The cozy little studio was perfect for our family of 3. A short drive away from scenic walks, a good restaurant and a quiet place if you want to just spend time indoors relaxing or outdoor within the property with your children.
Boasting picturesque views of the Wicklow Mountains, Birchdale House is nestled in the rural setting of Greenan, 5 minutes’ drive from Rathdrum.

Breakfast was delicious. Tom and Sam are so friendly and even in the middle of his busy morning, Tom found time to give us suggestions for places to stop on the Sally Gap drive to Dublin. Would definitely come back again.

Everything about the stay was wonderful. Yep the scones were beautifully homemade as was the wonderful breakfast. We even enjoyed a ride to and from the local pub. Out of the park hospitality. Highly recommended if in the vicinity!

We got the wrong room, single instead of a twin accommodation but they sort it out for the first night and then the next day they gave us a twin room for the rest of the stay. Great and very friendly staff. The administration does a great job in training them and been visible to all. The only draw back was that we did not get our room clean during our stay, the garbage was full, we only got towels changed.

This is a perfect location for walkers & nature lovers.
This is a perfect location for walkers & nature lovers. The views are spectacular & if you're lucky with the weather, which we were, though it was February, there are some lovely walks in the area, both short & long-distance. Very popular with tour groups & families, especially at weekends ... lots of buggies, bicycles & dogs ... something for everyone! Lovely outdoor seating areas for coffee & snacks & tasty food in restaurant. Don't forget your camera for some memorable & scenic shots during your walks. Wear comfortable footwear to really enjoy & take advantage of the lovely walks, especially around the lake , up towards the waterfall ... so much to see & enjoy ... for adults, kids, & doggies too! Will definitely return!

We have visited Laragh on three different trips to Ireland, and we are always eager to return. It is a scenically beautiful area. We love walking the trails at Glendalough amid the ancient monastic ruins, and the drive through the Wicklow Mountains is stunning. Over the years, we also have enjoyed several day trips to nearby Russborough House with its art, gardens, interesting history, and excellent restaurant. The Wicklow Heather restaurant is world class, and the cafe in the center of Laragh has excellent homemade soups and food.
Laragh is a great part of any trip to Ireland.

Laragh is just over a kilometre away from the honey pot of Glendalough which, when we were there at the weekend, was heaving with visitors. Laragh is a good place to stay because you're away from the crowds and I suspect that the dining options are better than in Glendalough. There are lots of walks into the hills from Glendalough and it is indeed a beautiful place. The long distance Wicklow Trail passes within a kilometre of Laragh. Good public transport connections either direct from Dublin by coach or by train from Wicklow and there is a bus service to connect with the trains at Wicklow.

It was fantastic trip, scenery was amazing. We stayed at Glendalough glamping and expectations exceeded itself. It was spotless and both Debbie and Pat were very helpful and friendly. Recommend the Wicklow heather for food.

This is a fantastic property in a perfect location- right on the edge of the Wicklow Mountains National Park. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the continental breakfast was convenient, tasty, and plentiful. Our host Sharon was super helpful, and she really went "above and beyond" when she mailed (at her expense!) my wife's jewelry bag to our home in the U.S. after it was left behind accidentally. Overall, this property is an outstanding value and would give it my highest recommendation!
The location is excellent for hikers and the little cabins are comfortable and make a unique experience to sleep in. As the beds were very comfortable we slept really well and, as there is basically only nature around you, it is very quite.
The shared bathrooms have individual cabins for taking a shower, and were very clean. There is a well-staffed kitchen if you want to cook your own dinner, or you can take a 7 minute walk down to the village to eat at a restaurant.
The staff were exceptional, welcoming and friendly. The restaurant/bar menu was varied, portion sizes great. A little too generous for the evening meal, that is not a fault. Both meals we had there were delicious. The hotel oozes character, is extremely comfortable, and has a great ambience. The location is central to exploring Glendalough, Avoca and surrounding area. I would heartily recommend this hotel, and will certainly return.
The house was very well presented- Erika was very welcoming and helpful. Our room was very nice with a comfortable bed and excellent shower room. There was a small kitchen with coffee pods, milk etc. Comfortable sitting areas with lovely views. Wicklow Heather restaurant beside for meals- note breakfast from 9.30 weekdays, 9.00 weekends
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.
This was a good value for money option in a great (and very beautiful) location in the Laragh/Glendalough area. In easy walking distance to the Glendalough monastic complex and national park area. The owner was friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable and clean. Can't ask for much more.
Old worldly feeling of this hotel. Service was excellent. The location in the Victoria district meant it is proximate to many bars and restaurants including a venue The Corner where authentic old time music is played. Stroll across the bridge and you are in the town centre.
The location was the reason we got this hotel and it was the only thing we liked, but staying in the town close to the entrance of the park is not bad. For those who want to visit the park, I would recommend staying in Larragh.
While there are no restaurant facilities at the lodge, the Heather House Restaurant is a very short walk. We had a wonderful dinner there the night we arrived. In addition, you get 10% off breakfast and it was outstanding!
The property is beautiful and in such a wonderful location! Erica is the sweetest ever and the staff at the restaurant were so friendly and accommodating. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they made it extra special!
Property is beautiful! Feels secluded but is very close to the village of Laragh. Facilities were outstanding and everything was pristine. Pods were very comfortable and we slept really well! Staff were very friendly.
He location, the nature, the nearby archeological sites, and the wonderfully helpful receptionist and caretaker Eugenio. He is the best of Spain in the best of Ireland.
