Daphne was an incredibly lovely host who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. She accommodated my request for a vegan breakfast without any hesitation, provided great advice for an evening meal, and would have provided me with a packed lunch as well if I had wanted. The residents lounge was a lovely area to relax and meet other guests. The property including the garden are beautiful and steeped in history. I was expecting only a simple room but it far exceeded this. The bed and room were cosy and comfortable with a very will appointed en suite. I had a wonderful view overlooking the garden and valley and was woken by the sound of the dawn chorus which was fabulous. I travel a good bit and must say that I was blown away with how amazing this place (and Daphne) was. It was reflected when talking to other repeat guests and with Daphne herself of course. If you have found this review and are undecided where to stay for your visit to Wicklow, I can truly tell you to stop searching and BOOK YOUR STAY NOW!

I stayed 4 nights, had a lovely room, the breakfast was great, and the beef casserole in the evening was amazing! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. There's a very special atmosphere at Jacobs Well. You can tell that the hotel is much loved by the owners and staff, as well as the customers.
Located in Rathdrum and only 12 km from Glendalough Monastery, Clissmann Horse Caravans Glamping provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

I loved staying at the Coolaingo B&B. The proprietor, Maura, was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful. She provided a truly exceptional breakfast. Room and facilities were immaculate. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful room in a lovely house on a gorgeous property. Well located for visiting the Wicklow area. Our host was generous with her hospitality.

The Tudor lodge was a B & B but the breakfast was additional cost and compared to other B & B's the cost is not competitive. Although very comfortable there was nowhere to sit and relax, we were there with family so we headed to the local pub to chat.

We liked the fact that the Rathdrum was situated in a nice quiet even remote area of Wicklow but yet not far from Wicklow town. The hosts were nice, very helpful and the breakfast was ample. I cannot comment on the main house we were only in the breakfast room as we were in the log cabin at the rear. I would recommend the Rathdrum for a nice quiet stay in the countryside.

Lovely village community, but nothing in the village to do.
Lovely village community, but nothing in the village to do. It's an area where you need your own transport to get around efficiently. Also traffic in village chaotic and parking in the village is inadequate. Nevertheless it is still a nice area to stay in and visit. We do hope to go back in the near future.

If there were awards for Hostess 's Francis would win First Prize for her hospitality and property.

Fairly centrally located for visiting historical attractions, or the coast. Not a big choice in eating establishments, but what they had was good. Would highly recommend “Bates” restaurant, down a charming alley. Sadly, “Avondale House”, a local attraction was closed for renovations. Do visit Glendalough!
The hospitality and friendliness of all the staff was exceptional. The food was excellent and enjoyed the white pudding at breakfast time. They were very helpful with our local enquiries about the area and the history of the district. We loved it and was sad when we had to leave. We would have liked to stay longer but reluctantly had to leave. Highly recommend this accommodation at Jacobs Well Hotel in Rathdrum in County Wicklow.
Tom was truly amazing host and our cabin was by far the most beautiful accommodation we've had so far in Ireland. We arrived later than normal check in time and Tom was super helpful and understanding. From the room to breakfast, it was a great experience, we'll definitely come back and recommend this place for a stay in Wicklow.
Tom was friendly and helpful on our arrival, giving us a quick tour of the apartment. The location was good with lots to do in the local area and a good sized shop located just down the road in Rathdrum. It was an excellent base to climb Lugnaquilla (the highest peak in the Wicklow mountains).
Tom greeted us and sized us up in the five minutes during check in. Rayworth siblings traveling through Europe.
Tom accommodated our need for breakfast at 0700, and I'm grateful. Beautiful property in late Spring time!!
Dinner at Jacobs Well Hotel was fantastic!!
We (3 sisters) had a fabulous stay here in Glenbeg for 2 nights in August. Close to some wonderful scenic areas of Wicklow. Comfortable beds, breakfast outstanding and price very reasonable. Wonderful host in Shelley. Definitely will return.
Very private accommodation, and a fantastic base for exploring Wicklow (especially the national park). Jomi was a fantastic host! She was very helpful with suggesting we use her dryer to dry our clothes when it started raining.
We liked everything. Mrs Ann was the best and her bed and breakfast was very clean and beautiful. We wish we could have stay our whole trip to Ireland at her place. Oh and breakfast was excellent. Thank you so much Ann..
If you’re looking for somewhere to stay to explore Wicklow, look no further. This little place is perfect with the added bonus of everything you need for a yummy breakfast. Thank you Frances, you are truly a super host.
Spotless, comfortable, modern apartment. Ann couldn't have been more helpful and obliging. Lovely treats left on arrival. Great location, quiet but central to alot of Wicklows scenic walks etc.
Very friendly hostess, delicious breakfast, pretty easy street parking nearby, great value for a comfortable room, and only a 15 minute drive to Glendalough. Would definitely stay here again!
Fabulous B&B, close by Avondale Forest Park, Clara Vale and Glendalough. Comfortable cosy bedroom (single), lovely owner and very good breakfast - a great choice for exploring Wicklow.
We loved the location and getting to see a bit of the real Ireland. The apartment was incredible and the apartment was so big. I only wish we had more time to spend there.
Very friendly host that gave good recommendations where to dine etc. Good start point to travel the Wicklow mountains. The room was nice and the breakfast excellent!
