The Meetings

The Meetings in Wicklow is a friendly, family-run B&B above a lively riverside pub, best known for its scenic setting at the Meeting of the Waters in Avoca.

Riverside setting: The standout feature is the location right where the Avonmore and Avonbeg meet, with a communal balcony designed for lingering over the view. It’s an easy place to slow down, listen to the water, and feel tucked into the Vale of Avoca.

Simple, practical rooms: Accommodation is small-scale, with a handful of en-suite rooms (including double, twin, and triple options). In-room basics include a TV, hairdryer, and tea/coffee-making facilities, and some rooms look out toward the river.

On-site food and drink: Breakfast is served in a restaurant that overlooks the rivers, and the property also has a bar/lounge atmosphere that suits an informal evening close to your room. Traditional music is part of the experience during the summer months.

Handy extras: Free WiFi and free parking make it straightforward for road-trippers exploring Wicklow. There’s also an on-site shop for small essentials and treats.

What’s nearby (for guests): The Meetings works well as a base for Avoca Handweavers, Avondale House, and day trips toward the Glendalough Valley, with the riverbank walk starting right outside.

Noise potential: Because the bar is part of the property, evenings may be livelier than at a quiet countryside B&B, especially in summer.

Limited inventory: With only a few rooms, availability can be tight, and the overall facilities are more intimate than full-service hotels.
