This house is cared for with so much love and compassion. Every detail is just lovely and they keep everything clean. The stainless steel kitchen is wonderful to cook in and accessible to every guest. Rooms and beds are comfortable! The manager is just darling:)
She decorates the whole house beautifully with fresh flowers and is there for you, if you have any questions or requests.

Toilet light didn't work. Floor paint flaked off onto bare feet in the bedroom. No one around when arriving or leaving. Had to wander around to find the host. Building needs a tidy up and a paint. Beautiful setting.

We stayed for one night ,a Tuesday night . I have stopped off here for a drink about two years ago while touring in Wicklow so I knew the area well enough. The bar and lounge are very dated but it suits the location in a way. After reading the reviews of the bed and breakfast I decided to take a chance and stay. The staff are so down to earth and welcoming. The room number 8 had a king sized bed and a huge flat screen TV. We had a drink in the bar which was very quiet . Breakfast was top class....

It was a really welcoming, and respectful place to stay. The decor is fantastic. The cast iron handle of the bathroom in room 4 might fall off, but that didn't take away from the loveliness.
