Accommodation & Food
The Roundwood Inn for dinner was excellent both in terms of food and the help of the owners in staying open when we arrived late. The hotel and restaurant at glenmalure were full of character and we loved it there. The Brooklodge & MacreddinVillage was fun, given the pool, spa and unique restaurant (Strawberry Tree). The lodging in Roundwood was OK, nothing more, but the store associated with it had amazing baked goods and breakfast foods. Helen, at the coffee counter outside the lodging, was wonderful and drove us to the trail head when we could not find a taxi. The Powerscourt Hotel was a bit commercial for our tastes, but I understand that people would like it.
Your Guide
Ours was self guided and we have never done anything like this so I can't really compare the notes to anything. We got lost several times, but probably all our fault and not the guide.
