“Excellent”
I had a wonderful stay at this property. The room was spacious, spotless, and very well maintained, with a beautiful view from the window that made the stay even more enjoyable. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The breakfast she prepared was absolutely delicious and one of the highlights of my stay. The location is also very convenient, as it is not too far into the interior and offers easy access to nearby areas and amenities. Overall, I highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again.

“A piece of Heaven with the service to match.”
Tranquility, proximity to Wicklow Mountain National Park. Fresh scones in the morning!! Care to every detail. One of the most comfortable beds ever. Can’t fault a thing.

“Exceptional in all aspects 🤩🤩🤩”
Best B&B we ever stayed in (and we travel a lot). Location is superb, breakfast is amazing (freshly baked scones!), attention to detail is impeccable. You have a table in the room with crockery, cutlery, as well as a lot of other things that might be useful (toiletries etc). You could easily stay here for a longer period even if it’s not a self catering accommodation. The host is very welcoming and discreet. She noticed if discarded raisins from my scone and the next day she made me one without. Just WOW 🤩

The location is beautiful, the rooms were decorated with taste and the beds super comfortable. One of us is vegan and the host managed to still cook a delicious breakfast for all of us, which we appreciated a lot.

“Best B&B in Ireland !!”
It was absolutely perfect!! Out of all the hotels and B&Bs I’ve had the chance to stay in across Ireland, this one is by far the best! The room was very spacious, with a dedicated “vanity area” for getting ready and placing luggage. The bathroom was spotless—nothing to complain about. I was pleasantly surprised by all the amenities available: kettle, coffee machine, fans… truly everything you could possibly need! There was even a small essentials kit, which was a very thoughtful touch. If you’re lucky, you might even spot deer in the garden—a real bonus! We didn’t get the chance to try the breakfast, but I’m sure it must be just as perfect as everything else. The owner was extremely welcoming and gave great recommendations on what to see in the area. The value for money is simply excellent. If we ever come back to the area, this is definitely a place we would stay at again without hesitation!

The host was incredible, she recommended us the perfect hiking route and made us the best full irish breakfast, including homemade scones. She was very helpful when we had any questions. The room was very big and we had a great view outside. Everything felt cosy and idyllic. The area is perfect for hiking! We'd definitely recommend this and we'd love to come back

“Wonderfully comfortable and so lovely to return to after a hike in the Wicklow Mountains.”
Our room was amazing with a beautiful dressing-room as well as a fabulous shower room. Suzanne has thought of everything to make you comfortable and more besides. Breakfast was wonderful with home-made and home-grown deliciousness. I've never stayed anywhere else where the bread and breakfast scones have been baked about five minutes before you eat them! Fantastic.
