Although we did not get to meet Angela, communication with Angela was always very prompt. Angela very kindly blocked off the previous night to our arrival knowing we had an early morning flight into Dublin from Australia. This allowed us early arrival, something we very much appreciated. Padraig arrived very shortly after we arrived and explained the workings of the Cottage. Padraig was very welcoming.
The location of the Cottage is excellent for exploring Co Wicklow, we visited Glendalough, Powerscourt, Killruddery, walked from Greystones to Bray and then caught the train back to Greystones, Mt Usher Gardens, Botanic Gardens Kilmacurragh, Avoca (Ballykissangel), Sally Gap, Wicklow Gap, Military Rd, as far south as Arklow also Woodenbridge, Aughrim etc all within easy driving distance.
There is a good little supermarket and butchers in Roundwood and a large supermarket in Newtonmountkennedy.
Internet connection good. A quiet rural location.
There was just one thing with staying there for a week, there was no freezer section to the fridge. Angela had left bread butter milk and juice.
The kitchen had all the utensils to cook evening meals.
