A cozy architectural GEM in Ireland!

Thank you to this visionary, amazing couple who gave us the best stay. We loved it and wish we could’ve stayed there even longer. It’s a unique home with coziness enshrined every inch. It’s clean and safe and is a great launching pad for many fun spots!

Perfection.

I was traveling with friends and family for my 50th. This place was perfect for our group. The only thing that could make it better would be maybe a how-to guide to the house and maybe a list of local restaurants/pubs/markets in the area.

Great family stay

Had a great time at the property and made many wonderful memories. Una was great and very responsive. The outside area was an added benefit to share a fire and some drinks and laughs at the end of the day. Absolutely outstanding

THE BEST

This was the perfect location. Perfect configuration of rooms, each bedroom has a bathroom…perfect outdoor space…wonderful kitchen… it worked for our family. Over a 33 day period we had 18 people, ranging from 5 yrs old to adults staying with us in the house. The most we had at one time was 10....the house could certainly handle it. Una, Pete, and son Luke are the greatest hosts....prompt answers to questions always. The Wicklow area has so many things to do, enjoy, and take in. Already figuring out how to do it again. You won't be disappointed if you book this house!

Great Hosts!!

Highly recommend this lovely house for a family stay. We used this location as our home base, while seeing the sites in Galway, Belfast & Dublin. You'll definitely need a car to get around. Grocery stores, cafes & restaurants close by! We enjoyed several evenings sitting around a roaring fire on their roomy patio.

Great place to stay.

We met here with family. We live in USA. Family lives in England and Scotland. House was great. Had everything you need. Great location. Every couple loved having their own room/bathroom. Plus there was plenty of room for our 3 year old grandson to play. Cute town. Una and Pete were great to deal with and attentive to needs.

Ireland Family Trip

Took our adult children and their spouses on a beautiful trip to Ireland! This house was absolutely beautiful, well maintained and we appreciated the craftsmanship to building this! The house design and decor definitely contributed to us have an enjoyable experience, providing separate bedrooms/bathrooms for all, and very relaxing space to spread out! Kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, and quick walk into town. Short/quick drive to a Lidl or Aldi for more in-depth grocery needs. Location is perfect for exploring this region of Ireland: which is a real gem!! We took a couple trips into Dublin, and visited little towns in Wicklow Co. I highly recommend this house, and the owners were perfect hosts, all along the booking process!!

Impressive house and wonderful hosts

Six friends from three different countries met here to continue a decades-long tradition of visiting new places and sharing each other's company. The house is quite a showpiece, built largely of repurposed materials, a thoughtful combination of comfort and style. As right-side drivers, we didn't want to risk renting a car, but the house was situated well for walking into the village and to bus stops, one kilometer down the hill.

Fantastic space for a girls 30th weekend!

Una and Pete were wonderful hosts - So kind and understanding! The house was gorgeous and had everything we could have needed for a fantastic 30th birthday weekend! It didn't even feel like we were in Ireland (I live in Wicklow so was nice for the holiday vibe!). We had dinner nearby at Mortimers and it was so special. The outdoor area was a favourite of everyone and the bedroom layouts worked very well for 12 ladies. The space was very clean and comfortable - Especially the beds. Outdoor shower was a fun addition! Thank you both for the wonderful experience! I would recommend this listing to anyone!

50th Anniversary

Pete is an absolute marvelous host. Was very accommodating and considerate. Helped us find places and things to do. Assisted in shipping items back to the states, even dropping by at a moments notice to lend a hand. Everything was as stated in the listing, even better than we thought. If the time ever comes, we would gladly go back again.

Incredibly beautiful Lodge!

We LOVED our week stay at Pete and Una’s home in Ashford. The home is situated up on a hill surrounded by lush green and chirping birds. It was magical. So close to town for food and our favorite - Irish breakfast & coffee! The lodge is very unique, artsy, and equipped with everything needed. We felt right at home. Cozy, warm, extremely spacious for our family of five. It was such a comfortable haven for us to return to every day. My kids loved lighting the fireplace, showering in the outdoor shower, exploring the area, and especially having their own large bedroom and bathroom. It was the best! We hope to return to Pete and Una’s home. It made our trip so special and memorable. We appreciate how welcoming, helpful, and kind they were during our stay. Thank you! ❤️
