Tourist in Wicklow

Whiplash85 · 2017-02-21 23:25:11

I am spending 2 nights in Seafield in Wexford with my wife in April. We are having a staycation this year for want of a better word. We are eager to take in Wicklow and all she has to offer as well for a further 2 nights. To that end would people have a preference for Druids Glen or Powerscourt hotels?

I've not stayed in Powerscourt but I've stayed in druids Glen numerous times.

It's lovely but it's not anything spectacular, the rooms are warm, clean, and comfortable but they are aren't generous in size.
The food is good, very good in fact, and the bar has a nice relaxed atmosphere.
The staff are wonderful and don't have the usual 5* resort pretentious attitude some can have in other resorts.

The grounds of Powerscourt are nicer for a walk around imo.

Powerscourt just because you are so close to the fabulous garden walks and the lovely enniskerry village nearby

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
