A charming stay

beautiful studio well kept garden excellent location
The studio garden view room was beautifully decorated and spacious. I appreciated the privacy and the well kept garden with a lovely seating area (complete with an egg swing seat!). The location was excellent, very close to the Wicklow Heather Restaurant.
I noticed very slight noise from the nearby road during peak hours.

a tender getaway

warm welcome coffee maker green glens
we received a warm welcome and found our room clean. the coffee maker with its pods, sugar, and creamer was a good touch and there were also assorted teas. the nearby monastic city of glendalough offered a amazing hike among green glens and hillsides. we found homemade scones with jam and cream at a nearby coffee shop.
i noticed a few steps leading to the room, which presented a small challenge.

The room was clean, i must say, the bed was comfortable. also, the location proved convenient. A nearby restaurant was a plus. it had easy parking too, a definite benefit when traveling.
The steps leading to the room were somewhat challenging, i noticed. the lack of breakfast included in the price was a letdown. I felt it should have been clearer beforehand.
