Roundwood Self Catering Cottage to Rent

If you want to rent a self catering cottage near Roundwood, the village is 30 minutes scenic drive to this beautiful Wicklow self catering vacation rental. Roundwood lays claim to the title ‘the highest village in Ireland’ lying at 238 metres above sea level and is one of the prettiest villages in County Wicklow. It lies just south of Djouce Mountain and near to the Wicklow Way walking trail. It’s on the road from Dublin to Aughavannagh and many of our guests who rent our Irish cottage speak highly of the pubs in the village, including the Roundwood Inn. Many of Wicklow’s numerous golf clubs are located nearby and the village is a short and pretty drive to Enniskerry and the waterfall at Powerscourt as well as being near to the beautiful mountain road at the Sally Gap – the highest road in Ireland.

The St. Kevin’s Bus Company service from Dublin to Glendalough serves the village, which is about 30 minutes drive to Aughavannagh, making our Wicklow self catering cottage ideal for anyone looking to rent a cottage near Roundwood. The nearby Vartry reservoir supplies a large part of Dublin’s water and the scenic Vartry Reservoir Drive brings you alongside the Upper and Lower Vartry Reservoirs near the village of Roundwood. For those with an interest in Wicklow history - an earthen dam was built over the Vartry River between 1862 and 1868 to construct the Lower Reservoir and the smaller Upper Reservoir was built later in 1923.
