We had an amazing stay at Aoife’s lovely B&B. Aoife offered to pick us up after our long hike and even showed us some of the local attractions – the beautiful Lough Tay where the TV series Vikings was filmed.
Her house is gorgeous, very modern, bright, colourful and spacious. The view from the living room is spectacular – we could see the lakes, the mountains and her horse in the garden. We were greeted with a cup of (organic) tea and spent the whole evening in front of the fireplace. Her B&B has different types of rooms. We stayed in the “dorm”, the biggest room with 7 beds. However, there are also double and ensuite rooms available. The room was bright and spacious with a bedside table and a reading light for every bed. The beds were very comfortable and we slept very well after a day full of hiking. She provided us with towels, shampoo and showering gel and even a hair dryer. She also offered to dry our shoes and jackets. The bathrooms were fully equipped (the shower jet had the perfect pressure!) and very clean.
Aoife is a lovely and attentive host. She also loves cooking and is a fantastic cook. She only uses organic and high quality products. She prepared a delicious 3-course-dinner in the evening. Ask for her vegetarian, gluten- or dairy-free options! We had a lovely vegetarian dinner, consisting of a vegetable soup with brown bread, chili with rice and homemade banana bread and chocolate chip cookies. In the morning, she prepared a full (vegetarian) Irish breakfast with baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, scrambled eggs, homemade brown bread, toast, jam, marmalade, different types of cereals, yogurt and a fruit. There was also a “tea bar” in the living room with a huge variety of different types of tea and a big jug of fruit infused water.
Aoife’s B&B is perfectly located for exploring the Wicklow Mountains. Glendalough, Enniskerry, Powerscourt Garden and the Wicklow Way are nearby.
We had a perfect stay at Lus Mór and we will definitely come back. Thank you, Aoife!
