    We had a great stay. Please stay in touch. The cottage was in a perfect place within close distance to Dublin and the wedding place at Kilkea Castle. This was an amazing time for us.

    It had everything we needed, and provided a comfortable base for our short break close to Dublin. Thank you.

  • "What a great cottage in a great location."

    Far enough from Dublin to feel rural yet close enough to the Luas train (Red Cow Station) that you can get into the city in no time - without the grief of dealing with traffic and parking. Friendly owner, cozy cottage. Lots of nearby grocery stores and restaurants. If you're tired of staying in a hotel and just want to feel at home this is the place for you. I'd highly recommend Borahard Lodge for your stay.

  • "The owner and her family couldn’t have been kinder."

    They were extremely helpful with directions, as well as helping us navigate trains, buses etc. We had a toilet seat that was loose and her son came and fixed it immediately. We needed more towels, Bridie brought them immediately. We felt safe there and would take walks on their farm. We even met their sweet dog Dora who we would always look forward to being greeted by when we returned home. I highly recommend their homey farm cottage.

    You can hear the traffic from the nearby main road, but it did not spoil our stay or prevent sleeping. It is an excellent base for exploring the Wicklow Mountains. Newbridge and Naas have all the shops and excellent restaurants.
