    The location is excellent. Really close to all amenities and locations such as Johnnie foxes, bray and the Wicklow mountains. The cottage is situated in a very peaceful area. Use of the tennis court was a great addition. Communication from the hosts was very good and they were helpful when we had a question.

    It needs a good deep clean! The bathrooms and bedding were clean but some areas were very grubby, such as the inside of the fridge and we have to scrub the oven pan and grill as it was so sticky. There were also coffee stains splashed up the stairs that we cleaned up ourselves. Lots of cobwebs on the windows too. The downstairs area is very small, there were 4 of us and we felt squashed in. Some of the furniture needs updates as cupboard doors were hanging off and no blinds on some windows.

    Hi Lucy, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and the easy access to spots like Johnnie Fox’s, Bray, and the Wicklow Mountains, and that you got to enjoy the tennis court as well! I’m truly sorry the cleaning wasn’t up to standard for your stay. While we’ve already carried out a full deep clean since then, I’ll be following up directly with our cleaner to ensure this doesn’t happen again. You’re right that the downstairs is compact. We’re planning a renovation in early 2026 to open up the living space and add a third ensuite upstairs, which we’re excited about. Thanks again for your honesty, it helps us improve. All the best, Daniel

    The space, particularly upstairs was exceptional and the location was perfect.

    The kitchen and living room felt a little small compared to the rest of the property.

    Property response:

    Hi Stephen, thanks for your review and feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay despite the weather and delayed ferry crossings. I wholeheartedly agree with you on the tight downstairs living room and kitchen area, it is something we are hoping to rectify this year through renovation. Kind regards, Daniel.

    Lovely quiet and tranquil setting behind secure gates in a semi-rural location yet with easy access to the local roads and nearby tram system that made it a great base for exploring Dublin and out into the Wicklow countryside. Three spacious and comfortable bedrooms.

    Although The Nook sleeps six, it doesn’t easily accommodate that number together in the sitting room or around the dining table. Worked fine for 5 playing card games around the table (once we’d brought a garden chair in for the fifth person), but watching tv together wouldn’t have worked as comfy chairs only seat 3 in the sitting room, though other sitting areas for one of two exist elsewhere in the house. Kitchen fine for breakfast prep, but equipment more limited had we wanted to cook in the evenings, and for our stay hampered by there only being four forks (though I’m sure this will have been rectified by now). Tennis court was great, but when we where there quite algae covered and slippy with a dull bounce, so fine for family fun but would have been tricky if we’d been serious players. All in all, it worked for us, but could be trickier for groups of six wanting to eat and relax together.

    Property response:

    Hi Simon, Thanks for your review and glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Thanks as well for the constructive feedback. We have just had the tennis court professionally cleaned and treated for a better bounce. Also, we are aware of the limited downstairs living area and have plans to renovate in the near future. Until then, we only host a maximum of 5 guests. Kind regards, Daniel

    Great location as a touring base for Dublin and the surrounding areas. The property is in a very safe location, lovely garden with seating to soak up the sun. We did have one problem when we arrived but the speed with which this was addressed and corrected was astonishing and great credit to the hosts for their actions, they couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful, Overall a great holiday and I would have no hesitation in returning to this property.

    Everything was just fine

    Beautiful surrounding area. Beds very comfortable.

    Unfortunately this property did not spark joy for us. We were travelling with a young family (4yr old and a 10 month old). There was a smell of damp in the ground floor living area which made that space quite unpleasant to spend time in. The main bathroom upstairs emanated a sewage smell at night time which we found quite unpleasant.

    had everything a house would need. Clean and very quaint. countryside surroundings very picturesque. close to main routes.

    Would benefit from a small fridge welcome pack to include small amounts of butter, bread, milk and bottled water (recommend 2) - tea and coffee was present in cupboards. Just to cater for late arrivals and following morning breakfast.

    Hi Kenneth, Thanks for the kind words. Yes, a small welcome pack would help late arrivals so will keep this in mind. All the best, Daniel

    Beautiful country house, very quiet, spotless, child-friendly and beautiful. Excellent beds.

    As an accommodation for up to 6 people, kitchen could have had a bit more "gear" such as plates, cooking pans and such. Only that. Because kitchen technical appliances such as kettle, bread-rooster and dish-washer were plentiful. Further kitchen was spotless and functionable.
