The two Ashford hotels couldn’t be more different. One, is a 19th century manor house with a riding school attached. This is the Bel Air. The other is Ballyknocken House, a former farmhouse that specialises in home cooked food made by the owner. She also runs a cookery school where you can be enrolled during your stay. Both hotels in Ashford though are alike in their emphasis on tradition, comfort and friendliness.
Ashford is a beautiful village conveniently located on the Dublin-Wicklow road. If you only visit one thing during your stay make sure it is the Mount Usher Gardens.
We would love to hear any comments you have on Ashford and its accommodation.
