Wicklow B&Bs
B&Bs in Wicklow, close to Dublin, worlds apart
Known as the Garden of Ireland, Wicklow gives you mountains, monastic ruins and coastline within an hour of Dublin, close enough for a weekend without a long drive, remote enough that Glendalough and the mountain passes feel like a proper escape.
Glendalough and the mountains
Glendalough's monastic settlement and two lakes are Wicklow's best-known draw, and a B&B in nearby Laragh or Roundwood puts you inside the National Park rather than driving in from further afield, useful for an early start on the Spinc walk before the crowds arrive.
Bray and the coast
Bray, with its seafront promenade and the cliff walk to Greystones, is the more accessible coastal base, well connected to Dublin by rail if you want the mountains and the coast on the same trip.
B&Bs in Wicklow Town and further south
Wicklow Town and Arklow, further down the coast, suit visitors touring south toward Wexford or wanting a quieter harbour base than Bray offers, still within easy reach of the mountains inland.

Not sure where to base yourself?Wicklow B&Bs for the Wicklow Way, Blessington and Powerscourt
Inland Wicklow rewards walkers and anyone happy to trade the coast for lake shores and forest tracks, with the Wicklow Way threading the whole county together from north to south.
Walking the Wicklow Way
The Wicklow Way runs from the edge of Dublin down through Glendalough and on toward Carlow, and villages like Roundwood, Laragh, Glenealy and Rathdrum space out neatly for overnight stages, so walkers can carry a daypack and sleep in a real bed each night.
Blessington, Dunlavin and the west
West Wicklow around the Blessington lakes and Dunlavin sits closer to the N81 and Kildare border, quieter again than the Glendalough corridor, with Russborough House nearby and the lakes themselves good for a slow morning before the mountains.

Frequently asked
B&Bs in Wicklow, common questions
How far is Glendalough from Dublin?
Glendalough is roughly an hour's drive from Dublin, making it a popular day trip, though staying overnight nearby means you can start the main walks before the day-tour buses arrive.
Should I base myself in Bray or up in the mountains?
Bray suits a coastal base with train access to Dublin, while Laragh or Roundwood suit anyone prioritising Glendalough and the mountain walks over seafront amenities.
Can I walk the Wicklow Way staying in B&Bs the whole way?
Yes, the route passes close to villages with B&B accommodation at practical daily intervals, and many owners are used to walkers, early breakfasts and drying rooms for wet gear.
Is Powerscourt close to the Wicklow B&Bs listed here?
Powerscourt House and its waterfall sit near Enniskerry in north Wicklow, an easy drive from Bray and the Glendalough corridor, so most Wicklow bases put it within a short spin.
