Excellent. Everything you could possibly need is at the house. Brian lives next door to answer questions and it’s exceptionally helpful and gracious. There is a local pub, the Friel that serves good affordable ford, and a Tesco about 3 miles away. Great location, peaceful and a perfect family holiday.

Amazing property

The host was extremely friendly courteous and communicated well. The property was beautiful clean and had everything we needed. They also had a cow pasture behind us and the cows were adorable. The property was extremely clean and well-equipped for our stay. Would definitely recommend this property for folks that want to stay outside Dublin.

Lovely house in a great location

The property was spotlessly clean, very well-equipped and comfortable. We really enjoyed having the pool table! The location is great - peaceful and calm but with easy access to towns round about, and great public transport into Dublin. The property owners were communicative, friendly and very helpful. Would recommend!

This was our best stay in Ireland! Brian and his wife are fantastic hosts. Outside of the city, cows on the property and of course, Polly the dog who is precious. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to experience Irish hospitality at it's finest!

Amazing Place

This is in a beautiful and quiet location. It has everything you could need for self catering. A large stunning garden area so excellent for families. Having the games room was a definite plus and my kids spent less time on their phones and more time practicing their pool & dart skills. The owner Brian was very welcoming, would definitely stay again.

Perfect location

We loved our stay at Brian and Deirdre's property, it's a beautifully restored outbuilding. There was fresh milk and a packet of biscuits left for us on arrival and Brian explained everything we needed to know, i.e.heating, cooker and other facilities. The property was perfectly located for us as we have family in Kildare and Dublin and the nearest pub is only a 15 minute walk away. We would highly recommend.

Perfect base for Dublin and Wicklow

We had a wonderful stay while taking day trips to Dublin, Glendalough, and Powerscourt. Enjoyed watching the cows out our window and playing pool. You need a car but 15 min drive to train station provided easy access to Dublin Center. Ideal spot to relax and still have plenty to do. Unique cottage and perfect host.
