Perfection.
I was traveling with friends and family for my 50th. This place was perfect for our group. The only thing that could make it better would be maybe a how-to guide to the house and maybe a list of local restaurants/pubs/markets in the area.

Family trip from UK to Wicklow
This is a fabulous property if you want to really switch off - it has a very cosy and relaxing vibe. Beds and sofas & chairs are all very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Showers and bathrooms are excellent also. The only slight negative is that the WiFi is a bit slow and unstable, but perhaps this actually helps “switching off” and relaxing more!! We will definitely back - thank you Pete & Una! Joan, Martin, Carmel, Duncan & Luke

THE BEST
This was the perfect location. Perfect configuration of rooms, each bedroom has a bathroom…perfect outdoor space…wonderful kitchen… it worked for our family. Over a 33 day period we had 18 people, ranging from 5 yrs old to adults staying with us in the house. The most we had at one time was 10....the house could certainly handle it. Una, Pete, and son Luke are the greatest hosts....prompt answers to questions always. The Wicklow area has so many things to do, enjoy, and take in. Already figuring out how to do it again. You won't be disappointed if you book this house!

Great Hosts!!
Highly recommend this lovely house for a family stay. We used this location as our home base, while seeing the sites in Galway, Belfast & Dublin. You'll definitely need a car to get around. Grocery stores, cafes & restaurants close by! We enjoyed several evenings sitting around a roaring fire on their roomy patio.

Just great!
A pleasure! We stayed for a week, a handful of adults and some of our young (almost adults, mainly). The house is great, just look at the pictures. Great kitchen/living room, with a nice wood stove for the joy of it. Ashford is a great starting place for tours to the coast, e.g. to Wicklow, as well as into the mountains. Don't miss Glendalough, btw. So we just had lots of fun, and enjoyed it. Highly suggested.

Ireland Family Trip
Took our adult children and their spouses on a beautiful trip to Ireland! This house was absolutely beautiful, well maintained and we appreciated the craftsmanship to building this! The house design and decor definitely contributed to us have an enjoyable experience, providing separate bedrooms/bathrooms for all, and very relaxing space to spread out! Kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, and quick walk into town. Short/quick drive to a Lidl or Aldi for more in-depth grocery needs. Location is perfect for exploring this region of Ireland: which is a real gem!! We took a couple trips into Dublin, and visited little towns in Wicklow Co. I highly recommend this house, and the owners were perfect hosts, all along the booking process!!

Impressive house and wonderful hosts
Six friends from three different countries met here to continue a decades-long tradition of visiting new places and sharing each other's company. The house is quite a showpiece, built largely of repurposed materials, a thoughtful combination of comfort and style. As right-side drivers, we didn't want to risk renting a car, but the house was situated well for walking into the village and to bus stops, one kilometer down the hill.

Fantastic space for a girls 30th weekend!
Una and Pete were wonderful hosts - So kind and understanding! The house was gorgeous and had everything we could have needed for a fantastic 30th birthday weekend! It didn't even feel like we were in Ireland (I live in Wicklow so was nice for the holiday vibe!). We had dinner nearby at Mortimers and it was so special. The outdoor area was a favourite of everyone and the bedroom layouts worked very well for 12 ladies. The space was very clean and comfortable - Especially the beds. Outdoor shower was a fun addition! Thank you both for the wonderful experience! I would recommend this listing to anyone!
