We absolutely loved our stay at the Gables. Aidan and Maeve gave us a great welcome and we felt right at home. It was a wonderful getaway from the crowds and noise of Dublin and a perfect starting point for our day trip to Glendalough and Avoca. The breakfast went above and beyond what we had come to expect at... More

We arrived very early in the day, and Aidan and Maeve made us comfortable, fed us coffee and let us check in early to freshen up. They are warm and friendly hosts, and the room we had was quiet, clean and very comfortable. Adjusting to the time difference from CA was easy with their help. The B&B is outside of... More

We just returned from a 13-day stay in Ireland, and this B&B was the highlight of our stay. Maeve and Aiden are very warm and welcoming, friendly and helpful, without being overbearing or creepy. My husband, who is not a fan of B&B's, was most impressed, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Our room (No. 2) and... More

For us as a pair of bikers embarking on a 2,000 mile run around the Republic it was important that we got off to a good start- Maeve's warm and welcoming hospitality provided the perfect launchpad for what turned out to be a great adventure. Her house is spotless, bright and the room was excellent. The lounge provided a good... More

This B and B is incredible! It's so clean and the breakfast is amazing. The host Maeve is really nice! This is the nicest and cleanliest b and b that we visited in Ireland. We really enjoy our stay!

We stayed one week end evening, after finding the B&B which is not in Arklow but 5 Kms south of Arklow in the middle of the country, nowhere near a pub or place to eat, you must travel back to Arklow to find a place to have supper, this trip to Arklow is along a narrow & small road, even... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to submit your review to 'Trip Advisor' and for mentioning that you found our B & B pleasant and our breakfasts good. However, we read with concern of your disappointment regarding some aspects of your stay. Yes our B & B is 4km from Arklow, that is why it is classified and... More

The Gables b&b is everything you could ask for & more. We received a very warm welcome by Maeve on July 8th, and were treated to an afternoon tea with her delicious scones and home made jam. The room & bathroom was spotless and the in-room wifi worked great. The house was big and spacious with a nice lounge, garden,... More

I loved this B&B. It was my first time ever staying in one, and it was the first B&B we stayed in. Maeve and Aidan were extremely gracious hosts and they provided lots of information for my friends and me for places to visit and experience in Wicklow, Co. The home is spacious with a great sitting room, large breakfast... More

What a wonderful place for Bed and Breakfast! My friend and I had an overnight stay here on our return journey from Cork to Dublin. Everything about 'The Gables' is superb! Set in its own beautiful extensive gardens, itself within the 'Garden of Ireland', this property is most definitely well worth a visit! We were very warmly greeted, on arrival,... More

The Gables B&B was our favourite B&B while touring Ireland for 25 days. We just couldn't believe our good fortune to happen upon this treasure in beautiful Co Wicklow. It encompasses everything you could possibly want or need in a B&B: comfort, friendliness, value, and quiet, peaceful setting to name a few. Aidan and Maeve O'Connor are the perfect hosts... More
