Just arrived home after spending 5 days at Derrywater House Aughrim. Area perfect for touring Wicklow and surrounding areas. House ideal for large parties. Brian and his wife are perfect hosts, very warm and welcoming. Brian so very informative on area and places to visit. Grounds of the house are magnificent and most nights were spent around the pit fire. Highly recommended.

I booked Derrywater House as one of the accommodation locations for some of the wedding party for our upcoming wedding in June 2021. I initially booked the property in mid-2020. Sadly, after holding out as long as possible (March 2021), we had to cancel the wedding due to the obvious restrictions in place. This host, Brian, was exceptionally understanding and kindly refunded our deposit without hesitation. Although we did not get to stay at the accommodation, Brian was a true pleasure to communicate with and I will certainly not hesitate to book this property again in the future. I spent countless hours researching the region for properties, and Derrywater House was most definitely a top choice. Highly recommended for the communication alone.

The house and hosts were great.. Interacting with Sykes seemed to just involve painfully communicating with a glitchy computer programme; so many generic emails, non-responses, and a mess-up regarding insurance. The payment system took so many tries to work even though I was using a standard Visa card, the company provided no support other than more automated emails threatening that the booking would be cancelled if the payment didn't go through - the problem was definitely not on my end. Even the initial email I got a couple of weeks ago to send in feedback contained a broken link. When I responded to ask for a working link I got no response. Overly reliant on ineffective automation, a service the host shouldn't waste his money on. If it's not automated, the people working for the company are terrible at basically tweaking form letters. I'd recommend the house to anyone, but tell them to go through a different company and I will tell the host as much also.
