The Old Rectory was perfect for our group of 10. The house and facilities were spotless ✅. The gardens blooming. It feels beautifully rural even though it’s only 30 mins to Naas ✅. As it’s self catering this was handy. The whole booking process was seamless ✅ even though I changed our booking a couple of times. Delighted I added on those extra days. Thankfully I booked well in advance. Martin and Harriet were very obliging and extremely welcoming. Thank you both so much from each and every one of us. Highly recommend for group events.

Guest reviews
The elbowroom escape averages 4.9 out of 5 across 55 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
This place is amazing. Harriet and Martin are so welcoming and even helped us arrange an extra night when our plans suddenly changed. The cottage was comfortable, beautiful, and peaceful. We loved having coffee with the chickens (and a duck) outside the patio and it was the perfect place to rest after several long days of travel. When we very tured out again, the Wicklow Mountains were at our doorstep and we had an amazing day exploring. It was very hard to leave!
Just stayed one night and had the most comfortable sleep . Awoke the next morning to the most peaceful , serene surroundings.
