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.

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.

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!

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.

Stay
Was a nice place, no Wi-Fi which was a bit of a issue but we made it work. Staircase is pretty but hard for one of our older group. Overall the place was great and the people were fantastic.
