The Dales is nestled in a green valley close to the Wicklow border. There's beauty all around you. Our house is large and spacious, . Both bedrooms have dressing room, bath & shower and large seated area. The furniture is in keeping with the house and mainly antique. The King room has a four poster bed along with a Juliet balcony.
I love meeting people and have made many friends over the years.
The Dales is situated central to Arklow, Gorey and Tinahely. The area has many attractions, Avoca Handmills, Wells House, Avondale, Kilruddery House to name but a few. We have beautiful beaches nearby and Gorey town is a shoppers paradise, as well as many great eating places. We have a family run local pub nearby.
