    Nothing, everything was great.

    Suzanne, the host, was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were great and Suzanne supplied portable air conditioning for us US travelers who like to be cool. Lots of cold drinking water, too. Breakfast was amazing with many choices and fresh fruit. The bath towels were oversized, good for the after travel shower. Highly recommend this b&b.

    The property is set in the most beautiful surroundings, it’s stunning and peaceful. I wish we had booked longer! Suzanne has thought of everything to make your stay as peaceful and as welcoming as possible. Everything is clean and the beds are so comfortable. Staying at Suzanne’s house is like a big hug. We loved it! Thank you Suzanne for making my birthday that bit more special, you are an absolute gem 💚

    Well, just look at the picture! It’s as pretty on the inside as out, and our hostess treated us like old friends. The rooms are outfitted with all new lamps and switches; the shower is divine, and the bed and linens comfy. There’s tea and coffee in the room in the afternoon, and yummy breakfast in the morning with fresh fruit and homemade yogurt, jams, and breads.

    A great house surrounded by the picturesque and peaceful forests of the Wicklow mountains. The hostess was very friendly and sociable, eager to make our stay perfect. The double bed was very spacious, the room well-equipped, including tea/coffee. The soft wall-to-wall carpet made it even more cozy. The breakfast, which we didn't even expect, was fabulous.

    We stayed at many beautiful spots over 10 days in Ireland and this was our favorite. The host, Suzanne, is fantastic, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness. Beautiful property located a short drive from Wicklow National Park and Glendalough, which are nothing short of incredible. Nice restaurant and pub a long walk or short drive down the road as well. Breakfast was gorgeous. Almost went out of our way to stay here again at the end of our trip even though it would have necessitated an extra hour and half of driving, it was that nice.

    My stay wasn't long enough to explore Glendalough and surround walking trails. Have rebooked for a longer stay for next time visiting Wicklow.

    Forest View Woodland Lodge was absolutely superb — well beyond what was advertised. The accommodation was spotless, spacious, and beautifully situated, with every detail thought of. It’s a perfect base for exploring Glendalough and the surrounding area, and the hosts were welcoming and professional. Provided alot of information regarding walking trails also and were to visit. A quick note for future guests: when approaching the lodge, you’ll pass a neighboring farm that looks quite rundown and unkempt. Don’t let that throw you — it’s not at all representative of the area or of the standard you can expect at the lodge. Once you arrive, you’ll find the property is in a completely different league — peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained.

    Hmm, I don't know where to start , first of all a huge thank you to you Suzanne for your idea and the hard work you do there. Thanks to that we could feel at home there. Amazing place, incredibly clean well maintained house, peace and quiet , wonderful to relax from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You won't come, you won't experience, you won't understand.
