If you plan on an overnight in Glendalough, or are looking for something different close to Dublin, I'd definitely recommend staying here. Best place I stayed in quite some time- never experienced anything like it. Exactly what I was looking for and more. So peaceful, but very near to the National Park and the hotel etc. Having parked right across from the entrance, I arrived through the little courtyard to the accommodation where there was a stove lighted and some goodies to have with coffee. Great set up with everything you need and lots of cool bits and pieces and great luxury touches. The owner renovated the place himself and it is a very tasteful renovation. Very comfy sofa/bed..hotel quality sheets and lovely chair to read by the fire. Hard to believe I was only 45 minutes from the Big smoke. Great shower, brand new, with really good toiletries and towels. You get access to the outside gardens also. The upper garden looks right over at the round tower and there are the coolest swing chairs to sit in and admire the view in the morning. Will book in for a few days next visit, and try out the outdoor fire pit, this looks like the perfect place to chill out after a day's walking or touring. I stayed one night but it really felt like a break away and was very good value for a real 'experience' and a comfortable stay. The host was very helpful. Would definitely recommend.
