Cottages in Dún Ard

Location was great. The scenery was beautiful very quiet, beautiful Irish countryside.

My goodness, where to even begin ! First , this is Not a hotel , nor is it a ‘B&B’ . This is a grand ole home that the owners have graciously opened to the public - on a small scale . If one is looking for the latest greatest ‘comfort’ bells and whistles , do not come here : there is no cafe on-site , there is no restaurant , no 24-7 at the beck n call ‘service’ . Instead , this grand ole home has the patina of History , a dining room where once upon a time Michael Collins visited ( and so much more ! : Sean with a lifetime of experience and stories can relate the unparalleled history of the property — dating back to 1800’s — in a spellbinding way ) . The whole building is filled with a well-curated collection of historical furniture and arts , decoration : yet accessible and free to enjoy : an afternoon tea in the drawing room ; the lush grounds that were established in 1920’s , the Japanese Garden . : And yes , the beds are comfortable ; rooms impeccably clean and cared for . There is no dinner on command , but if the property happens to be at full capacity ( 6-8 persons ) , the option of dinner Is available : and very well worth to partake . Patricia’s culinary talents and creations are well restaurant worthy ! It was a brilliant time to enjoy the company of happenstance dining companions : some from overseas on an Ireland tour to continue their roadtrip the next day , some hikers off The Wicklow Way which is just up the road . Great to exchange stories over a delicious meal . I , myself just wanted to needed to get away from the city for a spell with my two little dogs - looking for quiet and tranquility , I could not have picked a better place : Sean a most gracious host making sure I am well looked after while allowing me ample opportunity to just enjoy my time without interference or interruptions . Truly a joy . A quiet understanding , I felt as if a houseguest for a few days’ visit . Remarkable .

A beautiful quiet location where peace and quiet, apart from the bird song, was so welcome😉

The landlord harassed my family and chased them away. On their way back, they had a fatal accident that almost took their lives away. I will make sure justice prevail on this matter.

We only stayed a night at the yellow heights country house after arriving in Dublin that morning, but it was a great place rest and recharge after a long flight. The beds were dreamy, lots of space and Maura the host was so welcoming!

Lovely little home! Very quiet and a relaxing place to spend the night. It had everything we needed!

1) The food: we had 2 superb lunches. 2) The staff: went out of their way to take care of us. Carless, we were attending a wedding at another property seven miles away on what (unknown to us) was the busiest weekend of the summer--taxis were not available. Joanna Fennel arranged for a staff member to shuttle us to the wedding events. 3) the ambiance of the working farm and the garden-to-table ethos; and 4) the bed was really comfortable.
