    Spacious, warm accommodation. Nice outlook to garden from sitting room and bedroom. Plenty of storage in the kitchen, which is useful if you bring food. Good lights for reading in the sitting room and lots of interesting books.

    La maison est vraiment très jolie, décorée avec goût, et grande. On peut se garer facilement. Elle est située à 15 mn à peine Glendalough, idéal pour les visites donc. Les propriétaires ont été très accueillants, Robin est français !

    Die Unterkunft war sehr gut gelegen um in den Wicklow Mountains wandern zu gehen und die Gegend zu erkunden. Ein Auto ist erforderlich um in der Gegend herumzukommen. Das beste war der Kamin für die gemütliche Stimmung am Abend.

Beautiful sunny rooms with garden views in a unique old farmhouse, situated in the heart of the Wicklow mountains. Ten minutes to Glendalough, and up the hill from the Clara Vale woods and the Avonmore river. Three donkeys to greet you each morning.
I and my partner work on the farm. We will try to arrange and be here to greet you upon arrival and there will generally be someone available to help if you need anything. I am available by call/ text if you need anything.
The Vale of Clara is a beautiful secluded and quiet valley nearby the Glendalough valley and the Glenmalure valley. The Avonmore River runs through the property and we are a stone throw from the Clara Vale Nature Preserve. There are plenty of walks in the woods and on the hills from the farm by foot. There are many hiking trails accessible in the surrounding valleys, from the St Kevin's Way starting in Hollywood 30 minutes drive away to the nearby Glendalough Park and Avonmore way. We are also a short driving distance from the seaside town of Wicklow with its fishing harbor and baby-seal beach, as well as scenic Brittas Bay Sandy Beach. The neighboring Glenmalure Valley offers stunning hikes which can end at the traditional Irish pub Glenmalure lodge or the valley's unique winter sauna.
