Photos and Description of the County Wicklow vacation farmhouse rental A restored old estate Property with character, in farmyard location.

This property is situated deep in the heart of the Irish countryside. It is snuggled mid way up a hilly landscape within a farmyard. People live on the farm so, while both mews and farmhouse are private, they are not totally isolated. With oil-fired central heating and wood-burning stoves, it is cosy in winter. Sheep graze the surrounding fields, and sometimes deer may be spotted. For wet or wintry days a music centre, TV with video and satellite channels, and broadband for those with their own laptop, are available. There are horses and dogs on the farm, and local farmers have sheep and cattle also. By foot, one can easily reach a riding-school, and a local country pub. The property is on the Wicklow Way, a famous walking route, and a nearby hill is covered with woods, and popular with walkers. The medieval city of Kilkenny is less than an hour's drive away, as is the coastal town of Wexford, well-known for its international Wexford Opera Festival in autumn, and also Glendalough.

Details for Farmhouse 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, 1 Bathroom

3 Bedrooms, 1 en-suite, 2nd Bathroom, Living-room with open fire, Dining-room with Wood-burning Stove, Kitchen and Utility room (with toilet). A bright sun-room with a couch and table and chairs (and a piano) looks out over the patio and shrubbery, and over the valley beyond to the hills. The whole area is very peaceful - an oasis to return to at night after a busy day, or a place just to hang out and relax.

The mews is 3 miles from the village of Shillelagh, and 1 mile to Coolkenno, where a small grocery shop attends to everyday needs. Tullow, in the county of Carlow, is 7 miles, and here there are 3 big supermarkets, 2 pharmacies, haberdashery, furniture and gift shops, 3 garages, beauty salons and hairdressers. Near Tullow is Mt. Wolseley, a big hotel with leisure centre and golfing resort. Bar food is excellent here, as is the restaurant. In Tullow there's an Indian restaurant which we often frequent, and a local riverbank eatery. Less than 15 minutes drive from the Mews is Bunclody, a charming village with excellent restaurants, and a tree lined stream which flows down the middle of the village. Just less than an hour from the mews is Kilkenny, a beautiful medieval city with 2 cathedrals, a castle and numerous shops and restaurants. And less than an hour in the opposite direction is the seaside town of Courtown, which comes alive in summer and is pleasant in winter.

Dream House

curr westford,..MA USA
Review Submitted: May 3, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This house was incredible. Just how I pictured rural Ireland to be. This was our first trip to Ireland and we stayed in many types of homes during our 10 days. This is an old farm house with so much charm. It has everything you need to make it comfortable and modern but feel like you stepped back in time. It was my favorite house. It had plenty of room for 6, 2 adults and 4 children. The grounds are beautiful with horses and views of fields and sheep.. the house was immaculate with a kitchen well stocked with all you need for meals etc. The owner was wonderful and made sure you had everything to make the stay more enjoyable. The area is breathtaking and we enjoyed that part of Ireland very much. The scenery was better than I imagined. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.. you won't be disappointed. I will stay here again when I revisit Ireland..
