    It was perfect.

    Amazing place. I wish we had more nights here. Suzanne, the owner, made it memorable, cozy, inviting! While we were out for dinner, we came back and found a fire going in the kitchen and sitting room. The morning breakfast was scrumptious - homemade scones, French pressed coffee, fruit and yogurt with choices of muesli, or similar toppings. She gave us recommendations for dinner and hikes in the beautiful Glendalogh National Park. We will be back!!

    No doorbell and hopless phone reception so do use What's App to communicate your arrival.

    Our hostess went above and beyond. We had car trouble that couldn't be fixed until the next day. She drove us into the local town for dinner and then came back to pick us up when done. The next day dropped us to our car and made sure all was well before leaving. The house itself is beautiful: gorgeous setting, big comfortable room with spotless facilities. Lovely big fruit scones for breakfast looking out over the amazing garden.

    The room was comfortable and cosy. The host was very friendly and helpful. She hung up our wet things after a rainy walk and loaned me a spare coat to wear to dinner. The location is perfect - we saw lots of birds and wild foxes from our window. Breakfast scones were delicious! Thank you for a lovely stay.

    There was only one thing we didn’t like, we had to leave!

    There is no right word to describe our staying! The environment was stunning! The house was spotless! Everything was absolutely beautiful and amazing! The hostess is the nicest lady on earth! She prepared us the most amazing breakfasts, with homemade scones, and since we’re not able to rent a car, and taxis are difficult to find in that area, she predisposed to drives around, she was so nice to us! As I said there’s not right, or enough, words to describe how amazing our staying was! Regarding the room, it was beautiful, very we’ll decored, cozy and had all the essentials! Ohh, if you book the room with the extra large bed, believe me when I say, it’s extra extra large! The bed it’s very big and very very comfortable!

    What an amazing find, gorgeous house, fantastic rooms, bed the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The breakfast was unbelievable and the host was like your favourite cousin, sorting out everything, including a lift to the local pub. I cannot recommend this place enough, you will never experience Irish hospitality any better than at Forest view with Suzanne. We will definitely be back.

    Seems like all guests don’t think alike when it comes to sharing a kitchen. Perhaps it would be good to provide a “check list”.

    Quiet and relaxing. Our host Suzanne was wonderful! Our room was great, her restaurant advice and directions were stellar

    We loved staying with Suzanne! We were two single ladies in our late 20s and we fancied some time away in the fresh air because we love walking. Suzanne was exceptional and made us feel like we were in our home away from home. Our room was beautiful and the breakfast scones were to die for. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt very comfortable and looked after.

    Slightly hard to find, sign is small and easily missed. The lodge entrance is just after Doire Coille House B&B, about 1km south of the turnoff to Glenmalure if coming from Laragh.

    Good location for some work in the Glendalough area. Suzanne was very friendly and helpful; especially when the electricity failed due to strong winds.

    Nothing it was perfect!

    My first stop in Ireland. It was perfect! Suzanne was amazing and went above and beyond all expectations. The bedroom and ensuite were super roomy and beautifully presented. The surprise of a breakfast in the morning was fantastic. Separate kitchens for the various guests was genius and made things so homely.
