About this property

Shillelagh 2.3 miles. Resting within the countryside setting of County Wicklow (known as “The Garden of Ireland”), and a few miles from the quiet villages of Shillelagh, Clonegal and Carnew, is the idyllic, Old White Cottage. The bustling and well-services towns of Gorey, Tullow and Bunclody are all within a half-hour drive.

Be welcomed into the well-equipped kitchen, where you will be delighted by the country-style design boasting everything you could possibly need to cater your own delicious evening meals. From here, step into the sitting room where a woodburning stove greets you and offers a gentle warmth during the winter evenings. Look forward to relaxing on the sofa with your loved ones around and tuning into the TV to truly unwind, before heading to bed. The interior is completed by two brightly-decorated bedrooms, comprising of a double and a twin, each complete with a refreshing colour palette, as well as ample storage and the feature fire place within the double bedroom, which adds charm. During a balmy afternoon, look forward to spending time within the large garden, where the bench seating offers opportunities for a spot of alfresco dining or enjoying a glass of wine as the evening draws to a close. If you can tear yourself away from the wonderful base, head to the village of Shillelagh, where you will find all the amenities you will require, including a bar, shops, and even a walking stick makers! For those feeling adventurous, The Wicklow Way is nearby and offers an opportunity to explore the rolling countryside, endearing forests and upland lakes, and the nearby Tomnafinnoge Oak Wood offers more gentle strolls.

    We enjoyed our stay thanks

    It has enough space for four and offers one double and a twin bedroom. The little living room was perfect for enjoying the evening near the fireplace, and if you know that the hot water needs to be switched on and takes a while to be ready, you'll also manage the shower. ;) John did his best to make our stay nearly perfect, and the recommendations of the surroundings are worth a mint. Tomnafinnog oak forest and some nice hiking loops are within a distance of 15 min. If someone likes chocolate and afternoon tea, have a trip to the Chocolate Garden (Ratherwood - 15 min drive), and the Glendalough National Park is ~ 1 hour away. So, it is a wonderful place to start a journey in Wicklow County.

    The inside is cosy and charming and some local friends said it had been "done up" very well. We enjoyed our stay immensely despite a quirky shower which has now been fixed. John, our host, was very responsive to our needs and requests and must be commended for his good cheer and helpfulness.
