Askanagap Country Cottage

Four Star

Askanagap, Aughrim, County Wicklow Show on a map

Nestled in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains, this recently refurbished 3-bedroom cottage is just a few miles from the picturesque villages of Aughrim and Tinahely.
The cottage is wheelchair accessible, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped. There are lovely seating areas outdoors, and a real turf fire makes for a cosy night in. This quiet and peaceful location is the ideal base for touring Wicklow and the east coast, and all the amenities required are available within easy reach in the local towns and villages.
The property now offers four new ELECTRIC BICYCLES exclusively for guests to hire. These battery-assisted bicycles offer an exciting and eco-friendly way to enjoy the beautiful Wicklow countryside. Enjoy the freedom of a bicycle trip without the pain of climbing hills, even if you haven't cycled for a while. Maps of recommended routes are provided. A new outdoor children's activity centre (with swings, a slide etc.) has just been added, allowing the whole family to enjoy the open spaces.
