Small holding on a quiet road. 2 rooms available both either ensuite or private batroom. Newly refurbished in quiet location with views to the mountains. Lisnavagh House and Duckets Grove nearby. Great location for exploring Wicklow, Wexford and Carlow. 50 minutes from Dublin This is our family home, our accommodation is though separate from our home. We have a variety of animals in our family including 2 dogs, 3 donkeys, a few sheep and a couple of mischievous goats. We also have a herd of angus in the paddocks. We all look forward to welcoming you to our home. Strictly no check ins after 8pm due to the nature of our business. We operate a non smoking policy. Strictly no hook ups, if we feel this is the case on ypur arrival we have the right to refuse your stay.
Welcome to our family home. Both human and animals, who sometimes think they are human reside here and look forward to welcoming you.
Rural Ireland with a host of working farms surrounding. Quiet and peaceful
