Our newest 5 star Wicklow Hostel which was previously a converted farmhouse, is set at the bottom of Knockree, overlooking the Glencree Mountains. The hostel reopened in April 2008 after a €4m investment. The Wicklow Way (famous walking route) passes through the Knockree Hostel grounds and so the ideal location for hillwalkers. Our Wicklow Way Hostel boasts all the usual characteristics of a top rated 5 star property including en-suite rooms, family rooms, meeting room, restaurant (catering for groups only), self catering kitchen, and full car & coach parking. All rooms in our Wicklow Hostel have a spectular view of the amazing scenery that surrounds this hostel.

| I had an issue with using the website for booking a room. Upon arrival, there was not a reservation at the hostel. The manager took care of me (with 2 kids) and found another hostel for me to stay in for the rest of my stay in Ireland. Thank you so much for going the extra mile. | ||
