Penerwel is a lovely house in a rustic setting. The ceiling to floor windows in the dining room and sitting room give a great view of the tree-filled garden and there is a nice terrace where you can relax to the sound of the nearby river. The house is nicely decorated with wall hangings and original paintings and there are some interesting old items such as a weight-balance kitchen scales. the only mod-con missing is a dishwasher. There is not much within walking distance, so a car is essential and it is a good base from which to explore the many wonderful locations in Wicklow.
