Ballyteige Lodge

The location was amazing with beautiful scenery. Right on the Wicklow way, it was ideal place for hiking and to explore the grounds. The room was lovely and the food great. Sean was a fantastic host.

Beautiful atmospheric property, extremely friendly host, wonderful setting, great breakfast.

Hadn’t appreciated when booking no en-suite facilities but not really an issue for us

Unique family managed property, beautifully appointed house set in large gardens

Sharing bathrooms was a little inconvenient

Beautiful house in a beautiful location; the food was amazing

The lodge is set in beautiful gardens. Very peaceful and relaxing. Inside is full of books and curiosities. The bed was very comfortable and meals were delightful. There is a small outdoor freshwater swimming pool, great for a quick dip. Beautiful stay.

Special location. Stayed here for a wedding in Brooklodge and location was perfect. The lodge has serious character and the gardens are spectacular. The host Sean is very accommodating and even gave us a lift to the wedding venue.

Superb location, lovely food, genial host

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 .

Could not have asked for a better suited few days away .
