We're just home from a three night stay in one of the ash down houses on the Kippure Estate. The house was very nice with all you need, the estate is a bit remote and you should make sure you have all your food etc with you. The house was lovely and warm and we got the tv working by... More

This was my first time to Kippure, was a bit of a nightmare to find but I got there in the end. It's quite remote, yet the quietness and peacefulness there is wonderful. Really loved the views. The room was ok (not very warm) and the kitchen had some appliances. The TV didn't work (wasn't tuned in). The bathroom was... More

We stayed here in Sept 2012 for a friends hen party. It was a slightly alternative type hen party and it was fab! We had a day of out door activities, sky trek, leap of faith, archery, zip line etc. there was something for everyone. The rooms and the houses were very comfortable and relaxing. The food was good and... More

Amazing venue for a wedding. Spectacular scenery, food, craic and staff. Kippure really made a great day special for us!!! 10/10 all round. Who needs beef or salmon when you can have a pig slow cooked for 5 hours on an open fire.

Arrived here in July 2012 as part of a wedding party and stayed for 2 nights. We stayed in the main lodge house in a room above the bar, it was a bit noisy but only due to the staff clearing up and moving stuff about late after we had all partied but this was fine - rather they did... More

We are very sorry this happened. This guest was, by mistake, given an unprepared house. As soon as the client brought this to our attention we took all steps necessary to rectify the situation. Sadly, this guest did not want to continue her stay with us and as a result a full refund was given immediately. We also apologised profoundly.... More

I was very disappointed with Kippure. We stayed in the athdown house. It was reasonably clean but had a bad smell in the downstairs bedroom. It is definitely not the standard of the photos on the website. There was only a 14" tv (not the flat screen in the photo) and only 4 stations. As for the landscaped gardens we... More

My sister who lives in Dublin booked a 3-nights weekend break at Kippure Estate for a family reunion. She sent me the link to Kippure’s website and the pictures were lovely, so I had an idea what to expect, but in reality the place was actually much better. The setting is just a dream! I flew into Dublin airport and... More

Viewing the pictures we were delighted to go on the perfect family holiday. To escape the city. On arrival we were shown to apartments which were different from the beautiful pictures we had seen. The hallway was tiny, greeting us with a strong smell of must. The 1 st bedroom , I slipped on vomit as I turned back the... More

We had some nice days in Wicklow. The spacious Seefin house we had was comfortable and just right for a family. As suggested by the friendly and very helpful gentlemen at reception we went to Glendalough and also did the cliff walk from Bray to Greystones. We even climbed ‘Great Sugar Loaf’, thanks to the free walking guide booklet we... More
