About this property
Luxury Spacious Penthouse Apartment
Set in a 19th Century Old Whiskey Mill Building, The Maltings blends historic charm with industrial-chic and lies in the heart of Bray, set between the scenic Wicklow Mountains and the busy city centre of Dublin . A large stunning 1600 Sq. Ft 3-bed penthouse apartment set out over 3 floors. The top floor master bedroom has views of the mountains and the sea. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which is en-suite. You will find a lovely, spacious lounge with a balcony on the 1st floor and a large 55-inch flat screen TV, as well as high-speed 200mpbs internet connection throughout the apartment. Whilst not reflected in the photos, the dining table can be extended to sit 12 people and there is enough glasses, cutlery and crockery for 12.
This beautiful penthouse apartment in the Old Mill building is an eclectic mix of chic pieces with every modern convenience. The Maltings is located just off Bray main street meaning you are just metres away from lovely shops & restaurants, but it is set back enough that it is very peaceful with lots of privacy. This is a brand newly refurbished property in September 2023, all interiors done by Cooling Design Ltd. There are many things to do in the area. You will find some of the most beautiful walks nearby, as well as golf courses, horse-riding, shopping, historical sites and many more activities.
Getting Around: A selection of buses and the Dart train service can bring you in all directions throughout the counties of Wicklow and Dublin City Centre. Dublin City is only 30 minutes by Dart and 40 minutes by bus. The train station is a 10 minute walk from the apartment and buses are only a 2 minute walk from the apartment.

Delighted you enjoyed your stay. Hope you had a safe and pleasant journey home. Hope you come and stay with us again. Best Jonathan
Wonderful apartment that made our large family vacation a pleasure from start to finish. Located in beautiful Bray, allowing for many adventures and hiking away from Dublin.Note that it is about an hour by train into downtown Dublin - this wasn’t totally clear from the listing.

Danielle, delighted to have you stay and so pleased you all enjoyed yourselves. You are welcome back anytime - usual scheduled time for the Dart from Bray Station into Dublin is around 40 minutes (36 mins to Lansdowne Road for Aviva Stadium) so sorry to hear it took longer during your stay. Hope you all made it home safe and sound and enjoyed you Irish Sojourn 2025 :-) All the best and thanks again for choosing the Maltings :-)
Our recent stay at this Vrbo house was fantastic! The host’s communication was outstanding—prompt, clear, and accommodating, especially when part of our group arrived earlier than planned. The property itself was a highlight, beautifully appointed like something out of a design magazine, with high-quality finishes and tasteful decor. The only minor hiccup was a slightly tricky key lock box, but we managed to get it open. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Dublin area!
Jonathan’s apartment was fantastic- it had everything we needed, the layout of the apartment was great, location, very convenient, and Jonathan was ready to answer. Any questions we had. It was a very comfortable 2 1/2 weeks!

Carol, it was great to have you stay. Delighted you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed hosting you. Your communication was excellent and the apartment was left perfect - thank you for staying and do come back anytime :-) Very Best and thanks again for staying at the Maltings Jonathan
What a cool, well-equipped, luxurious appartment. Our host Jonathan has helped with every question we had and we felt very welcome. Our daughter loved the upstairs bedroom with porthole and lovely bed. Would love to come back!
This unit is a five star Adventure. The pictures can’t begin to portray its true beauty. The location is the best, safe secure and excellent parking. Within a short walk to a grocery store, Starbucks, McDonalds, Bus and Train Station, Fresh Markets and much more. Spend a day or two in the Bray promenade. Fantastic dinning.
Wonderful perfectly furnished flat, very friendly host.
These holidays leave nothing to be desired.
Irland is a wonderful experience and Bray a great place to stay.
Thank you very much.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Hope the english improved for all the family over your stay and delighted you got to see some of the Emerald Isle :-) Stay well and come back anytime :-)
This property is an absolute 5 star experience. The owner Jonathan communicated with us before, during, and after our stay to ensure total satisfaction. The apartment is LOVELY. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable and the living room/kitchen space was equipped with every amenity imaginable. The location is fantastic as it is situated in the lovely coastal town of Bray but so accessible to Dublin via the picturesque 35 minute train ride (the trains depart every 5-10 minutes, super convenient). We had the most amazing time!!!

Suzanne,
What a lovely review. Thank you!
Delighted you and your family had such a great time. It was great having you stay. You were fantastic guests and we look forward to having you stay again in the future. I loved the itinerary you left so I might adapt that for future guests 😊👍
Thank you again ☘️

Inside - everything you need for a great stay, comfortable beds, great water pressure, reliable wi-fi, and plenty of room to spread out
The location is a great choice. Bray itself has all the services you need in walking distance, terrific connections via mass transit in to Dublin, easy access to a great variety of day trips, and a lovely seafront for morning and evening strolls or a hike up Bray head.
Jonathan made our check in/check out process very easy and was easy to communicate with before and during our stay, (including reminding us of the note in the listing that there are a fair number of stairs to navigate, if that is a concern) The only surprises were good ones.
We wanted to stay in Wicklow County for three weeks and chose Bray. It's a seaside town with everything you might need. The flat is close to downtown and is fully stocked. There are 3 flights of stairs to walk up to it, but posed no problem to us. Jonathan is always available to help. The beds are not U.S. King size but just big enough and very comfortable. There are plenty of grocery store bags for shopping in the kitchen drawers. We loved Bray and our favorite restaurant The Wild Goose. I highly recommend. Its easy to get to other seaside towns on the Dart.
Excellent property- the best we have stayed in. Interior design and facilities top class. So quiet and peaceful when located so near to town. Arrived late due to delayed ferry crossing with bottle of vino to welcome us. Jonathan, the host, was amazing and continually contacted me to be sure everything was all OK. Return ferry crossing delayed due to weather conditions and Jonathan even dropped off 3 items we had left behind to where we were staying. Could not rate this stay high enough- truly amazing stay and enabled us to catch up with family.

Thank you for the lovely review Jon - It was a pleasure to have you stay :-). Delighted to hear you enjoyed yourselves so much. Anytime you want to stay again in future you will be very welcome
This property was exactly as advertised. Jonathan did the best job explaining the entry process. We arrived exhausted after flight, but the Maltings was a warm and inviting space to come in to. The bedrooms, the bathrooms, the kitchen and living rooms were as comfortable as they were beautiful.
Jonathan was very helpful and shared so much information from the workings of the apartment, to where to eat and shop in Bray and beyond. It definitely made our vacation that much better knowing that we had a nice place to come back to at the end of the day. Thanks Jonathan!

The property was excellent. Everything we needed was available. Full kitchen with all appliances and close to everything. Johnathon was very attentive and checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything. The place held 6 women comfortably and was so cozy and comfy. The décor was modern and quirky and we loved it. Would recommend this property!!! Thank you Johnathon you are amazing!!

Thanks for your review Fiona. We would really appreciate your feedback on why we didn’t get 10/10. If you can let us know where we let you down we will do our best to ensure no guest in future has to issues you perceive you had. There was nothing from our correspondence that would indicate a less that 10/10 experience (based on the criteria the 10/10 score is based on) so really appreciate knowing how we can ensure any failing is not experienced by any guest in future. Thank you for staying with us and sorry we didn’t give you the 10/10 experience we aim to consistently deliver. Best as ever Jonathan
