Lough Tay is a lovely place to enjoy some time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. See if any water activities are on offer here, or simply soak up the peaceful ambiance.

When you've spent some time at this body of water in Glendalough, why not check out Wicklow Mountains National Park, Powerscourt Estate, and Powerscourt Waterfall? They're not very far from Lough Tay and also popular with tourists.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)
The property is great. My issues were what one expects when going to a hostel, namely others snoring and keeping me awake. The front staff were incredibly helpful, helping me to book tours. Shout out to the gentleman who helped me book the Sheep Dog presentation. Fantastic. I really wish I had planned this trip better. I needed more time in Dublin. Latroupe has become my go to for my next trip.
