"We had a really good week at Macreddin Rock."
The cottage might look small from the outside but it has plenty of space inside and is finished to a good standard. The village of Aughrim is only 5 minutes away by car and has a fantastic coffee shop/bakery, as well as a couple of general stores and a pub. In addition the cottage is really nicely located to be able to reach most of Co. Wicklow’s best sights within half an hour or so (we’d recommend Glendalough and Beyond the Trees at Avondale

"Our stay at the Irish holiday cottage was absolutely wonderful."
The house is set in a stunning location with breathtaking views of the lush green countryside. It offered peace and seclusion, making it the perfect escape from everyday life. The cottage was cozy, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean, with all the amenities we needed. The fireplace added a warm, inviting touch to the evenings, and we felt at home instantly. The hosts were friendly and provided great tips for exploring the local area. Overall, it was an great experience.

"Outstanding holiday cottage and thoroughly enjoyable stay."
One of the best we have stayed in. If we were to be really picky then would have liked a couple more large bowls as only two and a new ironing board cover.
Hello Andrew Thank you for your great review and nice compliment. We are delighted you enjoyed and have noted the missing items you mention. Kind regards Michael & Margaret Property Owner

"Very happy with this sc property."
Good parking space . Very comfortable bed. We did miss a small dressing table in en-suite bedroom which was the bedroom we used as it would have given us some wider drawers for sweaters., Kitchen equipment was good . We did miss egg cups!! Good choices of programmes on tv. And Wi-Fi was excellent.
Hello Elaine Thank you for your nice review, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and have noted your observation of missing items. Hopefully we will see you again sometime in the future. Kind regards Michael & Margaret Property Owner

"Thank you for a lovely stay!"
Comfortable, homely and spotless. Has everything you need and more. Feels safe and secure for small child and plenty of space for a family to stay and not be on top of each other! The wet room is a great addition for those with any mobility problems. The kitchen has all you need and plenty of storage. The addition of a washer and dryer was particularly useful with the weather and the need to wash socks from soggy trips out! A great base to explore Wicklow but also to travel further afield too. The shop in Wicklow would have all you need but for a bigger choice Arklow or Rathdrum is only a short drive away. The shopping centre in Arklow provided a great hide out during storm Lillian - trip to the cinema, shopping and dinner was the perfect distraction from the wind and rain!! We would most definitely stay here again and also recommend it to anyone looking for a cottage stay.

The cottage was lovely, the photos did not do it justice. Everything was clean and comfortable. Michael and Margaret were wonderful hosts, very friendly. We had a wonderful meal at the local hotel and my husband enjoyed the golf course across the road. Would recommend.

"Awesome cozy little cottage and super friendly and helpful hosts."
The cottage is newly renovated and up to a very modern standard. The living area is super comfy with nice couches and an electric stove. The kitchen is very modern with very good appliances. The WiFi is also top notch. We slept like babies and loved every second of our stay. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay here again.
Hello Johannes Apologies for not replying to your lovely review so long ago, it was really nice of you to let us know you enjoyed and your compliments are much appreciated. The Cottage was off the letting platform for a period during the closures of the pandemic so I was not on the home screen so much.

When the sun is shining, sit outside in the garden and enjoy a refreshing cold drink while you let the children run around, or step out first thing in the morning with a coffee.
Just a few minutes down the road from this delightful property is BrookLodge, a renowned eco-minded hotel and leisure complex, home to four restaurants and a pub all serving organic food and drinks, when you want to enjoy a special evening out with your loved ones.
The town of Aughrim a few miles down the road is where you can find local shops and pubs, with footpaths and walks beginning from all around you, you won't have to go far to start your Irish adventure.

Also a very popular destination not to be missed is Glendalough, meaning "Valley of two lakes", which is a glacial valley in County Wicklow, renowned for an Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin - from 1825 to 1957, the head of the Glendalough Valley was the site of a galena lead mine, and today Glendalough is also a recreational area for picnics, for walking along networks of maintained trails of varying difficulty, and also for rock-climbing.
Macreddin Rock Holiday Cottage is a beautiful property set amongst the wonderful Irish countryside bursting with opportunities to enjoy a break away.
