Amazing and relaxing retreat
We chose Fleur’s and Colin’s holiday home earlier this year, as my sister had wished for a visit to ireland as a gift for her 50th birthday. The pictures and reviews made the property our favorite and so we booked our stay in mid September. And what can we say. This place is really amazing and charmed us the moment we arrived, even it wasn’t the best weather on our first day. But soon the rain stopped. And with this our discovery of this amazing property really started. No disturbing noises, it’s like a calm, own world. The historic house with its modern equipment, beautiful garden, the amazing view over the sea, the trees around the house and property just help to relax and make it a perfect holiday retreat. I can only advise any visitor to take a walk on the premise at sunset or sundown time. Also great is the beach below the property. A special Thank You to Fleur: Your mail with the perfect instructions on how to get to the place, your welcome call on the first day and the call the day before we left again were great and show that you care for your guests. I hope to get a chance to visit this place again.

Traumhaftes Wohnen wie im Museum
Die Lage ist traumhaft! Einen Strandabschnitt hat man quasi im Garten für sich alleine. Das Haus hat einen ganz besonderen Charme. Man wohnt wie im Freilichtmuseum mit den wichtigen Annehmlichkeiten wie Heizung, modernen Küchengeräten und fließend warmem Wasser. Colin und Fleur vielen Dank, dass sie dieses Haus vermieten und so eine Erfahrung möglich machen. Wer Erholung und Natur sucht, der sollte sich einen Aufenthalt hier gönnen. Wir haben es sehr genossen.

Paradise
Ein wunderschönes, zauberhaftes Grundstück, mit allem Komfort wo man sich in einem orginal Wiklow - Bauerhaus wohlfühlen kann. Spaziergänge am Strand mit vielen Schätzen aus dem Meer. Ab und zu ein aufmerksamer Seehund, Möven im Sturzflug nach Fischen Muscheln so weit das Auge reicht. Im Garten hat es Palmen, Sträucher, Kräuter und manchmal hoppeln Hasen vorbei, einen märchenhaftes Bild. Wo immer man sich aufhält, man ist im Paradise! An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich nochmals herzlichst bei Donald und Fleur bedanken, für die gute, hilfsbereite Kommunikation!! Danke an Donald dem Gärtner und Monika, die Haushalts-Fee. Es wahr wieder wunderschön. Wir kommen wieder!!! Isabella & André

Paradise A beautiful, enchanting property, with all the comforts where you can feel at home in an original Wiklow farmhouse. Walks on the beach with many treasures from the sea. From time to time an attentive seal, gulls in the dive for fishing shells as far as the eye can see. In the garden, it has palm trees, shrubs, herbs and sometimes hoppers, a fairytale. Wherever you are, you are in paradise! At this point, I would like to thank Donald and Fleur again, for the good, helpful communication! Thanks to Donald the gardener and Monika, the household fairy. It is beautiful again. We will be back!!! Isabella & André

Going back in time
If you want to experience the spirit of ancient Ireland, and really touch the rich history of the Irish, there is no better place to stay than at this 400 year old, rustic, homey, and completely secluded cottage on the Irish sea. We have stayed several times and we loved it just as much this time as we did the first time. Colin and Fleur are the perfect property managers, just a phone call away if you need anything. If you want to stay in the Hilton and kiss the Blarney stone, that's great. But if you want a real, authentic taste of old Ireland, the people and the emerald sod, then this cottage is the place for you!

Stunning Private Getaway
History and charm abound in this farmhouse from the early 1600s. While containing the necessities of modern living, the joys of the property are the historic details. The house contained a library of Irish authors and travels which were handy to have. Our nephew really appreciated the available toys and kids books. The grounds were spectacular! Beautiful gardens were all around the house. The barn ruins were a delightful historic element. However, it was the view of the Irish Sea and beach access that really solidified this as an exciting location. The walk down to the beach was a little difficult for the older family members but well worth it. Be sure to follow the suggested landmarks to get to the property. The last left turn (unfinished gate) might be better described as a sharp left before the concrete block posts. Our seven-person extended family had a wonderful time at this property as a home base for our Ireland adventure.

Idyllic Old World Romance with Modern Comforts
From the moment you arrive, you feel a sense of calm and yet enthusiasm for all Park has to offer. The cottage was all we had hoped it would be, and more! The beach is spectacular and private. We were surprised with how often we could enjoy the water. The nature and wildlife did disappoint. Exploring the surrounding area was a joy. The very thoughtful garden design did not feature in the description and was a pleasant surprise. Our 2 weeks at Park will go down as a travel highlight.

On approaching the property, we were hugely impressed by the spectacular views from the hilltop – remarkable! This house sits on a lovely, very well-maintained large garden full of its own personality. Access to the private beach at the end of the garden is a path which is also well looked after and easy to descend and climb. Incredible view again of the Irish Sea from the house and garden. The house itself is Infused with all the charm and character of a delightful 17th Century farmhouse. The kitchen itself is fully equipped and has all the modern appliances required. All the bedrooms are charming spacious, comfortable and inviting. We had a lovely week in this house. Colin and Fleur made sure we had everything for a most enjoyable holiday.

A hidden gem so good I hate to share it.
We stayed at this property in July for a week. Probably one of the best weeks I’ve ever had in Ireland although the weather helped greatly. The location is great. Only an hour or so from Dublin but it feels like you are far away. The house and gardens are as described. The gardens are really beautiful and very well manicured. The farmhouse is everything you would expect from a 17th century building. The decor is very much in keeping with the style. That said it makes it all the better. Don’t be worried however there are all mod cons available. My two girls 7 & 10 were very comfortable, able to watch TV when tired from the sun/ beaches or garden playing on the swings. Saving the best for last is the views. Phenomenal. The house and gardens are situated on a hill/cliff surrounded by farmland and over looking the sea and a beautiful large private beach/cove. We sat out every evening looking out at the sea. No tv needed! My kids had a ball. The private beach with the walkway down was great and there is also a fantastic beach 2 mins away ( Clogga beach). The kids loved it. For dinner or shopping there are loads of option in Arklow and Gorey which is just down the road. Finally the hosts were excellent. Friendly, fast and clear communication and were able to help us with anything we needed.

This is a stunning old cottage with beautiful gardens. The location is remote but close to arklow and the busy town of Gorey We spent three weeks here and all the grand children loved it with private access to a stunning beach and we rarely saw anyone else on it and we spotted the sea lion most days The house is very well equipped with everything you would need without having to leave for anything except provisions It is spacious and comfortable in fact the pictures don’t do it justice. The owners were prompt and helpful in responding to our queries We all loved it and hope to return in the future Happy memories!!

Irish interlude
Our family, four adults and three children under ten, stayed here for one week this past September. Everything was as described in the VRBO site. The location was about an hour south of Dublin by car as well as by train. Locally the house is comfortably removed but not remote. It sits on a gentle cliff overlooking the Irish Sea. The property is extensive including the groomed lawn area. The beach, if not formally private, may as well be so. It spans a quarter mile with near one hundred feet depth. We utilized it way more than we expected. The house was very comfortable living/cooking/eating-wise and quiet as could be, other than soft wave sounds, at all times. Three bedrooms on the second floor one on the main. Both baths are across the hall from each other on the main adjacent to the bedroom. We seven shared easily. The kitchen accommodated three cooks and the dining room table expands to seat seven. Privacy and safety was never an issue. We were comfortable on and off the property including the beach. Arklow is nearby for groceries, fuel, train station and whatever. Gorey to the south is the more picturesque with shops, pubs and a great fruit seller as you approach Gorey from the north. We visited Trim Castle directly from the airport then focused on locations in the southeast. Everywhere we visited, including daily pub lunches, we were received with pleasantries and conversation. Not a bad word a say about any encounters in Ireland. However Aer Lingus needs a lot more legroom! Colin, our host, stayed in touch while we were there and was eager to insure our comfort and satisfaction. Enjoy.

A lovely home in a lovely place
We spent a really lovely week at the beginning of July in this lovely home. We had lovely weather and the many different areas of the garden allowed teenagers, parents and youngsters to enjoy themselves together or apart. The house is comfortable and the proximity -by a winding grassy path - to a stony beach is magic. Morning swims and evening dips..... We saw one family and two foxes on the beach in the space of a week. And then star gazing and picnics.. all without leaving the house.

A magical two weeks!
Very few places live up the the word “idyllic” but the Park farmhouse did and then some. It was like stepping back in time — with all of the gardens, views from the old farmhouse ruins to the ocean, and the charm of the current house with it’s four bedrooms and parlors. But it also had all the amenities you would want in modern day conveniences such as dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. The private beach was stunning and our neighbors were cows and horses grazing in verdant fields as far as the eye can see. It was a quick 10 minute ride to the town center of Arklow, the charming fishing port, with shops, pubs and local grocery stores. Gorey and Avoca (home to the weavers of Irish linens and wools you can tour) are a quick drive as well. We all took the 1 hour bus ride into Dublin a few times to go see the sights and hit the Temple Bar pubs. For day trips, the Wicklow Mountains and Waterford were fun and easy. We also visited the nearby Glendalough ancient monastery with beautiful walking trails to two lakes. Colin, the owner, provided A+++++ service in booking and throughout our 2-week stay. There were fresh linens and towels brought in along with a cleaning lady once a week to keep the home spotless. This is a special place that you can see a lot of care and love has been given. Beds and pillows were comfy too! If you do spend a holiday here, we also highly recommend having dinner at D’arcy McGees overlooking the Avoca river on the balcony and enjoying the tastiest fish and chips around (don’t forget to ask for their curry sauce to dip the chips - delicious!)

Incredibly unique home with a garden and sea views like no other
This is an extremely unique and quirky house. It’s a bit like being in a museum, except that you are allowed to touch and examine things. I was delighted by the rustic details in the house like the handmade doors that aren’t square like our modern-day constructions. We adults had to duck to get through some doorways, but it was something we found to be quite charming in this historic home. Colin was quite attentive and checked in on us during our stay via telephone to make sure we had no troubles. He provided lovely linens on the beds and fresh white towels for our stay. There was a basket of beach towels available for our use on the beach, which was nice. We had good hot baths and showers and there is even a heated towel rack. The kitchen has a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a coffee maker, and a tea kettle. There is a washer and dryer available, as well, but you can also hang your laundry out on a large clothes line in the garden. WiFi was available which is a must-have for those of us who like to get away from it all but still be connected to the outside world. The landscaping and gardens of this property are spectacular and it is clear that a lot of love and careful planning has gone into them. We walked the nicely mown path behind the house and discovered a tree house, which delighted my children. There is outdoor furniture available to sit on, a rock bench under some trees, and picnic tables in the old barn ruin overlooking the sea. We really enjoyed our time here spent outside soaking up the sun in the gardens and taking in the sea views. The beach is easily accessed from the house through a lovely set of steps notched out of the hill side. It felt very special to be able to walk down to our own private beach from our own beautiful gardens. The beach itself is primarily made of interesting stones and pebbles, but there is a sandy portion that our children enjoyed building sand castles in. The beach cave was not accessible because of the tides, but it still was a marvel to behold. Overall, this is a very special place.

Great time in Park
We had a great time in Park. The historical home was just what we needed for our stay in Ireland. The house was wonderful and peat fires perfect. We enjoyed the access to the secluded beach and spent hours walking the shoreline and fishing. The property has great access to Glendolough, Arklow, Wicklow and Wexford. Thanks for a great week.

This is a wonderful 400year old house in a spectacular location
My family and I will never forget the wonderful time we had at “Park”. The walks on the beach and down the lane. The peat fires and Irish Tea at night. The moon’s reflection on the sea in the evening as we stood outside and watched the stars. Morning breakfast outside overlooking the ocean.The short drives to Arklow, Redcross, Gorey. The day trips to Glendalough,Powerscourt,Dublin, New Ross, and Hook lighthouse The location allows you to explore the whole Wicklow area and beyond. Colin was very helpful and called at the start of our visit to make sure all was well and answer questions. He also called at the end of our visit and asked for any suggestion we might have. He was great!! We were at Park from June 23-June 30, 2018. The weather was clear and warm We will always look back at the time we spent at “Park” and appreciate the memories and how lucky we were to find this “Little bit of Heaven” Bob B from Northridge California

Totally unique
This place is awesomely beautiful. It's like being in an Enid Blyton novel, you feel like you should be eating bread and jam sandwiches before heading off to the beach for an adventure. The house is like a museum property with twisty creaking stairs and very old wooden doors everywhere. Everything you need for a comfortable holiday is there - good quality kitchen paraphernalia, extra rugs, beach towels, plenty of books etc. We had beautiful weather so mostly ate outside listening to the birdsong and being surprised by a fox one morning who nonchalantly padded past. There is a long drive down into the property winding through farmland, past a copse and then down a flower-filled lane which we walked up every morning. The view over the beach is stunning. It is accessed via steps cut out of the hill and we had it to ourselves the whole week. If you want to get away from it all but still be within driving distance of all Wicklow has to offer then this is the place for you.

Perfect for a Family
Park is stunning! My husband, parents and my two young boys stayed here and it was the perfect place for our first trip to Ireland. The property is gorgeous and is fun to explore, even for adults. There is a path that walks down to a beautiful, long stretch of beach. My boys and I had a great time running in and out of the waves and looking for rocks. One of the highlights of the stay was that we saw two seals! Park is a great central location for amazing day trips if you choose to leave the property. We really enjoyed places such as Kilkenny, Glendalough, Wicklow, and a 5 mile cliff walk from Bray to Greystones. We also had some great meals in Gorey at Katie Daly’s and The Kitchen. The property is remote, but not so far from town that you can’t get anything you need fairly quickly. The house itself is very well stocked. There was nothing we needed that we could not find. We enjoyed cozy fires in the evening, although the locals teased us in a friendly way about asking for firewood in Ireland’s “summer.” We also had a great time in the evening after our day excursions playing hide and seek on the property with my 5 and 8 year old. There were a couple evenings when the skies were pretty clear and we saw some great stars and even saw a shooting star! Colin was amazing and very responsive. We feel so lucky to have experienced this part of the world in his cozy home. My boys even say they would give up their X-box to be back at Park!

Beautiful cottage in stunning location with direct access to secluded beach.
We had a most enjoyable week in this beautiful cottage. Everything was lovely and clean and the cottage is very well equipped. It has lovely gardens with stunning views out to sea. We spotted the seal one morning and often saw hares running along the beach or even visiting in the garden. The children had a great time playing on the deserted beach, in the sea, on the bodyboards and fishing. We absolutely loved the quiet, private and peaceful location and would love to visit again one day. Highly recommended!

An amazing property. An amazing escape.
Heavenly isolation. Unbelievably stunning views. 17th century abode with modern touches and nothing but the sound of the surf filling the house/grounds. Exactly as described and more - the epitome of what Ireland and its natural beauty has always represented to us. If that's what you're looking for, you've found it. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. This is one of those rare places in the world that your soul will revisit over and over again, long after the vacation has ended. Colin (phone/email) and Donal (phone/in person) were always available and ready to help out if needed. Extremely gracious host/assistant. Tips for the traveler: Food - Eat at The Blue Café in Arklow for breakfast. Eat at The Duck in Gorey for dinner. Eat at The Old Ship Inn in Arklow for any meal (breakfast all day if you wake up late) and/or a pint. House - Stock up the farmhouse at Tesco. They have most anything you need, including charcuterie and a nice wine selection, along with ample parking. Look in the drawer under the kitchen table for all the user manuals for the appliances in case you need them (the oven and washer/dryer operating procedures were unfamiliar to those of us from the States). Remember that you’re staying in an extremely old house. People were smaller in the 17th Century and the doorways do not accommodate anyone near 6ft tall. Quaint and authentic – reminds you that you’re staying in a truly historic building. Things to do - The obvious day trips to Powerscourt and Glendalough did not disappoint. Picnic at the waterfall. Spend time on the grounds enjoying the magnificent views. Try falconry at Woodenbridge Hotel (Arklow) via http://www.falconryofireland.com. Spend time on the grounds listening to nature. Capture a great picture of the resident seal from your private beach (we never saw a single person all week, but saw the seal numerous times). Spend time on the grounds relaxing. Collect driftwood for the evening fire to get the peat going. Spend time on the grounds... Tips for the owner: Get rid of the TV, there’s absolutely, positively no reason for it :) Other than that, don’t change a thing.

Magical Place
I spent a wonderful rejuvenating week at 'Park' at the end of October. The setting is truly magical,a very private retreat to completely unwind and discover beauty ,the beauty of the place and its surroundings. The house is very very special and you feel your going back in time but with all the amenities and comforts you would need. I enjoyed every moment from discovering the beach,gardens, cooking in the well appointed kitchen and quiet evenings by the fire. The sunsets, sunrises and ever-changing clouds over your own private beach kept my eyes and camera wowed! The house is perfectly located to discover the magnificent County Wicklow and all it's surprises. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to stay at 'Park' Cheers.

What a lovely stay we had at Park. The beautiful scenery and warm and welcoming old house helped us to settle down and feel at home at once. We did a walk on the private beach every morning tot enjoy the sunrise! Despite its age, the house is equipped with modern comfort (warm shower, well functioning heating, all thinkable appliances in the kitchen). The place is remote, but many touristic spots can be reached within a one hour drive. A few weeks before arrival, the owner sent us a sightseeing list which was very helpful, we used it every day!

Beautiful seaside retreat
We stayed at Park for a week in September. The grounds are beautiful and the house is well appointed. As the weather improved a few days into our stay, we enjoyed evening wine and reading overlooking the sea. We enjoyed some excursions closer to Park, including a few hours at the Avoca Handweavers location in County Wicklow and the Ireland Falconry demonstration. We drove to Bray to take the train into Dublin one day and enjoyed Glendalough, Kilkenny, and Rock of Cashel, as well. Although it was just two of us, I can see how a larger group would enjoy the property and location, especially during the summer. A memorable vacation!

A lovely homely cottage, where you can truly switch off from everything.
We had a fabulous week here. The gardens were fantastic and our 2 young children loved playing and exploring in them. It is then a short stroll to a lovely beach which we were the only inhabitants of for the whole week. The cottage is cosy with nice old furniture and features which we really loved. On chilly nights we were able to light the fire. Colin the owner has been very helpful with comprehensive information provided before and excellent communication with us throughout the whole experience. We would definitely recommend it as a great family holiday.

Serenity
Park was an undescribable place of refuge for us in our introduction to Ireland. As said by others, the pictures do not do justice to the lushness of the grounds. The beach is wonderfully private and our forays into the Irish Sea, nothing short of replenishing (ok, and 'refreshing'). The house itself is wonderful and allows you to step back in time, without sacrificing modern facilities. Meeting Donal (groundskeeper and all around handyman) and hearing the history of the house (and its famous use in film) was a treat. Colin , the owner, was great to deal with and very helpful (and concerned) when we had an illness arise. While we have other adventures to attend to, we will find ourselves back to this wonderful property.

Exquisite property!
I cannot wait to return to this house so I hesitate to give it a fabulous review for fear it will never be available again! We had a wonderful time in this centuries old home that is located on a very private spot at the end of road, literally. One has to pass through three gates to reach this spot and pay quite precise attention to the written instructions provided by the owner (don't miss the communal water pump on the left...) Do not arrive for the first time in the dark! This home is located on the Irish Sea and the rocky beach is quite private, we never saw another soul. The grounds are beautifully kept and Donal comes and mows the lawns on Tuesday. There are lovely gardens that frame the old stone barn at the edge of the property over looking the sea. The house itself is well preserved given the age and has fully updated bathrooms and a wonderful kitchen that provided every amenity possible. We generally had a full Irish breakfast of rashers and eggs with brown bread and then spent the day touring locally or in Dublin. We usually had dinner on the way home but did cook a few times and appreciated the dishwasher. There is a small dining area in the kitchen but if it is a lovely morning one can also eat outside at the table in front of the house on the "patio." There is one bedroom downstairs and three upstairs and can sleep 8 altogether so it is ideal for a family. Our favorite part of the day was sitting in the living room with a glass of wine and a book enjoying a peat fire in the fireplace, super relaxing. The owner, Colin, is quite solicitous and helpful and this home has everything one might need for a peaceful vacation. If you prefer wild nightlife this is not the place for you...I have never slept better!
