    The best Bed and Breakfast in Wicklow by far!
    • Business trip

    • Single Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I can honestly say that there wasn't a thing that I didn't like.

    Daphne was an incredibly lovely host who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. She accommodated my request for a vegan breakfast without any hesitation, provided great advice for an evening meal, and would have provided me with a packed lunch as well if I had wanted. The residents lounge was a lovely area to relax and meet other guests. The property including the garden are beautiful and steeped in history. I was expecting only a simple room but it far exceeded this. The bed and room were cosy and comfortable with a very will appointed en suite. I had a wonderful view overlooking the garden and valley and was woken by the sound of the dawn chorus which was fabulous. I travel a good bit and must say that I was blown away with how amazing this place (and Daphne) was. It was reflected when talking to other repeat guests and with Daphne herself of course. If you have found this review and are undecided where to stay for your visit to Wicklow, I can truly tell you to stop searching and BOOK YOUR STAY NOW!

    One of the best stays in our two weeks in Ireland.

    Nothing really. There was a limited supply of restaurants in the town but that was mostly due to the season and day that we arrived, but the two that were open were very nice and very close by for walking.

    Daphne has been at this for apparently 24 years and knows what she's doing. Everything was perfect and the breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. Decor in our large room was modern and tasteful and the shower was good. Bed was large and comfy. Quite a few things to do in the area if you have a car and are willing to drive 15 or 20 minutes.

    Daphne, the host, is very welcoming. Room cosy and spotless. Very handy for sightseeing and hiking. I had my car with me but they provide a shuttle here for hikers. Breakfast was exceptional, I have stayed here before and the standards are top notch.

    A bit noisy with the traffic on the main road but not enough to wake us up.

    Daphne was very kind and welcoming. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated with super comfy beds ! The breakfast was excellent ! We tried the full Irish breakfast and the blueberry pancakes. Perfect stay well located to visit Glendalough and the Wicklow mountains.
