Beautiful prperty in a beautiful area of Ireland Quite central and close to everything and siight seeing is amazing House was clean and well stocked We loved the quirky house the beds are comfortable and we really loved our stayPeter and Una were great
Great accommodation in a beautiful area and superb hosts. All the necessities are provided and a nice sociable outdoor space too. Would definitely recommend.
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed this property! We were a group of friends and family getting together to visit and explore this part of Ireland. Not only was a space perfect for our group with its multiple spaces to gather our large group to catch up, but the area has gorgeous scenery and activities for all ages. It benefits from its closeness to Dublin, of course, but there are so much to see within a couple minutes drive! Hope to visit again soon!
We had an amazing stay! As a large family, we appreciated several rooms/baths. It was clean and everything we needed was easily found. Hosts were very responsive.
There aren’t enough words to describe what a wonderful house and hosts this home and family are. We had our entire family there for our 40th wedding anniversary. The house was everything we had hoped for and Una, Peter and their sons were very responsive and charming. The location was wonderful and afforded us access to everything. Go and stay here!!

We had a fantastic stay here. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and the house was great to hang out in and cook in. We were families with kids and they loved the place so much we had to come home every evening for a bbq and marshmallows by the fire. Also near Glendalough and Clara Lara which they loved. Highly recommend
Brilliant house, layout perfect for different family members to all stay together. Una was so lovely and accommodating. Great communication. Could not fault anything.
An excellent property. The photos matched the reality. Very comfortable and spacious for our group of 8. Lovely outdoor seating area. Easy parking. Great access to local grocery, Mount Usher Gardens, DART station only 20 minutes away at Greystones with 3 all day parking. Could not be happier with our stay. Highly recommend!
We had the best time staying here, highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a trip to ireland or staycation. The property was fabulous, impeccably clean and fully kitted out with everything you might need. They had even though as far ahead as to have a stair gate available to put in the stairs for guests with small children like ourselves. They also have an outdoor fire pit which was perfect for making s’moresThe property is in a fabulous location with lots of activities for days out 20 minutes drive away.And the hosts were amazing, so welcoming and super responsive to all our questions. The perfect location for a couples get away, girly trip and family vacation. I can’t wait to return!
Thank you to this visionary, amazing couple who gave us the best stay. We loved it and wish we could’ve stayed there even longer. It’s a unique home with coziness enshrined every inch. It’s clean and safe and is a great launching pad for many fun spots!
We’d a lovely weekend celebrating my father’s 80th birthday, the perfect house for all of us, myself and my husband, my sisters family, and my parents and my kids. Ideally located in the heart of Wicklow with mountains, lakes, beaches, walks, and restaurants all on our doorstep. Thank you for being so welcoming to us Una and Pete
We had a great time staying here and the hostess, Una, was incredibly friendly and helpful. We made day trips all around the Wicklow area from this convenient spot and with a house full of kids this was a perfect spot to enjoy the evenings by the fireplace. Una ensured the bed setup was properly arranged for us prior to arriving, oriented us well to the amenities, made recommendations for local dining and activities, and helped us get a few things back that we accidentally left after checkout. I would definitely recommend staying here if visiting Ashford or the surrounding Wicklow area.

This place is such a hidden gem, the owners were fantastic, very helpful, the area was beautiful!
Thus property was exactly what we were looking for in the wicklow mountains. Its convenient loction to dublin made it an easy pick. The stay wqs grat, lots of room, fantastic outside space, beds were numerous in every room and each one had a full bath.
I was traveling with friends and family for my 50th. This place was perfect for our group. The only thing that could make it better would be maybe a how-to guide to the house and maybe a list of local restaurants/pubs/markets in the area.
