In ALL of my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined a more perfect/more magical home to stay in during my wedding weekend than Lisa's absolutely GORGEOUS Wicklow country home. I write this review not only as a world traveler but also as a "local" since my family lives down the road while I reside in the US. I visit multiple times a year so I know the area WELL and you will not find another airbnb/hotel that reaches the level of Lisa's. My level for what is outstanding is very high & you cannot get higher than what you will experience at Lisa's gorgeous home. It is the most stunningly decorated home, huge kitchen, luxurious bedrooms/baths, the beds are SO comfortable,the linens/soaps/EVERYTHING is 5 Star Hotel quality.You feel you are on an Irish movie set as this home is STUNNING inside & out with views of the Wicklow rolling hills & countryside.You will never find a better location! Steps to coffee/restaurants/pubs/hotels yet only an hour drive to Dublin. BEST AIRBNB I'VE EVER HAD!

We loved how we felt so welcome we were met even though our arrival was very late. The little extras such as fresh strawberries and eggs and large variety of tea and fresh coffee was appreciated. Fresh flowers from garden in the rooms. The house has great character and the conservatory was a perfect space for us to gather. Fabulous quality facilities to cook a meal. Great local pub (live music) and restaurant in walking distance. Lots of sites in walking distance. The monastic site walk and St Kevin’s church contemplation garden were lovely and interesting, could have stayed longer. Easy drive to Powerscourt gardens and to Dublin. Enjoyed reading local historical books provided by the host. Highly recommended and a credit to the host.

Love this house, it is such a gem in a beautiful and historic part of Ireland. This was the original school house and subsequently operated as a restaurant. The owner maintains it with such character and style. The conservatory and TV room really are the icing on the cake. Great for a family re union.

The location was stunning and very close to everything we wanted to do! Lisa was a great host and was very helpful in making our stay comfortable and was very quick to help us when we needed it. She was easy to contact and was very accommodating to our needs. The house was beautiful, full of character and very comfortable. We particularly liked the massive TV room and the conservatory for socialising. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back in future.

We spent 4 wonderful days with our enlarged family (along with 3 kids under 3). The house is just amazing: simply beautiful common spaces and the kitchen of my dreams! A place that really feels like home! Lisa is the perfect host: very precise and kind - she went out of her way to help us accomodate the kids the best possible way! Highly recommended☺️

The house was large and had a lot of character and charm. It was in beautiful surroundings. In a village with everything we needed for a family break. Large bathrooms and living areas. A stunning kitchen had everything wee needed including an AGA cooker. A large family living room with a massive TV and wood burner. The Host, Lisa was lovely, she checked we had everything and was helpful with finding things to do in the area. The house had absolutely everything we needed and included all the extras that make a family trip less stressful. Lisa kindly had milk and other necessities in for us arriving. We had a relaxing family break that both kids and adults throughly enjoyed. We can’t wait to visit again. The kids didn’t want to leave.

A wonderful property in a peaceful environment with everything we can dream of, near the magic site of Glendalough. The bedrooms are comfortable and lovely with tiny details that add charm to the whole. Two large libraries full of books ! with fireplaces... A lovely spacious conservatory, full of charm, next to the fitted kitchen with all the necessary equipment (Aga cooker) and even the first necessities : tea, coffee, sugar, oil ... waiting for us in the cupboards. Lisa, our host was more than a host, she now is our friend. A wonderful experience indeed ! And now, we are longing to go back !

On May 11th 2024 we used the Old school house laragh, as our venue for our small and intimate wedding. We cannot express just how amazing this venue was, alongside the hosts who worked so hard to make our day so special. The grounds are stunning, and the house is beautiful. Our hosts provided a four course meal for all our guests, made by an exceptional team of chefs. The food was 10/10, and was clearly cooked with love. This also included a home cooked selection of canapes. They tailored the menu to us entirely. This wasn't just it, the hosts also made us beautiful cocktails for our evening guests too and served drinks throughout the day. I cannot express just how hard the hosts worked throughout the day to make our day perfect. Very easy going and flexible with our needs. There is not a bad word to say about this venue, and all the hardworking hosts, we will always be thankful for all that they did and no doubt will we be back in the near future. Truly, they went above and beyond for us.
