stay so much we have already booked a return visit.
