Very best stay in our 3 weeks in Ireland. The cottage was private and so very clean and comfortable. The views are ethereally unbeatable.

The view from every window was incredible. Our party of five joked about ways we could convince the owners to let us live there. None of us wanted to leave. The cottage was one of those places you don’t want to tell people about because you don’t...

Abhainn Ri is owned and run by Joe & Niamh Byrne. We love guests coming to stay in this very special place with stunning views of the farmland, river, lake and Wicklow mountains. We welcome our guests to enjoy a home baked treat on arrival to our cosy cottages. We both love cooking at Abhainn Ri and our guests can enjoy our home baked cake on arrival. Niamh also gives baking classes and afternoon tea for family groups. Joe loves cooking, gardening and taking care of our farm animals. We both love to cook together and enjoy everything about nature and relaxation.
Abhainn Rí is located on farmland overlooking the stunning sweeping landscape of the kings river valley as it flows into Blessington Lakes. The Byrne family have created a wonderful, welcoming space where visitors can reconnect with nature and experience country living and freedom away from the stresses of everyday life. Wander freely through the fields and follow the Mindfulness Trail dotted with notes of inspiration while enjoying a little banter with the friendly farm animals along the way. We have a folder in each cottage giving advice on lots of places to visit. Lots of places to eat out like the Hollywood Inn and Ballmore Inn. The Hollywood Cafe serve lunches and pizza on Friday & Saturday nights. Information in each cottage for guests.
