Tynte House

This B&B has a number of good things going for it, but at the top of the list is the host himself: John. A very personable and affable guy, he is a wealth of knowledge of local history. In fact the B&B house itself has a great deal of history. The room in which we had breakfast, John told us, was a store and a pub in the mid-1700s. For us as citizens of the United States, we were amazed that we were having breakfast in a room that was active before our country was a nation. This B&B is in a small town but in a good location for driving to nearby areas. We highly recommend the Tynte House.

Breakfasts were very nice. John was always willing to please and service was great. Good location for doing day trips within Wicklow county as well as to Waterford and Kilkenny. We got the sense that our room was not part of the original design, as bathroom was tiny and squeezed into a corner of the room. I jokingly said to my wife that I could brush my teeth in the sink, sit on the toilet and wash my feet in the shower at the same time. We did get a peek at a couple other rooms during our three night stay and they were much nicer. Everything was clean.

In the center of town, it was a great location for us as we wanted to investigate the Wicklow Mountain area. John was a gracious and friendly host and Rose was delightful and couldn't be more helpful, as if she had nothing else in the world more important to do. Breakfast was delicious and a great way to start our days. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for 1 night in early June. The house is old and shows wear, but the room was clean and comfortable. John is an excellent host - very friendly and willing to spend time talking about the history of the house and area. Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious.
