If you are looking for accommodation in Wicklow why not treat yourself to a stay in the traditional and unique surroundings of these courtyard holiday houses. These were the farm workers houses when Coolattin Lodge was a working farm which served the magnificent estate home of Coolattin House, (adjoining property), now Coolattin Golf Club. Each house has been named after it’s original use, we have The Dairymaid’s, The Hayloft, The Saddler’s Loft and Tindal’s Cottage.
