From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome at Carriglen. It is tastefully decorated, but not ostentatious. Its location is quiet and seemingly tucked away, yet handy for sightseeing in Wicklow Mountains National Park and in surrounding picturesque coastal towns which form part of Ireland’s “ancient east.” Carriglen is small, compared to many commercialised B & B’s, which gives it a cozy feeling. Breakfast was excellent, and Aine is a delightful hostess.
