“Located in Glendalough Valley, the hotel is immersed in nature, a place to escape the city. The location allows direct access to the Monastic City and hiking trails. It's a family-run establishment with an authentic Irish atmosphere; though breakfast could use a healthier refresh, the comfortable rooms and rich history dating back to the 1830s make it a cozy place to consider.”
