Absolutely phenomenal

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this property with a group of four friends on a mountain biking trip to Wicklow. I cannot say enough about the property and Carol. The scenery around the property is absolutely breath taking and ideal for anybody looking for a secluded get away be it with a group of friends or romantic weekend away with a partner the building itself is undescribable in its beauty I believe Carol mentioned it was built in the 1760s and after showing pictures to friends back home everybody came to the conclusion that it was picked up out of your French vineyard and drops into Wicklow. Carol could not of been of more help at our checkin providing Maps of the area and a vast knowledge of events going on in nearby locations for anyone travelling on an adventure holiday it is an ideal location as it is near every adventure park in the area if you are looking to go mountain biking it’s only a five minute drive from Carrick and a 35 to 45 minute drive to the gap mountain bike centre If you’re looking to get away I cannot recommend this property enough and We will definitely be returning with our girlfriends to see Carol again thank you very much!!

Just book it... it will not disappoint

The most magical place ever… falling off the grid into luxury… nothing to fault

Location was amazing. Lovely area for kids to play. Cottage was comfy and clean. Shower was amazing. Staff were so friendly.

This property is centrally located with attractions such as Glendalough monastic centre and some very good gardens that are open to the public. Lots of woodland walks available and some nice towns and villages close by too. Use of a sat. nav. is useful with so many roads to navigate. The lodgings were very comfortable and well equipped. The owner was very welcoming and helpful and very tuned in on precautions on corona-virus making it a stress free holiday. We would highly recommend this place if you want a complete break in the Wicklow hills with scenery to match.

Absolutely fantastic, Carol was such a brilliant host. The location and the cottages are incredible

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting. The location is phenomenal in terms of access to all the major attractions and towns in Wicklow.

Quiet Relaxing and Rejuvenating Stay

Beautiful setting Perfect location for exploring Wicklow Exceptional play ground provided for young ones. Each house had table and chairs in separate areas outside. Carol could not have done more.

It was exactly what we needed

I loved it was self catering and we had a whole house to ourselves. There was a fabulous playground which was a lifesaver with 2 small kids and the property had everything we needed and more.

Lovely stay

Stayed in a one bed apartment which had everything needed for our stay including the bonus of a stove. Comfortable bed, quiet place, lovely courtyard in which to take a morning coffee, weather permitting!

Cozy holiday home

Thank you for your warm welcome in March. It was a very cozy, relaxing weekend. The holiday home is very quiet and you feel like being free and far far away from the rest of the world. Perfect for calming down of busy weeks. Thanks for having us. We are looking forward to coming back after Covid-19 🙂

Homely place on natures door step

Location was brilliant, with loads of walks and trails on our door step. This property felt like the holiday we’ve been dreaming of, peace, comfort and everything we needed was at the property. If you lucky enough to meet bubbles she’ll greet you each time you head home… and home is how it feels. After just after a few hours at this property it felt homely warm and just perfect for the break from city life. Can’t wait to come back and carol was brilliant and helpful for our stay.

Just loved it, would go back in a heartbeat

Idyllic, peaceful place to stay. The house was spotless, warm and cosy with everything we needed. Carol, our host, was very friendly and helpful, there if we needed her without being intrusive.

You won’t regret staying here. It’s a beautiful, cozy, warm, quiet, clean & safe place.

I loved the beautiful property and the surrounding location. It is a beautiful, clean, cozy, warm place. We all enjoyed it. We were all warm and comfortable and we’d all love to return. The host is a real lady. : ) Short drive to Glendalough too. We’ll be back.

Perfect for a weekend away! Your own space. Perfect way to sway from it all.

Carol was great to communicate with, her instructions and directions were very clear. She is an extremely friendly lady. The information folder was detailed and helpful. The unit was lovely. The living area was large and comfortable. The 3 bedrooms were all very large and each had an ensuite. The furnishing are tasteful and add a homely feel. The kitchen was fully equipped with appliances and utensils. Fresh eggs were on hand each day. The grounds are outstanding! Very very pretty and there is a playground any kid would love. Thanks Carol and Bubbles for ensuring we had a marvelous stay, much appreciated.

It was a great hideaway, cosy and perfect time out

Peace, tranquility and in the midst of all the best Wicklow has to offer. Lovely place to relax and enjoy the Wicklow countryside. Lovely wee find. Looking forward to visiting again in the future.
I didn’t like leaving. I wish we stayed longer and I can’t wait to be back at the Croney byrne again in the future. Beautiful place.

Everything was perfect

Beautiful location. Very friendly owner, Carol, has obviously gone to great lengths to make the holiday homes as comfortable as possible. Great information booklet and basket of cooking essentials as well. Nice attention to detail. Two days of great weather provided too, as requested…
Great host, location, ambiance, facilities and location. A return visit will be booked soon.

It was all fantastic, even the weather.

Tolles Anwesen, liebevoll eingerichtet, herzliche Gastgeber. Super Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Ausflüge in Wicklow. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Logement très bien équipé, chambre spacieuse, confortable et bien décorée, très bien placé pour visiter la région. Notre hôte Carol toujours prête à nous conseiller. Très bien pour commencer notre voyage.

Perfect relaxing weekend in the country in a gorgeous holiday home.

Beautiful location for a quiet weekend away in the country side. The holiday homes were lovely and so cosy. Carol the host was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again 😊.

Peaceful, just the perfect getaway

Carol met us on arrival and showed us how to work the stove, microwave, TV, heating etc. She showed us where the laundry facilities where and even the hens who laid fresh eggs every day – what a treat for the children to collect eggs for breakfast ! They had a playground and playhouse and lots to keep them busy and explore – was just the perfect location to take my parents away for a few days with my family, so relaxing and comfortable from start to finish. Towels were provided and carol checked if we needed anymore. There was tea & coffee and everything to make our stay like home from home perfect

Wonderful little one bedroom house

Arrived at the property and was very pleased to discover that what is advertised as “double room with Park view” is in fact a beautiful little one bedroom house! What a lovely surprise! Lovely accommodation in a perfect location to make the most of all the beautiful walks Wicklow has to offer! Carol is a lovely host and more than helpful with any information you need! The little welcome basket is a lovely touch. I can’t wait to come back here for a cosy winter weekend and get to use the wonderful stove in the sitting room! Lovely little find and can’t wait to return! Noticed also some lovely play areas and little hidden swings and treehouses. This would be a great holiday home for families with children also.
Nothing to fault at all!
Paní, na nás čekala již s připravenými klíči a byla velmi pozorná a milá. Pokoj byl skvěle připraven a během pobytu nam zde bylo příjemně. Mohu jen doporučit.

Lovely weekend stay at Croneybyrne Courtyard. Highly recommend!

A lovely cottage in a peaceful countryside location with easy access by car to places of interest. Carol was an excellent host.

Beautiful Country Property

This is a beautiful country apartment in the Wicklow Mountain area. There is a nature park just down the road. It was a lovely place for us to relax and rejuvenate. Each bedroom had an ensuite bathroom which was very convenient. Carol is an excellent hostess and told us about her millinery business which we found very interesting. This was just the visit we needed before returning home.

Super séjour en pleine nature

Magnifique maison en pierre avec tout le confort. La propriétaire Carol nous a très bien accueilli. Nous nous y sommes sentis tellement bien que nous n’avions plus envie de partir. Merci

Excellenet séjour! Nous reviendrons !

Carol war sehr zu vorkommend, sympathisch und hilfsbereit. Auch der Kamin und das abendliche Feuer haben uns nach den verregneten Tagen gut gefallen

Would highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay to explore Glendalough

Perfektes Cottage für Natur- und Tierfreunde.

Es hat alles super gepasst. Hat unsere Erwartungen mehr als übertroffen.
