Abhainn cottages are located in a truly remarkable elevated site with the most exquisite view of the Kings River "Abhainn Rí", the Blessington lakes and Wicklow Mountains. A wonderful family favourite with lots to see and do in Wicklow, Kildare and Dublin City.
The name Abhainn Rí was given to the cottages because the Kings River originally ran through the farm until the Blessington lake was created during the 1940's. One third of the original farm now lies under the lake.
