Incredible Cottage

My husband and I visited this cottage for a family vacation along with 7 of our children. There is ample room for everyone and the cottage is in top notch condition. Clean, all equipment was in great condition.
The cottage is a short walk to the most beautiful beaches. The back patio/garden is private and secluded. The grounds are well manicured.
Apart from the comfort afforded by the facilities, the owner is a gem. Ken is extremely helpful and very attentive. He has answers to any questions from dining to travel directions.
A vehicle is required, but the trip from Dublin airport to the cottage is a pleasant easy and seemingly very short drive along some of the most stunning views.
The cottage is centrally located for easy trips to Dublin to see Trinity college and the Book of Kells, museums, Chester Beatty Library, the Dublin writer's museum, St.Patrick's Cathedral. So much to see and do..
Wicklow county itself has wonderful attractions within very short, easy access for tourists. The beach itself is stunning. We travelled to Wicklow Mountains National Park, Wicklow Gap, Baltinglass Abby, Blessington Lakes, Wicklow Gaol tour, Bray to Greystones Cliff walk, Kilruddery House and Gardens, Powerscourt House, Avondale House, Glendalough and so much more.
Sound busy..not really, we were travelling with a baby and were back to the cottage in time to enjoy relaxing evenings together as a family. EVERYTHING is so close and easy to get to..just the drive alone is a wonderful experience. The scenery is like something from a postcard.
The local people are very helpful. Jack White's Pub staff welcomed us and locals pointed us in many different travel directions suggesting all the "must sees".
Our adult children enjoyed the free shuttle home at pub closing several times. Very nice folks.
Arklow and Wicklow are short drives away to pick up any groceries or anything you need.
I would highly recommend that if you are considering a stay in Ireland. Choose this cottage. Ken is wonderful and obviously takes great care of his property and the people who stay.
Thank you so much Ken for the wonderful experience. Everything from start to finish..booking, money transfer and throughout our vacation was more that incredible.
We hope to return..we didn't get the chance to see everything.
Keep up the great work.
Best Always The McKenna Family from Canada
