Host review score
Jane and Sean
The property has been lovingly renovated and refurbished by the current owners, providing a modern comfortable holiday home with lots of character. Under floor heating and a wood burning stove give holiday guests a cosy retreat after a days walking or cycling. The open plan living and dining area makes a very sociable space to relax in with views to the Wicklow mountains.
The hosts live on site on the small family run farm with their dogs; Daisy and Poppy. Jane works part times as a nurse and Sean works on the farm. Jane and Sean invite you to come and relax , switch off and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.
The property is one mile from the historical village of Roundwood, which has a variety of pubs and restaurants as well as other local amenities. Endless walks including the Vartry Trails and The Wicklow Way are 10 minutes drive away. The popular tourist attractions of Powerscourt House and Gardens, the Monastic site of Glendalough, Avondale Forest Park and Kilruddery House are all within 20 kilometres.
