A closer look

A place with character.

Knockrose is a garden venue in old farm buildings high on the Dublin and Wicklow border, looking down over The Scalp. The Calm House handles ceremonies and small gatherings, and the grounds do the rest when the weather allows.

It is genuinely close to Dublin while feeling like the mountains, which is a rare combination. There is no accommodation on site and the property is taken exclusively.

Before you book

Worth asking.

How many does the Calm House seat, and where does dinner happen?
