    As low-budget travelers, we loved the fully stocked kitchen with breakfast food and the helpful host who gave us transportation tips and recommended hikes. The location was great, within walking distance to town and accessible by bus.

    Felt happy, no reason to complain!

    The location of the hotel was absolutely stunning, tucked away in the woods with a river nearby. It provided a picturesque and peaceful setting. the host was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area, making our stay even more enjoyable. the freshly baked cookies at check-in were a delightful surprise. the apartment we stayed in was self-contained and well-equipped, providing all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay.

    One thing we didn't like was having to leave. It was such a fantastic experience that we wished we could have stayed longer.

    We had a great time at this lodge. The location was perfect, surrounded by nature and close to Glendalough. The owner, Suzanne, did a fantastic job with the interior design of the house. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the sheets were so soft. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the homemade treats provided by Suzanne. It felt like a home away from home.

    The checkout process was a bit disorganized.

    The apartment was in perfect condition, very comfortable, and accommodated all my needs. The kitchen was stocked with food for breakfast, including fresh eggs, homemade scones, juice, cereals, and more! The host was incredibly helpful. The location was also great, with a walkable distance to town and accessible even without a rental car.

    Nothing could have been better.

    I got amazing value for my money at this place. The room was super spacious and beautifully presented. The location in the oak forests was incredible and I felt very well cared for by the exceptional host, Suzanne.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved by adding more variety.

    The decor at the lodge was absolutely charming, with cozy furniture and beautiful rustic accents. It reminded me of my own home and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The general areas of the lodge were easy to navigate and felt safe for seniors like myself. The children working there were always available to assist me, whether it was carrying my luggage or helping me find my way around. It was a delight to stay in such a well-designed and accessible place.

    I wish there had been more activities specifically tailored for senior guests.

    Warm welcome, fresh pastries every morning. Plenty of space, phone reservations for restaurants. Lovely region, near outstanding sceneries. Car necessary, but ideal for remote getaway. Delighted!

    The location of this woodland lodge is simply perfect for nature lovers. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and offering stunning views, it provides a tranquil retreat. The rooms are well-maintained and comfortable, with spotless facilities. The host Suzanne is incredibly kind and goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

    Finding the place was a bit tricky, but the owner provided helpful directions. Maybe a sign on the road would make it easier to locate.

    Best aspects of the experience at this hotel were the beautiful surroundings and the hospitality of the host. The location was perfect for a peaceful Christmas getaway, nestled amidst nature. The room was cozy and clean, providing a comfortable stay. the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, offering homemade treats and providing helpful information about the area.

    Worst aspects of the experience were the lack of a doorbell and the poor phone reception. It was frustrating not being able to easily communicate our arrival without using What's App.

    I recently stayed at a beautiful lodge surrounded by lovely woodland. The apartment was well-stocked with everything I needed in the kitchen, and the treats and stocked food for breakfast were greatly appreciated. The host, Suzanne, went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, even offering to pick up anything I needed from the shops. The location was relaxing and perfect for exploring the Glendalough area. The garden was stunning and the accommodation was quiet and clean.

    The sign for the lodge was small and easily missed, making it slightly difficult to find.
