庫拉凱之家(Coolakay House)

Excellent service, Yvonne was such a lovely host and getting to feed the horses was a highlight of my stay.

Ende 2017 habe ich geschrieben: Ich werde noch oft wiederkommen. Habe ich gemacht. Auch Ende November/Anfang Dezember 2023 für ein paar Tage. Es war wiederum ein wunderbarer Abschluss des Jahres im Coolakay House bei Yvonne und Robert. Die Gastfreundschaft der beiden ist nicht zu überbieten. Der Spätherbst ist eine schöne Zeit, um sich in Irland zu erholen und „runter zu kommen“. Auch wenn das Wetter mal etwas rauer ist. Man geht nach dem Full Irish Breakfast gut gerüstet aus dem Haus und kommt ja abends wieder „heim“ ins Coolakay House. Liebe Yvonne, lieber Robert, tausend Dank!!! PS: Schaut Euch das Coolakay Agricultural Center an, es ist toll!!

Yvonne and Robert are the most pleasant and welcoming hosts. Their property and the overall experience was fantastic! The weather was absolutely perfect and I highly recommend that you walk up the hill to the peak of their property where you can see the Powerscourt Waterfall to the left, and the Irish Sea (Bray Beach) to the right. The room and attached bathroom was super clean & fresh, and the bed was very comfortable. We also enjoyed feeding their 3 Shetland ponies and visiting their Heritage Center. Also, although you are in the Irish country, you are able to travel by car about 2.5 miles away to Enniskerry, where there are a few pubs, local restaurants and shops. Over all experience 10!

Accueil très sympathique par Yonne et Maria avec thé, café ou autre boissons à notre arrivée ainsi que des gâteaux. Petite chambre très confortable et au calme. A 10mns en voiture de la ville de Bray où se trouve toutes les commodités Bon petit déjeuner.

Yvonne and Robert are amazing hosts! Both were very welcoming and friendly, giving us great tips for best roads to take while sightseeing for our first visit to the area. Their accomodation is a good base for visiting Powerscourt, Sugar loaf Mountain, Sally Gap, Glendalough, Bray and surrounding areas. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Robert kindly showed my husband around the interesting Heritage centre and the walk up to the most beautiful viewpoint with 360° views is a must!

Our stay here was far too short: Yvonne has a heart of gold and the whole house radiates this warmth. You immediately felt welcome, cosy and comfortable! The rooms were lovingly furnished, the food was wonderful and the view and location eere fantastic. You go on holiday here and have a great time! Thank you, dear hostess, and best wishes from Germany from Bernd, Ben und Sabine!

We loved, loved our stay at Coolakay House! Yvonne and Robert were exceptional hosts and could not have been more wonderful and accommodating. The Coolakay House is situated on a working sheep farm with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. You can walk up the steep hill through the sheep pasture to a bench at the top with a panoramic view of Sugarloaf Mountain and Powerscourt and the Wicklow Mountains. My husband and I were fortunate to get a tour of the Heritage Center with Robert where we learned about the history of the farming in the area and got to see many old farm tools from the 1700s and 1800s as well as many beautiful restored tractors. We had wonderful lively funny conversations with both Robert and Yvonne! Our room was beautiful, pristine and had very comfortable beds and a great shower. Yvonne prepared a wonderful breakfast and gave us tips on what to visit. We saw the Powerscourt waterfall, Bray Beach and the Wicklow Mountains, and these were all highlights of our trip. Thank you Yvonne and Robert for a wonderful stay at your exceptional home and B&B and allowing us to experience the wonder of the Coolakay Heritage Center. If we are fortunate to travel to Ireland again, we will definitely look forward to seeing you again!

For: Excellent host, very helpful and friendly. Ideal location to tour Wicklow. Comfy rooms. Tea coffee etc accessible in breakfast room 24/7. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast. Against: Rushed to choose breakfast, Do no like sharing a table at breakfast.

They have 13 rooms. Located ~5km from town, where there are a couple pubs and restaurants. Walk is on a busy street, sometimes with no sidewalk. Friendly hosts. Highlight might be that this is a working farm and the owner has an amazing collection of historic farm implements. This alone is reason to stay here. Be sure to plan an hour for the host to walk you thru a show-and-tell of his collection.
