We had a very pleasant stay in the Gate Lodge, which is clean and comfortable. It's incredibly well-located in the village, opposite a food shop and a beauty spot on the river. Literally just around the corner are the immensely characterful Osborne's Bar, and Sha-Roe Bistro. It's highly recommended to book to eat at the latter, which is deservedly popular. In all, the Gate Lodge was a great base from which to explore the beautiful Counties of Carlow, Wexford and Wicklow.
