Combine outdoor adventures with city exploits when staying in this fantastic country cottage, a property set within the Wicklow Mountains yet just a short drive away from Dublin city centre (20.5 miles).

Inside, you'll find cosy interiors inviting four guests to stay, an ideal base for holidaymaking friends or family.
