The Lodge is absolutely beautiful set in wonderful landscaped grounds. We were picked up from the Wicklow away as we got a bit lost. Had a great 3 course meal at night and a lovely breakfast in the garden the day we left. Thanks for the great hospitality.

Ensuite facilities would be great, but property probably can't do anything about this.

A special place. House lovely, lots of interest. Friendly, helpful people. Flexibility and food appreciated. Extremely cosy beds. Easy access to shower, and toilet always available. Wonderfully peaceful.

Sean and Patricia were attentive hosts. They shared stories about the region and their lovely home and made us feel very welcome. The grounds are lovely and you should be sure to explore the gardens. The food was superb. Have dinner there! They are also right off the wicklow way

Nothing was omitted ! It is clear they like the stimulation of meeting travelers, engaging with them, and entertaining.

The hosts at Ballyteige were marvelous ! They oriented us to the property giving us a tour, carried bags to our room, gave use tea for the night and a invited use to a fire in the parlor where other guests were dining. The property itself was beautiful, and magical with an English garden maintained by both Sean and Patricia. They provided a lovely breakfast morning including the day we left early for the airport. They also provided dinner each evening if requested and accommodated dietary needs. This is a must stay for anyone interested in the Wicklow Way hike as well as others interested in the town of Wicklow and surrounding areas. Patricia in a great cook and gardener, while Sean is a very friendly host and humorous story teller.

Breakfast was great and Sean prepared it early, because we had to leave early. A great address and we hope to visit again soon

I didn't like bothering the owners with requests for tea. It would be nice if they set aside a tea-making area so guests could make their own tea.

The owners could not have been more hospitable - putting down lovely fires, bringing trays of tea, and taking the time to talk to us. I greatly appreciated their kindness. The house has a lot of character. Guests have access to a lovely sitting/dining room. Dinner is available for an extra charge. My room was a good size and comfortable. My bathroom was across the hall. I would have preferred an en-suite but, on the other hand, no en-suite would have been as lovely as this bathroom with a very large window overlooking a beautiful lawn. Ballyteige Lodge has a great location near the Wicklow Way. It is an interesting place to stay. I am glad I had that opportunity. I would happily stay there again.

Sean was very welcoming and very helpful to help us prepare our trip for the next days. The food is fantastic.

The pillows were a little bit uncomfortable and it was a bit cold at times but that was just because it was an old house.

The breakfast was lovely every morning. The hosts were so nice,welcoming and full of knowledge. The house was amazing.

Gorgeous period house in the heart of the Wicklow mountains. Your host, Sean, is very friendly and entertaining. His supper deserves a try too. In short: brilliant. Small note for improvement: pillows should be thicker.

A bit cold, no central heating on, fire only lit upon arrival. Having to need an electric blanket!

The ambience of the house (inside & out) & grounds.

My only comment would be to add some tea making facilities to the rooms.

Stunning location in the heart of the valley and a beautiful house. Large rooms and the hosts were fantastic and went out of their way to make you feel welcome in their home.

Extremely accommodating hosts, an excellent evening meal and breakfast next to the open hearth, with wonderful views over the gardens. The (listed) house is genteel, rich in history and superbly preserved in a remote, quiet and beautiful location. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Rooms were slightly on the chilly side so would advise wrapping up warm.

Dinner and Breakfast were absolutely fantastic, delicious home cooked cuisine. The bed was very comfortable and our Labrador Retriever was welcomed. The character of the lodge is fabulous and Sean & Patricia are exceptional hosts. We can’t wait to return for another visit.

Excellent food and service.

We loved everything but if you want phone reception, you won't love that!

Comfortable, private and beautiful, this is a real getaway. Grounds stunning, host friendly and full of information and ideas. Meals available in atmospheric old dining room, food was absolutely delicious and plentiful.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful historic lodge along the Wicklow Way. We were quickly warmed at one fireplace and were served an elegant and delicious dinner before another. The bedroom was spacious and quiet. Sean is a friendly and gracious host.

Hands down our best experience on the Wicklow Way. It's like staying in a magical castle in the middle of nowhere (no phone reception! Though reliable WiFi is available). Beautiful property with an interesting history - we especially enjoyed sitting by the fire, cuddling the friendly dog. There are also two lovely donkeys and a nice garden to explore. Dinner is available on request and the host cooked us a delicious three-course meal and was able to fully accommodate our dietary requirements (vegan). We will remember this place for a long time.

Stunning property, hidden in the hills of the Irish countryside and everything from the warm welcome to the walks around the gardens were exceptional.

It was a bit cold in the house, but the extra duvets on the bed made it cosy.

The house and gardens are really beautiful (and have an interesting history!) and Sean and Quilla the dog were very friendly hosts. The location is a bit remote, but that's what made our stay even more relaxing. Sean is also really helpful and recommended some nice walks in the Wicklow Mountains. We even ended up getting engaged during one of these walks :-)

Wish I stay there for longer!

Place allows dogs which is why we chose it in the first place. Considering you are staying in period house that is lovingly restored, this is great value for money and not too hotely. For example there is no TV, or ensuite or kettle in the bedrooms which is great as the rooms are not altered in any way. The beds are queen size and are extremely comfortable. The fact that there are four bedrooms makes you use the reception and dining room for meeting the other guests. Buster also loved it and it was the first time he started playing with other dogs (rescue dog). The owner was interesting and chatty, and wasn't too fussy which made us feel at home. Breakfast is really good esp the scrambled egg. He provides a good spread of homemade jams and fresh bread, and also does packed lunches on request. The coffee is also top notch. We walked around the grounds and forests which was also very nice. It was a great place to stay, underrated for what you experience and great value for the price considering you staying in such a period building that hasn't been altered in any way. Highly recommend!

Koula the dog is amazing.

The house was unusual and extraordinary. The grounds were beautiful. The rooms were spacious and attractive with lovely views. The host was great and made us and our dog very welcome.

The mattress was very supportive but a bit too firm. My husband didn't like that the bathroom wasn't en-suite (it didn't bother me).
