Stunning Mews House on a Historic Estate in Dublin

Perfectly located to enjoy the Coast, City and Mountains.
Beautiful Mews House on one of Killiney's most Historic Estates. A five-minute walk to the breathtaking Killiney Bay with its sweeping coastal views. With a number of villages nearby including Dalkey village which is reminiscent of a French Medieval town with every convenience and a host of restaurants and quaint pubs. The Estate is a great base to discover the beautiful island of Ireland. There is a DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) train 5 minutes stroll to the beachfront station to bring you into the city of Dublin.

Killiney is widely regarded as the place to live in Dublin. It has the nickname of the "Rock Star Belt". Killiney and its close neighbour Dalkey don't take themselves too seriously and the locals are some of the friendliest you could ever hope to meet. The Valclusa Estate is the preferred location for many film directors, film and music producers, writers, actors, musicians and film studios including Universal, Netflix, History Channel and the Irish Film Studios.

Warm, calm and welcoming, the Mews has been carefully furnished throughout. Its airy open-plan layout makes it ideal for family trips where you can entertain, cook, laugh and most importantly reconnect again. We know those special moments just happen naturally, and the relaxed vibe here is the right setting.

The Valclusa Estate is one of the largest Estates (approx 5 acres), still held in private ownership in Killiney. We even have our own monument in the garden, look forward to telling you the story when we meet! It is only a five-minute walk to what is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular coastlines in Dublin and indeed Ireland.

We have paid attention to the details and want your stay with us to be as enjoyable as possible. The Norwegian duvets on the beds, a generous supply of pillows and the beds will always be presented in immaculate condition. It's how you start and end the day, and we feel it can be the make and break of a stay. The three bedrooms, two with king-size beds, the third has bunk beds. The property is very secure and tranquil and there is secure parking allocated for two cars in the visitors' car park.

Gorgeous Estate and Location
Karen was very helpful through the entire reservation process and always expedient in her replies. As soon as we arrived at the Mews House, everything was clean and immaculately organized. The Norwegian duvets on the guest beds are amazing! I slept better than I do at home! The area is gorgeous. We often took the train (right down the hill) to visit some of the adorable coastal towns nearby. Dalkey was one of our favorite nearby towns and the nearby Wicklow Mountains are a site to see! You will thoroughly enjoy your stay at the Mews house.

The Gem of Ireland
I never write reviews but this place is amazing! The house is impeccably designed and styled like a page out of Architecture Digest! The area is breathtakingly beautiful which is why your neighbors are Bono, Christoper Nolan, and Matt Damon to name a few. It is truly the Amalfi Coast of Ireland! The property is a short walk to the beach and the dart terminal which can get you anywhere in no time from Dublin or to seside towns like Bray or Howth, You can also walk from the property to the top of Killiney Hill where you have an incredible view that you wont forget! We normally stay in Ritz Carlton and Four Season properties for their incredible customer service yet we were blown away by our hosts Karen and Jonathan who treated us as if we were family during our stay and constantly anticipated things we would need and made suggestions for day trips that made us feel like locals. If you get the chance to book this property I highly suggest it and cant wait to come back to Ireland and book this property again!

Sublime Estate & Gracious Owners
The Valclusa Mews House was fabulous! Tasteful modern design of a historic building on a sublime 5 acre estate in beautiful Killiney. Karen & Jonathan could not have been more hospitable & gracious. Spent a month there filled with memories that I will treasure forever.

Lovely location
My 4 friends and I thoroughly enjoyed this property. The beds were very comfortable. The views lovely. Very close to the train which is about 6 stops from Trinity College in Dublin. Nice little town. Keep in mind though it's a bit hilly. One item we would have like to have known in advance is that the bathroom is on the first floor and bedrooms are on the second floor and the only access is by means of a spiral staircase-a bit difficult carrying luggage. Also be sure to have specific directions sent to you to find the property as it's off the beaten path. Overall a wonderful time and Jonathan and Karen were always very responsive with good advice and information.

Slice of Heaven on Earth
My group of 8 ranging in age from 7-64 had an absolutely wonderful time while at Valclusa! Jonathan and Karen provided thorough and immediate responses to my questions before and during our trip and are just fantastic people. Valclusa is a welcome escape after a day of sight-seeing in bustling Dublin. The grounds of the estate are beautiful and the interior of the house is something out of the House Beautiful magazine. Muted tones of cream, gray and black create a serene environment while the occasional red chair offers a splash of color. Magazines, tourist brochures are ample as are a few items/toys for kids. The kitchen has everything you could want or need including a great selection of cookbooks from local chefs. The 3 bedrooms are spacious and it was a treat to wake up each day with the amazing view of the gorgeous green grounds and the occasional sighting of Hawkeye, the hosts friendly dog. After a restful nights sleep and quick breakfast my family and I would walk to the Killiney train station to take the DART into Dublin or Dalkey. The views of the sea from the train are breathtaking. If you get an opportunity to stay at Valclusa, take it! I hope to go back!

Valclusa = Paradise
My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Valclusa, in a fantastic Mews house on this picturesque estate in Killiney. Karen and Jonathan were gracious and welcoming, helping us plan our day trips and tending to our every need. The house was beautifully styled, well-appointed and the beds divine! We slept so well during our stay. We also enjoyed our morning visits with Hawkeye, their frisky and friendly Labrador! Though feeling like we were worlds away from the city centre, the convenient train was just a 5-10 minute walk down the hill. We highly recommend staying here, away from the bustle of the city and wrapped in the warmth and beauty of natural surroundings, sweet air and exquisite hospitality.

Absolutely Amazing
Myself and three friends stayed here for a weekend for a bowling event in Bray. The accommodation was amazing and Jonathan and Karen are such lovely people. I can only describe our time there as amazing. It really is luxury and nothing is too much trouble. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Thanks again

Magical Time In Killiney at Historic Estate - Our Family Loved it - Five Stars
Our family had a wonderful stay at the Mews House in Killiney, Ireland. Karen and Jonathan, the owners, are so wonderfully warm and gracious, and are happy to offer insights and advice for exploring nearby Dublin, Wicklow, or all of Ireland for that matter. They know everything there is to know and have exquisite taste in terms of the property, the must-see sights and restaurant recommendations. They make the experience very easy, which is hard to find when traveling. Their property is stunning. Secluded, with lots of trees and green grass, a long driveway, and very spacious. On the outside, you'll feel like 19th century royalty arriving at your weekend retreat, as you visit this historic property. You will enjoy strolling along the more than an acre of green grass spotting the occasional fox. And you will hear the church bells ring at noon. Our kids threw a football around the yard, and enjoyed swinging on the swings. It is the perfect place to disconnect & relax. You feel your shoulders drop on the drive in. On the inside, it is all brand new, modern and you'll feel like you're starring in a designer magazine. Karen is a designer and she spares no detail-- from the luxurious, comfortable linens, couches, to the works of art, books, decor and accents elegantly placed about. The ceilings are very high, the three bedrooms are big, and plenty of sunlight comes in through the windows which have terrific views of the property. The grey hardwood floors, and the red accent chairs against the clean white walls add another flair of modern elegance. The property is impeccably clean and had plenty of room for this family of four from Los Angeles. The only issue is when you stay at this property, you will not want to leave. You will want to cook dinners and entertain, which we did one night. Killiney is a beautiful location, 20-30 minutes outside of Dublin, a train stop a way from a Dalkey and some terrific shops and restaurants. Hiking up nearby Killiney Hill is a must, with its breathtaking views of the Irish Sea. Book dinner at DeVille's in Dalkey and have breakfast at the Corner Note Cafe. It is a truly special property. (If you're a dog lover, ask the owners to play with their fabulous dog, Hawkeye. He's special.) It is no wonder the neighborhood boasts the likes of Bono, the Edge and many other Irish celebrities, because it is one of the most gorgeous spots on the Emerald Isle. Highest recommendation.
