- Price on request
- 50m from Dublin
A closer look
A place with character.
The Wicklow Escape is modern rather than historic, which is a relief if the thought of another Georgian dining room is wearing thin. Seven garden rooms with their own entrances and a three bedroom cottage sleep 17, and the lodge is exclusively yours.
It sits in the middle of the Wicklow mountains yet is an hour from Dublin, so guests get remoteness without a long drive. Ceremonies happen on site and catering is in house.
