    When we arrived we found that thee was no power in the property, but unknown to us the owner had sent me a couple of emails informing me of the situation, the room he gave us was nice with a private balcony , it was clean if a bit dated , bed was comfortable, breakfast was good with all the bits and pieces you would expect to be there , there .

    nothing relly we were very happy.

    The location although a little remote was ideal for us for traveling to Wicklow early next morning.. We spent the night in a cabin at the rear of the house which was different a little small,but had everything that we required. breakfast was arranged early and again met with our approval and ample helpings. The hosts were great and very helpful with advice etc all in all a nice experience.

    Nothing to dislike about this little gem in Greenane among the Wicklow hills!!

    There's absolutely nothing to not like about this lovely B & B.!! The hosts were very welcoming on our arrival & I apologise that we unfortunately didn't get their names!!😊😊 Lovely quiet location with no noise pollution whatsoever. The birdsong is unbelievable here. 🎶The bedroom & bathroom were spotlessly clean with white fluffy towels supplied & a great electric shower!! The bed was really comfy also & the rooms were a lovely comfortable temperature at all times.. Fresh bottles of drinking water & tea/coffee making facilities also available in the rooms. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic. A buffet with the usual, cereals, juices,(orange,grapefruit, cranberry & iced water ),yogurt,fresh fruit & a piping hot Irish Breakfast consisting of fried egg ,sausage, bacon,white pudding, grilled tomato🍅 & mushrooms 🍄 . Vegetarian options also available along with pancakes & syrup,scrambled egg etc,etc. As much,tea,coffee,toast & homemade soda bread as you need. The attention to detail in the dining room is also to be complimented. Lovely little lounge to chill out in the evenings with TV,books & some childrens board games etc Also if booking room 6 a private balcony is included for summer dining if weather permits!! 😊😊

    There was a large cupboard outside our room with the cleaning stuff and sheets etc. from quite early (one time 7.30am) someone was going into the cupboards repeatedly and the doors were banging. Tough to wake up that early when you were hoping for another hours Kip! But the owner said he would put those soft cushions on the doors and I think he did- I bought some earplugs so I can’t confirm if that helped. The double bed felt a bit small, the room is big and I think could house a larger one. But it was cosy.

    Very charming, a proper BnB and felt very homely. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, especially considering the ‘child’ (shes 17) was free. Tom and Sam were great hosts. Was great to have a lounge to sit in with a cuppa at the end of the day and not to have to stay in the room. Beds were very comfortable (although the double felt small compared to our king size at home) and the room was quiet and very dark. The power shower was great and always hot water.

    Noisy shower but really not the end of the world.

    Exactly as described. Spent 2 nights here as a base for work and no complaints at all. It is small but with 2 dogs in tow it was still perfectly adequate. Kettle and microwave provided and a lovely hot shower. Would certainly be back. Thank you.

    We stayed a night in the 1 bedroom cabin with our dog, it was lovely and warm when we arrived. The bed is so comfortable and the shower was powerful and hot. The cabin looks out onto a large grassy area which is great for the dog. There are good facilities in the cabin, a kettle, a microwave and a small fridge. They also provide toiletries in the bathroom! Lots of parking space available and there is a small town about 10 min drive with shops and takeaways. Would definitely recommend staying!
