I had an amazing self catering trip in the Clonabreany House in Crossakiel. Though I think they mainly do weddings and venues but the holiday cottages are amazing if there is availability. And I really prefer not having to wake up for over price brekkie but rather sleep in. its handy, just an hour or so from Dublin and near Kells lots to do also http://www.clonabreanyhouse.ie/
Sounds like really good break Peter, both those Wicklow cottages look great. Can anyone recommend a good site for finding self-catering places in Ireland, particularly in Dublin? I have some friends planning to come over for a holiday with their 2 young children so self-catering would probably be the best option for them. I’ll send on a link to your post to sell them on self-catering in Ireland.
Aughavannagh Cottage is well worth a visit- close to the Maze at Greenan and a lovely pub in Glenmalure and one of the nicest cotatges I’ve stayed in in Ireland or anywhere else. Total bliss – solitude without isolation and about an hours drive south of Bray. http://www.holidaywicklow.com
The best thing is the views – amazing winter (snow on Lugnaquilla) or summer (great for the Wicklow Way).
