My artist husband and I (both retired) had a magical peaceful week in this lovely gracious house in picture postcard east Wicklow less than ten minutes drive from Rathdrum Village. The house is extremely comfortable with easy on the eye views over its lush well planted gardens and it's variety of trees, bounded below by a section of the Avonbeg River and neighbouring pasture. David the host is extremely helpful and always prompt with return communication. We were there in April and the amazing variety of birds were in full song, especially for the dawn chorus which became the highlight of our days. The well stocked wood burning stove fire in the drawing room was a gift for the sometimes chilly evenings. The kitchen is very well stocked with a plentiful array of cooking and serving equipment. Perhaps be prepared for the absence of a dishwasher. It is our firm intention to return as often as we possibly can to this delightful treat of a retreat.
