Our family (2 adults, a 5-year-old and a toddler) spent a week here. The accommodation is truly excellent. It is a converted farm house, as part of a recent (I assume) conversion of the entire farm and buildings. The setting is, therefore, stunning, from the long avenue down to the buildings, the huge lawns, the court yard and the wide open fields, from one of which can be accessed a nature reserve and, eventually, the beach.
The property itself is finished to a high standard. All appliances are Miele, there is a premium TV, excellent showers and both a washer and dryer. We cooked here every morning and every evening and were very comfortable.
The landlady lives in a separate building on the farm. Not too near as to feel imposed upon but near enough to be able to assist with any difficulties (usually not something that happens IME). We were able to obtain a replacement cafetiere and some additional kitchen items with no fuss or complaint. We were happily provided with a barbecue, which was much appreciated with the fine weather. The fridge was well stocked on arrival with eggs, milk, ham, cheese, juice and champagne. We were allowed to pick fresh lettuce that was being grown.
Our children loved the house and the farm. The 5-year-old in particular loved the huge outdoor setting to run around in, explore safely and play football.
We found the location suited our needs very well. It is a one hour drive into Dublin (to see family in Howth) and similar to Wexford (more family). It was less than half an hour to Powerscourt, which is a stunning house and grounds. It was just over half an hour to Glendalough and also to the Clara Lara play park - highly recommended for children aged 5-12 and on a sunny day.
A 10 minute walk / 2 minute drive to the nearest pub & restaurant. An 8 minute drive to the nearest Dunnes supermarket and more restaurants / takeaways.
