Claim this listingStaying in Aughrim
A granite-built village where two rivers meet in the Wicklow hills, a short drive from the Vale of Avoca and the Wicklow Way.
Aughrim grew up where the Ow and Derry rivers join to form the Aughrim River, which flows on to meet the Avoca River a little further south at Woodenbridge. Known locally as the Granite Village for the stone used in its bridges, walls and buildings, Aughrim won the national Tidy Towns competition in 2007 and keeps a genuinely small, well-kept village feel, with the Wicklow Mountains rising close on every side.
A B&B in Aughrim puts you within a few minutes of Macreddin, a small hamlet with its own organic brewery and restaurants, and within easy reach of the Vale of Avoca, where Avoca Handweavers still runs Ireland’s oldest working weaving mill. Arklow and the coast are a short drive away, so the village works well either as a quiet base on its own or as one stop on a tour of south Wicklow.
Things to do near Macreddin Rock B&B
Macreddin and its brewery
A few kilometres north of Aughrim, the hamlet of Macreddin is home to Actons Country Pub, which brews its own organic lager on site, alongside the Strawberry Tree restaurant, noted as one of Ireland’s few certified organic restaurants.
The Vale of Avoca
The Aughrim River flows south to meet the Avoca River at Woodenbridge, in the scenic Vale of Avoca. Nearby Avoca village is home to Avoca Handweavers, a working mill founded in 1723 and still weaving today, with daily mill tours.
Granite village streetscape
Aughrim’s bridges, walls and buildings are built from local granite, giving the village its nickname and a distinctive, uniform streetscape that helped it win the national Tidy Towns award in 2007.
Getting to Aughrim
Aughrim sits on the R747 between Arklow and Baltinglass, with Arklow itself only about ten minutes away on the coast for the N11 and rail connections south to Wexford or north to Dublin. It is a straightforward stop for anyone touring the Wicklow Mountains or the Vale of Avoca by car.
Booking Macreddin Rock B&B direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Macreddin Rock B&B holds a 3-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
