We had heard about this gorgeous place for ages and finally got a chance to pop over to Ireland and see Ballyteige Lodge for ourselves.

The comfortable manor enhances the rustic peace and tranquillity of county Wicklow. Sean gave us an extended tour of the large property, with beautiful woodland gardens and a river running through it.

Our special event was to celebrate Patricia’s birthday, and we finished the day with a fabulous evening around the dining table. Interesting conversation, good wine and a delicious meal.

I highly recommend this magical place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway with family and friends – see http://ballyteigelodge.ie/
