Bel-Air is an old country house on an estate with really good riding. Imagine a fantastic horse and thousands of acres of breathtaking Wicklow woods, trails and forest. An exhilarating ride to the top of a mountain where your reward will be stunning coastal scenery and a chance to catch your breath.

You are still on a high when you get back, ready to relax and unwind by the big, roaring log fire.
Our family have welcomed visitors here since 1937. You find us hiding away in the foothills, just outside Ashford, about 40 minutes south of Dublin. We look forward to seeing you.

In an age of indistinguishable chains of concrete hotels, Bel-Air shines through. It is an oasis in the desert; a country house of character and a location of charm and beauty.

Wicklow, of course, is far from being a desert. It is renowned as “The Garden of Ireland”, but if the thirst should come upon you, you will find refreshment in abundance and probably a bit of craic in the hotel bar.

At Bel-Air we pride ourselves of friendly service and attention to detail. We will endeavor to make your stay a pleasant and memorable one, whether you ride or not.
