Accomodation
Ard-Solas is a haven nestled into Black Hill Mountain, directly overlooking the Blessington Lakes and with 180 degree views towards Ballyknockan, Valleymount, Baltyboys, Lacken and Blessington itself. This property was home and studio to Peter O Toole from the Hothouse Flowers and his family for the past 12 years. A place of beauty and inspiration where many songs were composed, much laughter was had and where many famous friends availed of the hospitality and studio facilities.
As a writer producer and musician, Peter was able to work away from the hustle and bustle of city life, composing and producing songs for Hothouse Flowers, John Spillane's award winning album, Marianne Faithful, Michelle Shocked as well as friendly calls from Joe Elliot, Stuart Levine and Van Morrison. As a touring musician, Ard-Solas was a perfect retreat to come home to after traveling the US, Japan, Australia and Europe.....with the breathtaking views, fresh air, natural spring water, long walks up Cleevaughan towards the Sally Gap, delicious pints of Guinness in Zellers and romantic strolls by the lakeside....

A place of refuge to rest the weary soul, recharge the drooping spirit or to find a well of inspiration. Heavenly location.
