Coolakay House

Stayed here for 5 nights. Traveling with family. Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Would definitely stay here again and look forward to coming back. We have a rental car and have done the park & ride in Dublin. It’s not a bad drive. A bit of a learning curve but totally worth it.

This is a really special place. The rooms and facilities are excellent and the location is beautiful, but what really makes it so good is the genuine, friendly, happy to help approach from Yvonne and Robert the owners. They were super helpful and kind. You can't possibly go wrong.

Great location, super friendly host. After 1 day Wicklow way we walked the extra 45 min to get here, lovely scenery. Great host, good room, smallish bathroom but effective. Offered a nivmce beer and packed lunch. Great organisation with taxi to Enniskerry.

We loved our room: there was nothing missing. And the landscape in which the B&B is located. The owner were extraordinary friendly and politely. He has got a big old tractor exhibition and she likes to take care for her guests. The breakfast was very deliciously and a lot of offers for cerealies and beverages.

We booked Coolakay House based on all the positive reviews but we thought it was overrated. The beds were very uncomfortable with very unpleasant springs and itchy sheets which had seen better days. There was also an extremely bright spotlight shining right in our windows all night long. The rooms were shabby as a whole and badly needed updating - the carpets were shabby and old which made them look less clean than they perhaps were. The rooms were also extremely cramped and narrow, as were the bathrooms. This made them difficult to use, especially if you have any, even mild, issues with mobility. The biggest problem was with trying to pay, which was made far more difficult than it should have been. We made the assumption that a professional business in the 21st century would accept cards.

Yvonne and Robert are amazing hosts! Both were very welcoming and friendly, giving us great tips for best roads to take while sightseeing for our first visit to the area. Their accomodation is a good base for visiting Powerscourt, Sugar loaf Mountain, Sally Gap, Glendalough, Bray and surrounding areas. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Robert kindly showed my husband around the interesting Heritage centre and the walk up to the most beautiful viewpoint with 360° views is a must!
