Fodor's Expert Review Derrymore House

Lake Rd., Co. Wicklow, Ireland

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

On 6 acres above the Lower Lake in Glendalough Valley, Derrymore is one of the most serene B&Bs in Wicklow. Wild goats, foxes, and rabbits inhabit the nearby woods. The Kelleher family are avid traditional musicians, and lovely melodies can be heard regularly in their home. The bedrooms are big and comfortable, with Victorian beds adding a bit of charm. The full Irish breakfast is the perfect way to start the day; walkers can also request a packed lunch.

PROS

  • family-owned and -run
  • music played in the house by family
  • Victorian beds

CONS

  • room decor is basic
  • books up quickly
  • family lives in house
