    “The house was clean but some basic amenities were not provided.”

    There was no soap or shower gel in any of the bathrooms There was no dishwashing liquid in the sink We bought those items as well as matches / lighters for the open fire. There were T-shirts hanging on tv room And while a little thing - the coffee and tea were old This meant we had to go shopping after we discovered these items were not there and shops are not close.

    Dear Guest Thank you for your feedback, which we appreciate and are sorry that you felt some amenities were not provided at the time of your visit. However, I'm bound to point out that the accommodation we offer is self-catering. In saying that, we endeavour to make Toberlonagh as comfortable and welcoming as possible, and try to go above and beyond, ensuring tea/coffee/fresh milk and homemade scones are available - should people arrive without having had a chance to purchase any food. This is entirely a good will gesture. And there is always hand sanitiser/dishwasher tablets and plenty of loo rolls on hand. It is the personal choice of our guests whether to use the open fires, providing fuel etc., themselves - as Toberlonagh has full and very efficient central heating. We are also pleased to acknowledge our guests always comment on the very high standard of cleanliness and comfort, which again is something we always try to achieve and take great pride in maintaining. I do hope that despite this you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

About the location

AUGHRIM, COUNTY WICKLOW

Avoca 14 miles; Glendalough 16.4 miles; Dublin 44.5 miles.

Located roughly an hour’s drive south of Dublin city, Aughrim is a beautiful village, recently an all-Ireland tidy towns winner, set where several mountain valleys meet. The valley of the River Ow has fantastic scenery, and spreads north-west of Aughrim for about 10 miles to the base of Lugnaquilla Mountain. It is definitely worth a visit, with a selection of local pubs and restaurants, and landmarks such as the Old Mill and the local Catholic and Church of Ireland churches. As many buildings were constructed from locally-quarried Wicklow granite, Aughrim is locally known as "The Granite City".
