The cottage might look small from the outside but it has plenty of space inside and is finished to a good standard. The village of Aughrim is only 5 minutes away by car and has a fantastic coffee shop/bakery, as well as a couple of general stores and a pub. In addition the cottage is really nicely located to be able to reach most of Co. Wicklowâs best sights within half an hour or so (weâd recommend Glendalough and Beyond the Trees at Avondale

The house is set in a stunning location with breathtaking views of the lush green countryside. It offered peace and seclusion, making it the perfect escape from everyday life. The cottage was cozy, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean, with all the amenities we needed. The fireplace added a warm, inviting touch to the evenings, and we felt at home instantly. The hosts were friendly and provided great tips for exploring the local area. Overall, it was an great experience.

One of the best we have stayed in. If we were to be really picky then would have liked a couple more large bowls as only two and a new ironing board cover.
