4 star Bed & Breakfast Award Winning B&B Wicklow

Nestled in the Wicklow Mountains, the Lough Dan House is the perfect home base for hiking, relaxing or exploring the historical treasures of this area. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly greeted by Sean and Teresa. We found the surroundings to be peaceful and beautiful, complete with a double rainbow complements of Mother Nature. The interior of the entire home (from top to bottom) was just lovely: neat, clean and very comfortable. Our bedroom was spacious complete with a tea set for complimentary tea. In the room that she shared with our children, my mother fell in love with the bay window that looked over the farm fields and mountains. Every morning we were served a most delicious breakfast in their lovely dining room. Our daughter fell in love with Teresa’s porridge. Owners Sean and Teresa were so helpful and accommodating that they made us feel like family. For fantastic accommodations, hospitality, meals and scenery, you just can’t beat the Lough Dan House. This family of 4 (5 with grandmom in tow) would love to return to Ireland again one day and would definitely stay there again. It is truly the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
