“Kylebeg is just perfect!”

Cosy, warm, well-equipped, quiet... what more could you want? The cottage is perfectly situated near to the Wicklow Mountains and Blessington village with many amenities and the lovely Blessington Lake. The kitchen has everything you need and the underfloor heating means a warm home to come home to. The peat-burning stove is a lovely addition, but not necessary for warmth. Tony and Caroline are perfect hosts, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. I loved it!

“The owners were extremely friendly ...”

The owners were extremely friendly and the house was well stocked. However, the slanted ceilings in the bedroom made it difficult to move around. Also, the fact that the one bathroom was located right off of the kitchen, was slightly inconvenient.

“Wonderfull and typical stay”

Premier voyage en Irlande de grands voyageurs. L'Irlande telle qu'on la rêve. Cottage impeccable. Excellente situation. Propriétaires adorables. On a envie de prendre la nationalité irlandaise.

Caroline and Tony went the extra mile in providing nothing short of an outstanding experience of Wicklow Ireland. We would recommend this way to tour Ireland to anyone. Thanks so much.

“Very Nice”

Very Nice I booked this through Sykes Cottages and have to say it lived up to every bit of their description. Lovely cottage near Lacken on the east side of Blessington Lake. Very comfy and quiet – just what you need to relax on holiday. We never needed the wood burner as the under-floor heating keeps the rooms warm. Only downside were the cooking utensils’ but suspect they had been well used during the season. Expect a bit of a drive to places of interest as this is quite a remote location. The owners live close by and are very helpful and provide a wealth of local knowledge to help you get the best from your stay. I advise you get an ordinance survey map of the area as signage is not the best. Blessington has all the amenities you would expect from a small town with the addition of an Aldi and Supavalue. The Restaurants and Pubs offer meals to cater to all tastes and pockets. I do recommend the Wicklow Arms Hotel and the Bookshop Coffee shop. But to be honest we never had a poor meal in Blessington. Dublin is close by – If you want to visit I recommend you use one of the LUAS (Tram) park and rides on the N81 – 6.80 Euro for an adult day rover and 4.00 Euro per day parking. If you’re fishing, the permits will cost 15.00 Euro per week and you will need one for trout and a separate one for coarse fish. To be honest the fishing was a little poor with limited access down to the lake. Also be aware that we were warned that lakeside car parks suffer from quite a bit of theft at the weekends as you will see from all the broken window glass around. Just do not leave valuables in the car!! The Wicklow Mountains are well worth the visit and you will have a great holiday in this area.

“Peace & tranquilty in Co. Wicklow”

I've stayed at several Hogan's cottages in Ireland over the years and never had a bad one, they've all been good, each one different in their own way. Kylebeg Cottage is certainly no exception, a wonderful base for me to go exploring far and wide, which is what I usually do in pursuit of my interest - Irish castles. However, on this occasion the locality also was just begging to be explored, and the Wicklow Mountains was a must on my itinerary and certainly they lived up to expectations, even in the rain! Anyway, I digress, the cottage didn't disappoint, very peaceful, very comfortable, everything one should need to hand, and with lots of wildlife to see (outdoors!). The friendliness of the owners Carolyn & Tony was a bonus - close at hand if required, without being at all intrusive. Thanks for a great holiday. PS. The key's in the post!!

“Wonderful Property”

Wow, what a stay! We booked this cottage to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Dublin and we were rewarded! i have to say it was tough finding this cottage. I printed directions from Dublin airport to the cottage and that helped us to get to the vanity of the cottage but we were going around in circles. the locals helped a lot and it was very welcoming! an older gentleman on his morning walk gave us direction to the cottage with places of reference, because there are no street signs or names; he told us "welcome to Ireland" and we all laughed. Once we got there Tony welcomed us and let us know that the Cottage is occupied (were got there at 9am) but he took all our luggage and told us what is around there to try and have some good real food. We took Toni’s advice and visited a breakfast place "Avoca" which is like a Whole Foods here in the states. it was a very nice breakfast compared to the Aer Lingues food. He also let us know where to go shopping for a wifi device, which is a MUST if you are traveling to Ireland! We would be still in Ireland if we did not have navigation. We got back to the cottage around 3pm and it was clean and beautiful! The whole property was beautiful and right next door there was a sheep farm which was a hit with out one year old. The lake views from the road, which was perfect for morning and evening photograhs Tony and Caroline always came by to make sure everything is going well with out stay and give us recommendations on where to go next. It was a pleasure to stay in their cottage and we will definitely visit again!

“Fabulous holiday”

We are just back from a fabulous week staying in Kylebeg cottage Wicklow. The owners Caroline and Tony could not be better hosts. We arrived to this gorgeous cottage and were greeted with beautiful home made scones and told about all the places of interest in Co Wicklow. Our two girls quickly made friends with Caroline and Tonys girls and miss them terribly. The cottage has everything you need and is in the most amazing setting. We woke every morning to this tranquil countryside feeling refreshed and ready to take on the days sight seeing. It is a five minute drive from the nearby town of Blessington which has every amenity you need. Another place worth visiting nearby is Russborough House just outside Blessington. It has a fabulous park, maze and cafe. We will definitely be back to Kylebeg Cottage.

“Wonderful retreat”

Our stay at Kylebeg was just wonderful!! The owners allowed us our privacy, but were very helpful when needed. It was so great to tune out technology and just relax. We road tripped everyday so we didn't spend a great deal of time at the cottage in the day but we spent every evening there. So cozy and comfortable with modern conveniences- the perfect use of the space!! In a great rural location, within driving distances to some wonderful spots- would definitely stay here again!!

“didnt want to leave”

off the beaten track with lovely surrounding countryside. lovely welcome by the owners who lived next door, thank you for the home made scones and jam on arrival. warm and cosy with a great wood burner, and fresh decor with modern furniture. The bed was very comfortable with nice bedding. Enjoyed turning the blackberry off and relaxing for a few days, would definitely return.
