Situated in the picturesque countryside of County Wicklow, Ireland, the Old White Cottage offers a charming retreat just 2.3 miles from the village of Shillelagh.

Ideal for a family of four, this cottage serves as a perfect base for an action-packed holiday, boasting numerous walking and biking trails that invite exploration of the stunning natural landscape.
The approach to the Old White Cottage is marked by a delightful country track, leading to a well-equipped kitchen that embodies a country-style design, complete with all necessary amenities for preparing home-cooked meals.
