Claim this listingStaying in Roundwood
At 238 metres above sea level, Roundwood is the highest village in Ireland, and a natural base for the lakes and hills of Wicklow.
Roundwood sits where the R755 meets the R764 and R765, on the main route from Dublin up into the Wicklow Mountains, about 50km south of the city. Its height gives it a cool, upland feel that is unusual so close to Dublin, and it sits right at the edge of some of the county’s best-known scenery.
The Vartry Reservoir, an embankment lake built in the 1860s to supply Dublin with drinking water, is close by and makes for an easy lakeside walk with good birdwatching. Further into the hills, Lough Dan and Lough Tay, the dark-watered lake known locally as the Guinness Lake, are both reachable from the village, with the looping Sally Gap drive taking in Lough Tay, Glenmacnass Waterfall and the Djouce ridge in one circuit.
The Wicklow Way passes close to Roundwood, and Glendalough, with its early medieval monastic settlement and round tower, is only about 6km south, making the village a workable base for walkers as well as drivers.
The area has its share of history too: Seán T. O’Kelly, later President of Ireland, lived at Roundwood Park, and Erskine Hamilton Childers is buried in the churchyard at Derrylossary, just outside the village.

Lough Dan
A quieter, less-visited lake in the hills above the village, reachable on foot for those who want to get away from the road entirely.
Glendalough

The Wicklow Way
Ireland’s oldest waymarked long-distance trail passes close to the village, linking Roundwood into a walking route that runs the length of the Wicklow Mountains.
Getting to Roundwood
Roundwood is on the R755, about 50km south of Dublin via the N11 corridor through Kilmacanogue, roughly an hour by car. Dublin Airport is about an hour and a half away, and the village sits directly on the main road up to Glendalough, making it a straightforward base without a car being essential for the immediate area.
Booking Wicklow Way Lodge B&B direct, and what the rating means
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.
