BrookLodge & Macreddin Village in Wicklow is a secluded, countryside retreat built like a small “village” stay, best known for food, spa downtime, and switching off in the hills.

Village-style setting: The property is spread across multiple buildings within Macreddin Village, giving it a destination feel where you can settle in rather than just sleep and leave.

Rooms with character: Accommodation spans a mix of more traditional, homey styling and cleaner, modern looks, so the experience can vary depending on which room and building you’re assigned.

Spa and pool time: The Wells Spa focuses on thermal-style relaxation with features like sauna, aroma steam rooms, hammam-style spaces, and flotation options, while the on-site geo-thermal pool adds a standout swim-and-unwind element.

Food-forward stay: Dining is a major reason to book, with The Strawberry Tree positioned around certified organic cooking, plus additional on-site options including an Italian restaurant and more casual pub-style dining.

Easy day trips from the valley: Staying here puts you well placed for Wicklow scenery and outings like Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains National Park, returning to a calm base afterward.

Building-to-building logistics: Because rooms and facilities can be in different buildings, you may need short walks across the village (and sometimes a car park) to reach the spa, restaurants, or reception.

Not a “pop-in” location: The secluded Wicklow setting is the point, but it may feel remote if you want lots of shops, nightlife, or quick public-transport access.

Planning helps: Some facilities may require pre-booking or can be time-sensitive, so it’s worth organizing spa and swim plans early to avoid missing out.
