Setting and first impressions: The resort sits on the banks of Blessington Lakes, giving many stays a calm, “away-from-it-all” feel while still being an easy drive from Dublin.

Golf-focused facilities: The 18-hole championship course is a major draw, laid out across peninsulas with water and mountain scenery in view for much of the round.

Spa downtime: There’s an on-site spa offering treatments, which suits guests building a slower itinerary around relaxation after a walk, drive, or round of golf.

Food and drink on-site: Dining is centered on the Fairways Restaurant and a more casual brasserie/bar option, making it easy to keep evenings simple without leaving the property.

What’s nearby (and why it matters): Russborough House and the Blessington Greenway are close enough for low-effort day trips, and bigger outings like Glendalough work well as a scenic drive from your Wicklow base.

Leisure expectations: This is a golf-and-spa resort rather than a full leisure complex, so travelers specifically wanting a pool or thermal suite may find the facilities limited.

Service consistency: As with many busy resorts, service and spa logistics can be variable at peak times, so planning ahead may help.

Pros	Cons
Lakeside manor-house setting with Wicklow Mountain views	Not ideal if you want a pool-focused leisure hotel
Championship golf course with memorable scenery	Service may feel less consistent during busy periods
On-site spa and multiple dining options	Remote feel means you’ll likely drive for wider nightlife
