Something tells me that Wordsworth would have loved it... The restaurant also offers an excellent buffet from starters to tea and it's only 35 per person. Decorated in old world style, the country house ambiance is rich yet relaxing. Gorgeous convenient destination for a weekend getaway for all you Dubliners. Makes you feel like you're far away from the City when it's only about an hour or so away from all the hustle and bustle.

Rathsallagh is an unbelievable venue. Very special and unique, the grounds are absolutely gorgeous…read more- it really is a hidden gem. From the run up to the day until we left the wedding coordinators & staff couldn't have done enough for us. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating and made our lives extremely easy. We really didn't have to ask for much as they are ultimate professionals at what they do and had everything in hand unless we needed something personal. The food and service was absolutely amazing, you will not find nicer food than this venue and the amount of food and wine provided was incredible. Every single guest at our wedding could only say the most wonderful things about the staff, the food, the wine and how absolutely stunning the venue is. The only downside to Rathsallagh is you don't want to leave! We will be forever grateful to everyone at Rathsallagh for making our day as magical as possible. I only wish we could do it all again. We literally cannot thank you enough.

This place is a beautiful little lodge set in a rural setting. It is located outside of Laragh but…read moretoo far away to walk to town. You need to drive there on the narrow Irish road. The lodge itself is set up on a hill overlooking the lush green Irish countryside and surrounded by naturalized gardens. The outside of the lodge blends traditional with modern as does the inside. There are cats and dogs that belong to the innkeepers roaming the grounds. Our room was "rustic modern" with a vaulted ceiling and beams. Everything was new and modern inside. We had a walk-in shower that worked very well. The Irish innkeepers were very nice and friendly and they had some help from two non-Irish young ladies. We have not yet had breakfast but I am looking forward to "The Full Irish Breakfast." Overall we are quite satisfied with our lodging selection and would definitely return here.

You can also do B&B , if you have a motor home there are places to stay and a leisure center with pool and gym . So the the coffee shop /restaurant. It opens form 9am to 4pm lunch staring at 12.30. I believe breakfast is good with a lot of options but have never been . Seating is indoors ands out . If it's warm enough eat outside as the view is good . The lunch menu is short and good choices . Open sandwiches. The have an offer of soup and a toasted sandwich for €8 considering their all soups are homemade and it looks like the breads also this is a good deal . Today's soup was carrot and broccoli, delicious, the balance between the 2 was very good with no one flavour dominating with a very moist slice of homemade brown bread. I had an open mixed crab sandwich on homemade sourdough , salad leaves and sweet chili sauce , balsamic vinegar and pesto. A great combination of flavours . The crab was so fresh and light . My wife had an warm open pear and Brie sandwich on a brioche bun . The bun was defo home made , more like a puff pastry in appearance. The Brie was from Wicklow . There was a prawn and salmon sandwich among others . 6 open ones on the menu . The specials board had a Thai green curry , a flat bread , potato sound with a chicken and mushroom filling and an charcuterie platter. We had arrived early and had a tea and peppermint tea until lunch was ready we got hot water refills and were not charged . They serve a carafe of flavored water with mint or grapefruit and other flavors. Service is really good and friendly . There are some delicious cakes on the menu with really good coffee . If your around the Arklow stop by , google for directions as it's off the beaten track Nd sit back and enjoy
