Hotel is in a stunning location. The staff were friendly. I felt sorry for the young girl at reception who had to deal with a very rude, obnoxious, entitled American woman.
Our room was spacious and clean, had a nice hot shower.
They provide tea/coffee in the room, although no complementary biscuit that you get in other hotels - a biscoff biscuit would have been a nice touch.
We had lunch in the restaurant which was nice, however the restaurant and the other places to eat in the outside area were expensive. €22 for fish and chips seems excessive.
The hotel was fairly quiet too which surprised us considering its August. No much atmosphere in the bistro bar which was empty at 10pm except for the 3 of us.
We had breakfast too. The full Irish breakfast was tasty, coffee machine provided decent coffee. However, there were limited options at breakfast for people who didn’t want a full Irish breakfast. No pastries such as croissants or pain au chocolat - these things are cheap for hotels to provide. Cereal options was rice crispies and corn flakes- surely they could offer a few more cereal options?
Overall, our stay was enjoyable and relaxing but a few little simple extra touches and it could be a lot better. Will definitely go back and stay as Glendalough is a favourite spot of mine.
A beautiful and peaceful place, I wish we stayed longer. The bed was so comfortable, I didn't want to leave. It's also only a 5 minute drive to the Glendalough lakes.
A suggestion i have is to have more details on check in and check out, and someone readily available for any questions from guests. There was never really a person that was visibly around. When we reached we had to ring a bell and it took a while to speak to someone. When we left, we rang the doorbell so we could speak to the caretaker/reception around 1030am, but no one was around.
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage in Wicklow. The check-in instructions were provided on the morning of our arrival, making the process seamless. The cottage is well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a washing machine with a dryer function. The kitchen is fully stocked, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay.
