I would highly recommend this property. Ericka was so incredibly friendly and helpful. She really made us feel at home. We’d go back just to visit Ericka.
The accommodation is located very close to Glendalough and the Heather House Restaurant, which provides great food.

After a day of hiking, we got such a warm welcome; the fire was lit, our coats were taken to hang and the room was so warm. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, everything was spotless, and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

We got the wrong room, single instead of a twin accommodation but they sort it out for the first night and then the next day they gave us a twin room for the rest of the stay. Great and very friendly staff. The administration does a great job in training them and been visible to all. The only draw back was that we did not get our room clean during our stay, the garbage was full, we only got towels changed.

This is a perfect location for walkers & nature lovers.
This is a perfect location for walkers & nature lovers. The views are spectacular & if you're lucky with the weather, which we were, though it was February, there are some lovely walks in the area, both short & long-distance. Very popular with tour groups & families, especially at weekends ... lots of buggies, bicycles & dogs ... something for everyone! Lovely outdoor seating areas for coffee & snacks & tasty food in restaurant. Don't forget your camera for some memorable & scenic shots during your walks. Wear comfortable footwear to really enjoy & take advantage of the lovely walks, especially around the lake , up towards the waterfall ... so much to see & enjoy ... for adults, kids, & doggies too! Will definitely return!

We have visited Laragh on three different trips to Ireland, and we are always eager to return. It is a scenically beautiful area. We love walking the trails at Glendalough amid the ancient monastic ruins, and the drive through the Wicklow Mountains is stunning. Over the years, we also have enjoyed several day trips to nearby Russborough House with its art, gardens, interesting history, and excellent restaurant. The Wicklow Heather restaurant is world class, and the cafe in the center of Laragh has excellent homemade soups and food.
Laragh is a great part of any trip to Ireland.

Laragh is just over a kilometre away from the honey pot of Glendalough which, when we were there at the weekend, was heaving with visitors. Laragh is a good place to stay because you're away from the crowds and I suspect that the dining options are better than in Glendalough. There are lots of walks into the hills from Glendalough and it is indeed a beautiful place. The long distance Wicklow Trail passes within a kilometre of Laragh. Good public transport connections either direct from Dublin by coach or by train from Wicklow and there is a bus service to connect with the trains at Wicklow.

We stayed in Heather House a short trip from Trooperstown Lodge. Accommodation was beautiful with a terrific view, super clean and modern. Lovely and warm for the winter time, towels and hairdryer provided and very comfy bed with fluffy pillows. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was had in the restaurant next door which is a quaint, old fashioned restaurant. Lovely antique decorations and delicious food. Staff in both accommodation and restaurant were very friendly and helpful.
relaxing, quiet and unique stay in an absolutely stunning location. it's so easy to do this as a 1-2 night trip from Dublin, and the location is perfect. I didn't have a car and there are easy hiking trails right near the property to get to glendalough and the trails around the lakes; it's also so easy to walk down the hill to the restaurants in the small town. so cute, clean, and a great alternative to a traditional hotel/b&b. host was super friendly and accommodating.
The staff were exceptional, welcoming and friendly. The restaurant/bar menu was varied, portion sizes great. A little too generous for the evening meal, that is not a fault. Both meals we had there were delicious. The hotel oozes character, is extremely comfortable, and has a great ambience. The location is central to exploring Glendalough, Avoca and surrounding area. I would heartily recommend this hotel, and will certainly return.
The host we met, Erica, was just a joy, even in the wet weather she was beaming. I don't know if she was the owner but had that level of pride. Made sure we were okay. The grounds are landscaped, with lovely features. The "room" hard to describe as was so taking aback, good space, clean, privacy half partitions separating beds and living area.. Prefer this over a stuffy hotel room.
The house, area, and host were all exceptional. It provided the perfect home base for our family (3 generations) to explore various parts of Ireland as well as a comfortable place to kick back and spend togetherness time. Lisa went above and beyond in making us feel comfortable and welcome. I would go again in a heartbeat and would recommend to anyone.
It’s a very small town, so everything is pretty compact, and this hotel was in the middle of it. The room is nearly renovated, so it looks a lot nicer than the pictures, with white duvet covers and purple seating by the windows and purple and grey accent bedding. There are large seating areas outside the room and the room was a decent size.
Beautiful and peaceful patio with a magnificent garden! The hammock chair was a brilliant addition. The bird’s chirping outside our room was fun. The room and bed were comfortable. Our hostess was wonderful and extremely accommodating. I should remember her name, but I was extremely tired when we got there. So far this was my favorite place!
Friendly staff, much nicer than a B&B ( actual hotel), Location, great walk/ hike opportunities, " babbling brook " behind property was lovely... real brook " white noise" with windows open for sleeping. Do 2-3 nights minimum if you really want to relax. Wish we would have booked longer stay....we will next time.
Absolutely gorgeous B&B in a lovely location. Within walking distance to a couple restaurants (I highly recommend Wicklow Heather) and a beautiful back way to the Glendalough Cathedral through the woods. The breakfast was stellar and the bed was very comfortable. There were even friendly kitties outside!
Having read some of the reviews of hotel / restaurant I had reserved expectations, however I enjoyed my stay! The staff were very friendly, room was clean and warm (single room slightly basic). I imagine the main reason people stay in this hotel for the location and hiking
This was the best property we have stayed at during our 16 day holiday in Ireland. The room was perfect, clean and very spacious. The continental breakfast provided suited us. Very good value for money. Highly recommend.
Exterior of lodge looks nice and is in a pleasant garden. The breakfast waitress was polite and friendly. There are 2 pubs / restaurants in walking distance via a path from the lodge. Shower worked as it should.
Friendly staff. Proximity to Glendolough, 5 minute drive. Proximity to open air restaurant within walking distance. Parking space. Breakfast (extra pay) many options and made to taste. Large spacious rooms.
He location, the nature, the nearby archeological sites, and the wonderfully helpful receptionist and caretaker Eugenio. He is the best of Spain in the best of Ireland.
location is great for hikes in Wicklow national park, room is spacious, well furnished & private access. Sharon is a great host, giving valuable recommendations.
