About this property

An unashamedly romantic secluded period farmhouse, “Park” has sea views from every room (from every bed if you want to be exact) and is set in a magical unspoiled coastal vista with an unrepeatable “get away from it all” atmosphere.”
A private holiday home and bolt-hole for the same family for more than fifty years, there is a calmness and a healing property that makes it perfect for honeymooners (not necessarily their first) and also idyllic for young children who might find they can explore the abundant natural beauty of the farmland and coastline with a nowadays unusual freedom.
The informal seaside style gardens feature ancient stone walls and extensive grassed areas and suggest the urgent need for a little more relaxation before indulging in anything as vigorous as a walk on the beach let alone a swim. There is a sheltered cove on the property and also rock pools and an amazing rock archway and seating with sea views.

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.

Beautiful cottage perfect location

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!!

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.

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.

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!
