Quiet escape

Ken was an excellent host , we were met on arrival and given all the information that we needed plus more. We had a problem with the internet but this was resolved first thing the next morning. The property was easy to find and located in a lovely and quiet gated enclosure. Nice and clean throughout with all the facilities that we needed for a perfect relaxing break. The property is ideally situated to explore the Wicklow mountains and is also on the coast to explore the coastal walks and excellent beaches. Also it is only 40 minutes away from Dublin on the train. I would thoroughly recommend this property and host to anyone looking to get away from it all and enjoy the stunning scenery.

Lovely house

Great wee house. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Really liked the extra touches like board games and tennis rackets for the courts at the back of the estate. Any queries we had were dealt with quickly. We would definitely stay again.

Wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Property and location just perfect for our stay. Totally relaxing break before a family wedding. Having said that - the hospitality, friendliness and helpfulness shown by Ken is second to none and for sure when we next visit the beautiful Wicklow area - we will hope to stay here again. Thanks Ken for allowing us to ‘recapture’ my grandson’s monkey 😂😂

Great holiday

The house was very clean when we arrived. Good instructions from Ken about when the house would be ready and a telephone call from him that evening to make sure everything was ok. The house had everything we needed. Great area, plenty to do, beaches, gardens and forest walks.

Very comfortable cottage in a great location

The cottage was ideal for our needs, comfortable and spacious enough for a family of 5. The location was also ideal, being very close to Brittas Bay beach, and also close to a number of good places to visit and nice towns. That area of Ireland is very beautiful, with a lot to offer and is very unspoilt. The owner, Ken, was very helpful and always responded promptly to any questions. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the cottage and that area of Ireland.

Home from home.

We have just had a great family holiday here. Beautiful house with everything we needed. Peaceful area, amazing beach down the road. Great links to other places, Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford. We didn't have any problems during our stay but the owners were only a phone call away had we needed any assistance. Will definitely be booking again. Xxx

Clean and well equipped house, very friendly owner

The house was in a good overall condition. The kitchen was well equipped with all necessary kitchenware. The location is beautiful situated in walking distance to the beach 10 min. With an owner who offered every support whenever needed for open questions it was a great stay at Brittas Bay Village. We would love to come back again!

perfect easter holidays

Very tidy and maintained house, with well equipped kitchen and very comfortable for us as family to stay at. Close to the beautiful beach and quick link to the motorway to Dublin or to the South. Perfect customer service of the owner. Restaurants are quite few and far between. Together with one week of sunshine = perfect easter holidays

Beautiful, Relaxing, and Great Location

Staying at Country Cottage by the Sea is just what we were looking for in our visit to Ireland. We had everything we could have asked for. The listing description was accurate in it's description of it's location, layout and facilities. We were able to drive to the property from the Dublin airport within about an hour (no traffic). Upon arrival, Ken introduced us to clean home with plenty of space to enjoy our vacation time in Ireland. We were thankful for the big kitchen with all the gadgets necessary to make some good meals during our stay. We were also thankful for the cozy beds with the nice, fresh linens. And finally during the evenings we were thankful to have access to watch television, and to use wifi to connect with the rest of our online world. While we were at the Country Cottage by the Sea, we enjoyed walking down to the Brittas Bay--only about a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute walk. We were easily able to drive up to Greystones within about 20-25 minutes to take the train into Dublin. We also enjoyed views of the lovely rolling hillsides as we drove all over Co. Wicklow, including trips to Glendalough, Wicklow, Arklow, Avoca, and Rathdrum. One day we drove an easy two hours to visit beautiful Kilkenny, including the Castle, the Black Abbey and the Cathedral. It is easy to say that we would highly recommend this property to our friends and relatives. Thank you, Ken, for providing a well-maintained, beautiful home in a great location.
