Family Friendly Romantic and Spacious Country Lodge On Private Grounds

Authentic Irish cottage set in beautiful surroundings. Very remote and peaceful.

Although initially difficult to find Hollow Lodge once we had it was beautiful. Plenty of room and very comfortable. Sitting on the edge of the Wicklow mountains the scenery is stunning

A beautiful and homely stay and the host was easy to get hold of when needed and gave a quick response. However we didn't realise we would be paying extra for the gas and electric and also we had to clean any plates and cups before using.

Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings. With a great orchard for the children to runaround in. Plenty of fantastic walks and places to explore nearby.

Previously described as 'quirky' Hollow Lodge is indeed unique sitting at the end of a drive so well away from the road which is very quiet anyway. Deceptively spacious and really well laid out with 4 bedrooms and three washrooms, huge, yes, huge kitchen, and two sitting spaces. Well equipped including a washing machine and dishwasher, lots of crockery etc. Outside there's loads of space in an interesting garden, a paddock and orchard(delicious plums!). Plenty of parking. Heating and electricity are extra as stated so be prepared, we spent about €35 for the week with no heating used which we feel is very reasonable as there were six of us. The house was very clean on arrival, linen and towels scrupulously laundered. Aoife, our host, was very contactable and responsive, thank you. Minor plumbing issue sorted the same day. Knockananna has a pub, a shop with fuel, a lot of history and a great GAA club. Easy access to Wicklow area, Dublin about 90 minutes, as is Kilkenny. We drove indirectly from Rosslare stopping at several lovely towns on the way, don't rush, enjoy the drive. Very very easy booking via VRBO.

Excellent property in all aspects.

Charming quirky character cottage in remote rural area. We found the tiny en-suite a bit of a challenge and it was a shame the bathroom didn’t have a shower as we were sharing with friends, rather than family. A few things in the kitchen need an upgrade (fridge and cooker) but was fine as we mainly ate out. Lovely grounds and ideal for our exploration of the area. Thank you Aoife.

Hollow Lodge was a very comfortable family experience. We are a family that lives in three different places, England Scotland and Ireland and it was ab enjoyable place to meet. The house was bigger and better than the photographs showed.

We had a wonderful time staying at Aoife’s cottage in Wicklow. The children loved visiting the sheep each day and playing in the fields. Visits and walks at Glendalough, Altamont Gardens, Ducketts Grove, Russborough House, Greystones and Dublin for day trips. It was the very holiday we needed post Covid. Thank you to Aoife for all. We had a delightful time. xx

Lovely cottage out in the country but within easy walking distance to a shop and pubs. Great for a chilled week away. Little ones loved exploring and playing in the extensive garden.
