Special Place
We as a large family had a brilliant stay at The Lodge,this is our 2nd time to stay. There is plenty of space for us all to relax and enjoy and be together.We were celebrating my Husband's 70th Birthday . We brought board games to play and also made smores on the fire pit in the garden which we was so much fun,we danced and laughed and made great memories.The beds are so comfortable,great kitchen with all the utilities you need .we made a Sunday roast dinner and sat around the large table plenty of room for us all . Garden space so good and the grandchildren enjoyed it. Our host's Una & Pete are so friendly and helpful ,thank you both so much for looking after us all,it is a real pleasure to stay at your beautiful lodge and look forward to staying there again

Just great!
A pleasure! We stayed for a week, a handful of adults and some of our young (almost adults, mainly). The house is great, just look at the pictures. Great kitchen/living room, with a nice wood stove for the joy of it. Ashford is a great starting place for tours to the coast, e.g. to Wicklow, as well as into the mountains. Don't miss Glendalough, btw. So we just had lots of fun, and enjoyed it. Highly suggested.

We met here with family. We live in USA. Family lives in England and Scotland. House was great. Had everything you need. Great location. Every couple loved having their own room/bathroom. Plus there was plenty of room for our 3 year old grandson to play. Cute town. Una and Pete were great to deal with and attentive to needs.

Ireland Family Trip
Took our adult children and their spouses on a beautiful trip to Ireland! This house was absolutely beautiful, well maintained and we appreciated the craftsmanship to building this! The house design and decor definitely contributed to us have an enjoyable experience, providing separate bedrooms/bathrooms for all, and very relaxing space to spread out! Kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, and quick walk into town. Short/quick drive to a Lidl or Aldi for more in-depth grocery needs. Location is perfect for exploring this region of Ireland: which is a real gem!! We took a couple trips into Dublin, and visited little towns in Wicklow Co. I highly recommend this house, and the owners were perfect hosts, all along the booking process!!

Impressive house and wonderful hosts
Six friends from three different countries met here to continue a decades-long tradition of visiting new places and sharing each other's company. The house is quite a showpiece, built largely of repurposed materials, a thoughtful combination of comfort and style. As right-side drivers, we didn't want to risk renting a car, but the house was situated well for walking into the village and to bus stops, one kilometer down the hill.

Fantastic space for a girls 30th weekend!
Una and Pete were wonderful hosts - So kind and understanding! The house was gorgeous and had everything we could have needed for a fantastic 30th birthday weekend! It didn't even feel like we were in Ireland (I live in Wicklow so was nice for the holiday vibe!). We had dinner nearby at Mortimers and it was so special. The outdoor area was a favourite of everyone and the bedroom layouts worked very well for 12 ladies. The space was very clean and comfortable - Especially the beds. Outdoor shower was a fun addition! Thank you both for the wonderful experience! I would recommend this listing to anyone!

Pete is an absolute marvelous host. Was very accommodating and considerate. Helped us find places and things to do. Assisted in shipping items back to the states, even dropping by at a moments notice to lend a hand. Everything was as stated in the listing, even better than we thought.

Incredibly beautiful Lodge!
We LOVED our week stay at Pete and Una’s home in Ashford. The home is situated up on a hill surrounded by lush green and chirping birds. It was magical. So close to town for food and our favorite - Irish breakfast & coffee! The lodge is very unique, artsy, and equipped with everything needed. We felt right at home. Cozy, warm, extremely spacious for our family of five. It was such a comfortable haven for us to return to every day. My kids loved lighting the fireplace, showering in the outdoor shower, exploring the area, and especially having their own large bedroom and bathroom. It was the best! We hope to return to Pete and Una’s home. It made our trip so special and memorable. We appreciate how welcoming, helpful, and kind they were during our stay. Thank you! ❤️

Perfect stay in the Wicklow area
Great location for accessing the Wicklow area. The property was a perfect getaway - clean, great showers and really comfy beds. Gorgeous outdoor area too with fire pit and egg swing chair and fairy lights. Pete and Una were very welcoming and helped out with things to do in the area. Pub and nice restaurant (N11) all a short walk down the hill . 15 mins to the beach and 20 to glendalough. We stayed with young kids 0, 3 and 7 and there was plenty to do. Would like to come back again.

We had a wonderful stay in Ashford. Pete and Una were wonderful hosts. We felt very much at home. We did, however, have to do a shop for basics cooking products like tea, coffee, salt & pepper, sugar as these were not supplied. But everything else is. Bed linens & towels were of excellent quality and the beds very comfortable. We hope to return in the future.

Simply Amazing
Una and Pete are spectacular hosts!! The home is fully appointed, furnished beautifully, there is absolutely nothing you need to worry about, it’s all there for you! Bring your family, extended family, enjoy the lovely town, surrounding areas, and the gorgeous scenery! Everything is within a quick walk for a staycation-or if you are the wandering sort, buses can be caught right in the lovely little town (which has fabulous grocery-take away-lively pubs). If you need anything-Una and Pete are a quick chat or call and they will respond immediately (even for silly questions such as how do we operate this or that). We’ve stayed in many places around the globe and by far this was a favorite or every single family member in our group! Energy efficient, plenty of space to spread out, a private garden for outdoor gathering-a bathroom for each room-incredibly comfortable beds, if you’ve imagined a place where the comforts of home are what you seek-Birchhill Lodge is it! Many thanks Una and Pete!!

Four couples (average age 60) received brilliant accommodation within a unique setting. The amenities were second to none. Our hosts Pete and Una were to say the least wonderful. This Ashford home was within Dublins reach, close to several Irish ☘️ must visits (Glendalough, Powerscourt, Wicklow mtns) Dublin being accessible by DART. Truly an opportunity that should not be overlooked. Highly recommended!

Plenty of bathrooms including an outside shower. We where all admazed on how nice this place is. We would stay again in a heartbeat 💗 To top it all off it was spotless from the kitchen to the rooms not at a thing out of place.

The most AMAZING accomodation
I booked this accomodation to stay at for when I travelled from UK to Wicklow for our wedding at the end of May. Majority of the time was myself, husband our 2 children plus 4 family members. The night before our wedding I had my bridal party stay with me instead which was up to 10 of us. All of which we had the most comfortable stay, each room with their own en suite/ bathroom which were beautifully decorated, 2 huge rooms upstairs which slept 4 adults in each very comfortably The decor is incredible throughout with every feature well thought out! On the morning of my wedding our suppliers came out which was another 7 people and the lodge was still super spacious. Una and Peter were fantastic hosts, ensuring we had everything we needed! We were a short walk into Ashford which is home to a few lovely pubs, cafes and the gorgeous Mount Usher Gardens which does an incredible breakfast. Wicklow town centre was a short drive or taxi away around 10 minutes, which was a bigger town to Ashford with more shops, places to eat etc. All in all a 11/10 stay and will definitely be returning in the future Sinéad & Alex
