We thought it would be big with having 5 bedrooms but were presently surprised at how big it was. There were 7 of us and we didn't feel like we were under each others feet, children went in one room and we chatted a lot in the large kitchen. A big bonus was that everything we wanted was in walking distance so although we had a short break, Glendalough made it a great break.
