The owners of the property were thoughtful and extremely helpfulâ¦â¦.above and beyond providing help and support with a sick dog. Donalâs love of his home is evident in how he has planned seating to admire the views and how he encouraged us to walk on his property. Despite a poorly dog we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Loft.

Donal was only too happy to help us and provided us with useful information on where to go, eat out etc. The accommodation was in lovely surroundings. I would recommend this property to my friends if they were going to Ireland.

On arrival Donal was welcoming, showed us around and supplied a list of places to go, restaurants and takeaways (nothing on his list disappointed!) The Loft was spotless, everything we expected, rustic farmhouse character with really modern bathroom and en-suite, the grounds are great! Our children (2girls & a dog) had the run of the place, feeding the chickens, hide and seek etc. Donal the host was great, Co.Wicklow is great (so much to explore and do!) looking forward to returning soon.
