Is there a better place to stay near Powerscourt than Wicklow? We want to stay rural if we can and not go into Dublin proper. A beautiful place to spend our last afternoon together that is close to Dublin--preferably south of Dublin...since we will be north of it earlier in the trip

I've enjoyed stays in Glendalough and Bray, on a couple of trips.

http://www.glendalough.eu.com/ is one option, but it might be a bit too far out.

In Bray, I've enjoyed stays at: http://www.irishtourist.com/details/old-rectory.shtml and http://www.esplanadehotel.ie/

Very close to Powerscourt, Michele has a pick in Enniskerry: http://www.ferndalehouse.com/

Not too far away is: https://www.johnniefoxs.com/

Last trip I used my Marriott points to stay at the Powerscourt Hotel. It was wonderful. In Glendalough try Riversdale House.

If you have time, stop in to Mount Usher Gardens. Just there 2 days ago, it truly is a magical place.
Glendalough is also amazing anytime.

I stayed outside Delgany at the Glenview Hotel. It was a bit too fancy for me, but about 45 minutes to the airport. Bray has a lot more options, but then you are out of the mountain/hill area.
