Mount Usher Gardens

We regretted that our stay was so short as Mt. Usher is such a unique place to visit. Whether you are a garden lover or just love the outdoors, being on the doorstep of a landscape with such a rich horticultural history makes this a must-see. It was such a pleasure to enjoy the comfort of the well kept, period residence and to step outside into a treasure of garden delights. Katherine is a gracious and generous host with a wealth of adivce about local amenities.

This is a wonderful B&B in the most wonderful relaxing settings of Mount Usher Gardens. Access to the gardens is available from the B&B. Katherine, our host, made us feel very, very welcome. Her breakfasts were absolutely delicious, which includes fruit salad, scrambled egg with either bacon for mushrooms on delicious, crispy toast. Then lovely fresh bread and jam. All delicious!!! Our spacious double room (with huge bed) and en suite was very clean and very well equipped. We had a huge picture window, which from our room had wonderful views over the gardens! A joy!!!!!

Such a wonderful place. Beautiful room with a great view, very comfortable too! Katherine is an excellent host who goes the extra mile to ensure you are well looked after, nothing is too much trouble. A delightful person who cooks delicious breakfasts. We loved this place so much we are already planning a return.

This place is so magical! We stayed actually inside Mount Usher Gardens in the founders original home. Katherine welcomed us and made us feel very much at home. Our bedroom had the most exquisite and breathtaking views over the botanical gardens which have to be seen to be believed. We slept very comfortably.. everything was immaculate, hot shower, tea and coffee available in the room. The breakfast provided was outstanding If you're wanting to visit the stunning Wicklow region book a room here and you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I recently stayed 3 nights with Katherine and Konrad and our stay was just fabulous. There was no detail missed. The room was beautiful, very large, peaceful and well appointed. There were lovely linens and toiletries. Katherine was very helpful with dinner reservations in spots we would never have known about. She gave us nice guidance on places to visit. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, wholesome and plentiful. The gardens and setting was spectacular and to be able to explore them was a really treat! We loved our stay and would highly recommend it to others.

I stayed the night here with my friend and it was an experience. Katherine could not have been more welcoming & accommodating. Our room had everything we required. The views from the property were breathtaking and the icing on the cake was our private entrance into mount usher gardens. I feel very privileged that Katherine allowed us to enjoy her beautiful home.

It was certainly the best place that we stayed in in Ireland and probably the best place for our entire trip, including France and Spain. The hosts were very welcoming and the grounds of the house were beautiful. We had a very large bedroom with large windows that overlooked their garden. The bathroom was excellent with all necessary products provided. Everything was spotless. A good breakfast was served in a room overlooking their garden. I cannot recommend it enough.

What a glorious place to stay. The house is fabulous, nestling in one of the most beautiful gardens in Ireland. Even though we were there in late September, there was plenty to enjoy in our walk in the garden. You can access it across a private bridge from the house. Both bedrooms are huge, king-size beds and massive windows overlooking the gardens. Best view ever. Excellent breakfasts. Katherine could not have done more to make our stay so perfect. Having grown up in Dublin, I already knew many of the local attractions but recommend a trip to Kilruddery House.

We had a perfect stay here! Beautiful bedroom overlooking the wonderful Mount Usher gardens, huge bed and lovely bedding…. Delicious and plentiful breakfast served by a very friendly hostess. Cannot recommend it enough! We will be back.. Thank you Katherine!

This really is a dreamy place to stay. Set in the heart of Mount Usher gardens we had a view to die for from our bedroom windows. A vista of lush trees and and the meandering river Vatry. The soft sound of water sent us straight to sleep in the crisp white cotton sheets in a vast bed. Katherine was very welcoming and cooked a delicious breakfast each morning. Home made marmalade too. The family house oozes quirky Irish style. Can’t wait to return next Spring to see the rhododendrons. Thank you

This is a truly magical place. Beautiful bedrooms, a great breakfast and a wonderful host in Katherine. But it's the view that takes your breath away - it's spellbinding. I had a double room overlooking part of the gardens and the River Vartry. The sound of the water flowing was so soothing. A walk in the gardens is a must and there's a complex of shops and restaurants nearby where you can relax after your stroll. I would love to return to this area.

This is a truly magical place, the gardens are wonderful and during our stay were a riot of colour and the sun shone constantly. Our bedroom was lovely and had the benefit of overlooking the garden and the river and the sound of the water was extremely relaxing. Excellent breakfasts were taken in the sun room. Katherine was a very charming host and nothing was too much trouble. We will always remember this very special house and it's magnificent garden.

What a fabulous place! Within easy reach of Dublin and nestled into the Wicklow mountains, this beautiful house set in the amazing gardens is a real treat. Katherine and Kon are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. We enjoyed this peace of paradise and will be back!

Arriving at Mount Usher Gardens was like arriving in a small piece of heaven. As we drove cautiously through the gates, the colours, perfumes and sounds of the garden filled our senses. We were met with a warm welcome and a cup of tea and shown to our large room with a glorious view across the lawn and down the river. This place is all about the garden, and what a garden it is. We enjoyed exploring the paths with the place to ourselves and listening to the birds. The whole stay was a delight and we definitely hope to return one day.

A lovely stay! Very comfortable accommodation- stunning view from the bed room, glorious garden and lovely breakfast. Great area to stay.

We were over for a wedding nearby over St Patrick's weekend. Katherine made us feel very welcome . The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds overlooking the river and beautiful gardens . We enjoyed our walk around Mount Usher Gardens the morning after the wedding

A truly warm hospitality. We felt so much at home. The White Room will live in my memory for a long time - that view of the river and the blue glimpse of the kingfisher each morning. My early morning walks around the garden on my own were magical. Sitting on the bench looking upriver. Meeting the gardeners. The heron perched outside our bedroom window.

Simply the best! A serene house in the most wonderful gardens which can be wandered at leisure. Lovely rooms with super views and the breakfast room/lounge is a treasure. I felt we could sit happily there all day. Catherine is a warm welcoming host and knows the local area well. Her helpful advice gave us many days of walking pleasure. A true gem to stay in.

From the moment we arrived until the minute we left, Katherine and Konrad made us feel welcome and at home. Their lovely house is in the middle of a gorgeous garden, a haven from formal places, with abundant history. We had the luxury of a spacious bay-windowed room with the most marvellous view over the lawn, valley and river beneath. Excellent freshly cooked breakfasts, we can’t imagine a lovelier place to stay - we will be back!

Our stay at Mount Usher was simply divine! Katherine and Konrad were excellent hosts and we were looked after so well and made to feel so very welcome. The gardens were amazing! The gardens were also good hosts! In as much as there was always wildlife and birds for us to catch glimpses of! An amazing few days most enjoyable!
