Christmas & New Year Breaks at The Glendalough Hotel
Simple home comforts, family time and Festive Walks & Live music in Casey’s Bistro this New Year’s Eve surrounded by the Wicklow Mountains
Join us this festive season at The Glendalough Hotel for the much-loved days between Christmas and New Year. It’s the perfect time for family reunions, friends’ get-togethers, and winter walking breaks in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains. Steps from the Monastic City and a stroll from the Lakes, there is no better location to enjoy the outdoors.
When you stay with us, you can leave the car parked in our car park and step straight into nature. From our front door, enjoy easy family walks through the Monastic City, gentle hikes down to the lakes, or peaceful winter strolls after breakfast in the crisp mountain air.
As the only hotel located within the Glendalough Valley, we offer a truly unique Christmas and New Year escape surrounded by this historically rich, spiritual landscape where the scenery does all the talking.
