About this property

Beautiful resort

Situated in a small, private, quaint complex, Glencree Cottage is a lovely, Non-Smoking townhouse with simple, pine furnishings. The kitchen has just been completely renovated with an induction cooktop, wall oven, and washer / dryer and other modern conveniences set near the seaside in County Wicklow, Ireland. About one and a quarter hours from Dublin Airport, this puts you far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to go into Dublin's City Center and explore. Only 20 min's from the DART Commuter rail line in Greystones.

Directly across the road from the townhouse is Blainroe Golf Club - an 18-hole golf course with spectacular views of the Irish Sea and coastline. There is access to a private, family beach located across the road near the golf course; it is a lovely spot tucked away in a secluded cove. Hiking, biking, and fishing are right at your door step.

Glencree Cottage is in an excellent location for sightseeing and day trips to Dublin City. Dublin is 50 minutes by car or you can go to the City via the DART (the train/nearest station in Greystones, Co. Wicklow) to avoid the hassle of parking and driving in Ireland's largest and busiest city. On your return to Glencree Cottage, you can enjoy all the comforts of home, including an open fireplace to wind down, and the peace of the Irish seaside. A variety of tourist destinations are a stones throw from Glencree such as: Glendalough, Powerscourt - Manor House and Gardens, Brittas Bay.
The 3000 B.C. druid ruins at Newgrange ,are a must see located in Co Meath 1 1/2 hrs from Wicklow town.

In less than one hour, you can go from the Wicklow Hills to the mountains surrounding Dublin; to the seaside with lovely villages, towns and beautiful scenery all tucked in between. We have maps and travel books at the townhouse for use during your stay. Additionally, several of our friends and family who live nearby would be happy to assist you with any questions or issues you may have during your stay at Glencree Cottage. More than a hotel room, the townhouse allows you to spread out a bit, cook your own meals, and enjoy the comforts of home after a day of sightseeing.

A very beautiful location. I recommend it to anyone. Very quiet. Perfect for families. I was really stressed. In the UK I get panic attacks. I had nothing there. The area is unforgettable. I will come back whenever my budget allows. Many thanks Nadia!

Titled adequate because that just about summarise everything about our stay. A lot smaller than it appears in photos. Only Dry electric heating. Is located about 5km from Wicklow no local facilities. No Wi-Fi and very limited TV coverage.

Great getaway in Blainroe!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Ronan’s cute apartment. The king bed was very comfortable and the skylight provided nice ventilation during the night. We were able to easily cook dinner in the well-stocked kitchen. Everything was clean and worked well. We would highly recommend!

Lovely home in a beautiful setting

The property is in such a lovely location overlooking a large pond with goldfish in and a bridge crossing it. The private beach is a short walk away along the side of a golf course. The beach is lovely and sandy and in a little cove. There is a large children’s play area and tennis courts.

Fun at Blainroe

The size was just right. We were very comfortable in the cottage. No problems or issues. The people in the community were very nice. The flower gardens are gorgeous. The cottage is perfectly away from Wicklow but still close enough to make Wicklow incredibly convenient. The Blainroe Golf Club course is spectacular. The Club House has good food, great drinks, and a very friendly staff. The beach there is such a joy, as are the area cliff walks, and other beaches.

Dreamy!!!

Thank you Ronan and Emma for ensuring a cozy stay. The house had all the kitchen and bathroom accessories needed for a smooth visit. We loved the neighborhood and proximity to the beach and community walking trails. Wicklow is a cute town, but this house is convenient for traveling around as well. When we arrived, the home was immaculate, warm, and Emma had even left bread, milk, and cheese in the fridge for us with a kind note. We are still dreaming of our stay and can't wait to return!

Perfect short break at Ronans

We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at Ronans. The cottage is cute and quirky, quite rustic, but comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well equipped and we had everything we needed. The main bed is very large and comfy, and the shower was hot and powerful. We visited the tiny residents beach across the road many times, and were very lucky to see dolphins and seals on a couple of occasions. We were very sad to leave, and wished we’d booked for longer!! Looking forward to booking this little hidden gem again very soon. Thank you Ronan

Comfortable and quiet

The “information folder” had either outdated info ( the tv) or missing info(the washer). The owner communicated well via text but he was far far away. The caretaker never responded to our text and was not at home. Still the bed is very comfortable, and though key utensils are missing from the kitchen, we were comfortable enough, with a full bath and king bed. The multi fuel stove is missing a glass so burned very inefficiently.

No Hot Water After First Day

Bathroom light burned out the first day and we had no hot water after the first day. When I got there, the washing machine was full of wet towels. Someone had tried to do a load that was too heavy. We could not use the fireplace because when we got there there was a note on it saying that birds were nesting in it. The house had cobwebs everywhere and the front entryway where the spiral staircase is has all of the cleaning products kind of piled up under the stairs. Despite this, the house is in a cute location and it was easy to get to. The bed sheets were clean and they smelled nice also the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything that we needed to make dinners and the house is conveniently located to an Aldi, LIDL, and a Tesco. Everything in this house is on weird timers so the heaters pop on at random times and they use an immersion water heater so you only have hot water at random times. However there was a note left in a book about how to override this feature which I did and we still did not have hot water for the duration of our trip. I did end up cutting our stay short two days but thankfully I had a free hotel room so I didn't complain to the property manager over these two days we didn't actually use. There is Wi-Fi and it does work downstairs just fine it. However, wifi does not work upstairs well which we already knew that it would not.

Beautiful area

Overall, we were very pleased with this place. Any issues we had were settled quite quickly. The owner is very easy to deal with and the property manager was available to us at any time. Very convenient stay close to Wicklow Town, Blainloe golf club and Dublin is only 45 minutes away by car. Would definitely stay again.
