BrookLodge & Macreddin Village is the kind of place you go when you want to truly switch off. Tucked away in the Wicklow countryside, surrounded by glens and forested hills, it feels like you’ve stepped into a different pace of life—one that’s slower, quieter, and refreshingly peaceful.||Check-in was quick and friendly, and the gentleman at reception kindly arranged a dinner reservation for me at the on-site Italian restaurant. The food was excellent—I had a great dinner and the setting was warm and welcoming.||The location is absolutely beautiful, but it’s worth noting that it’s quite remote, and a bit tricky to find. I actually drove past it the first time, thinking Macreddin Village referred to the actual village ahead rather than the hotel entrance. Once you arrive, a tip: don’t unload your luggage straight away. In my case, my room was on the far side of the resort, and it would have meant hauling bags unnecessarily.||My room was spacious and peaceful, with a four-poster bed and a river running past my balcony. Waking up to the sound of water and birdsong was a real highlight—it really captures the spirit of Wicklow’s natural charm.||Breakfast was excellent. I’m vegetarian and didn’t see an option on the menu, but when I asked, the kitchen prepared a fresh, full Irish vegetarian breakfast without any hesitation. Everything was made to order, and the staff were incredibly attentive. I had breakfast early while it was still quiet, and the whole experience was smooth, calm, and really enjoyable.||Check-out took just a few seconds, which rounded off the stay on a relaxed note.||If you’re looking for a break from city life, this place is a gem. BrookLodge isn’t just a hotel—it’s a peaceful escape into Ireland’s natural beauty, with top-notch service and thoughtful touches throughout.
