Clone House
Review
Perfectly located within Wicklow’s lush countryside, Clone House is a beautifully restored gem, thanks to the vision and dedication of its owners, Jeff and Svetlana Watson. With a passion for preservation, they have breathed new life into this historic property, transforming it into more than just a place to stay, it’s a true Downton Abbey experience. Every detail of the house reflects their commitment to excellence, from the impeccably designed rooms, where no expense has been spared, to the warm and attentive hospitality. Staying at Clone House feels like stepping into a haven of charm and comfort, surrounded by stunning landscapes. Perfectly situated near Wicklow’s major attractions and within easy reach of Dublin itself, Clone House offers the ideal balance of tranquility and accessibility, without the high costs of chain hotels. This their second endorsement in my Irish book, Clone House is now firmly established as an unforgettable classic experience.
