We stayed at Knockrue House whilst attending a wedding at Rathsallgh. Knockrue house itself is really old and beautiful and the surroundings are equally stunning. The house is very clean and rooms are large and spacious with beautiful furniture, comfortable beds and plenty of hot water in the shower. Our room had two big windows looking out over the grounds...

We stayed here after a wedding. The house itself is a beautiful old farmhouse, very well looked after and in a charming setting. The rooms are quite big and comfortable. The lady owner was very friendly, she dropped us to our car in the hotel the next day & provided us with a good hearty breakfast to soothe suffering heads!... More

We attended a wedding in a nearby hotel, which was booked out, and we were very fortunate to find this lovely B&B. It's a beautiful 250-year-old stone farmhouse, completely renovated to a modern, warm standard. The room was beautifully decorated, with stunning views across the Wicklow hills and across the proprietors' own farmlands. The lady of the house, Eileen, could... More

We were really looking forward to this accomodation as my partner loves heritage and old buildings. On being greeted we were asked what time we would be leaving in the morning as the ladys grandson was playing in a match in Dublin and she needed to be there early. We said we would eat breakfast at eight as that suited... More

Regarding the comments you left on trip advisor which we have only recently seen, we would like to address a couple of issues. Firstly, I did inform you I would need to leave early and you had no objections to this. I would like to apologise to you about the issue with the television which was entirely our fault. We... More

This B&B is located in a beautiful old stone house on a rambling farm on N81. The room was comfortable and clean and the line-dried linen smelled wonderful. Eileen was our gracious hostess, and provided lovely insight on where to eat and what to do in County Wicklow. She also gave excellent advice on timing to the airport so we... More

Friendly owners, large clean rooms, delicious breakfast and tea biscuits served on arrival. Our reservation was lost so the hostess didn't know we were coming. Since it was low season, she happily accommodated us for the rate we originally reserved for. (This B&B does not change rates with low/high season). Nice farm area owned by proprietors where you can take... More

We stayed here as couldn't find any accommodation in the Glenalough area open over the winter and saw the high recommendation of the property on trip advisor. Eileen really was a great hostess, and the room we stayed in was huge, with a beautiful large bed and great views. We were absolutely shattered when we arrived, and Eileen wasn't fussing... More
