Derrybawn was simply a magical stay. If you’re looking the perfect location for exploring the beautiful area of Glendalough I couldn’t recommend Andrew’s place any higher.

The cabin itself was perfect. The facilities catered to our every need for preparing our meals for our hiking trips during the day in addition to our evening meals. The cabin was extremely cosy and truly felt like a home away from home. With regards to location, the cabin could not have been more conveniently situated near hiking trails within the national park. The cabin itself is a short and extremely pleasant walk away from the closest village Laragh where you can go for lunch or dinner or simply grab a coffee in their charming local cafe!
As a host, Andrew was amazing. From kindly leaving a bottle of wine on arrival to recommending nearby hikes, wild swimming spots and walking trails within the area. Andrew truly went above and beyond to make our time at Derrybawn an experience we will remember. When we had any questions or queries Andrew sorted these immediately. We will always remember Andrew’s generosity and of-course can’t forget about River his gorgeous dog!
If you are looking for a peaceful stay to truly escape and immerse yourself in the beautiful landscape of Glendalough then look no further. We can only describe our time at Derrybawn as epic. We hope to return here in the very near future for more amazing hikes that this incredible place has to offer.
