9 out of 10

The Old Coach House is a multi award winning Victorian country home set in the beautiful Vale Of Avoca and just a few minutes walk to the immortalised " Meeting of the Waters", it was built in the the early 1800s as an overnight stop for stagecoaches journeying on the old Dublin to Wexford road.

The house just oozes charm and retains much of that period feel all coupled with a warm welcome and modern comforts. In the evenings we invite you to sit and relax in the lounge with its open fires and perhaps choose something to read from our library of books.

 

The Old Coach House is within walking distance of the famed Meeting of the Waters, made famous by the poet Thomas Moore.   (1779-1852)
"There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet, As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet."   
If heading to the Old Coach House from Dublin, you should take the N11 to Rathnew. From there follow signs for Rathdrum, and from there onto the Meeting of the Waters. The Old Coach House is situated a few hundred metres after that on the right hand side.
Bedroom
As expected the bedrooms in the Old Coach House are all en-suite, all have televisions and hairdryers and include individual tea/coffee facilities and Irish mineral water for your early morning or late night requirements.
 
The majority of the bedrooms overlook the Avoca river and Valley, the furnishings have been carefully selected to be traditional and in keeping with the period of the house but with modern amenities provided.
