The host was incredibly friendly and put the utmost care into decorating and providing an experience. The breakfast was exceptional and although we arrived already having eaten, dinner was offered to us. It was also the softest bed we had in Ireland.

Mother and son family business. We love a lot of things about hosting, but our favourite part has to be meeting new and interesting people from all across the globe, and making them feel right at home with us.
Location & Transport: Our farm is ideally located halfway between Swords and Ashbourne, making it the perfect spot to explore Ireland’s Ancient East, with easy access to the hustle and bustle of Dublin City, as well as the nearby coastal towns and beaches. As we are in the countryside, public transport is available but somewhat limited. Our village is serviced by the 41B Dublin Bus and the 197 TFI Bus. The bus stops are very short walks from our AirBnB. Just a short stroll from our home, you’ll find the beautiful St. Brigid’s Church, constructed in the 1850s — a charming piece of local history. For those looking to experience traditional Irish culture, you’re in luck! There are several traditional Irish pubs nearby where you can enjoy a real pint of Irish Guinness. Nearby, Kettle’s Country House offers a cozy pub and restaurant (though not located in the village centre) that serves an excellent Sunday Roast. As this our local, If you’d like to visit, we’d be happy to drop you there and collect you at no extra charge. If you want to venture further afield, we can arrange transport at an additional cost. For cultural enthusiasts, the TSEAC Arts Centre hosts traditional Irish music and performances. It's somewhat of a hidden gem in the locality, and has a wonderful cafe. Also, visit the nearby church to admire the stunning stained-glass windows created by world-renowned Irish artist Harry Clarke. A peaceful country walk along the church road will let you soak in the beauty of the area. There are frequent concerts and gigs held at Swords and Malahide Castles. Our farm is also located next to the picturesque old stone-cut bridge that crosses the Broadmeadow River, where you can often spot families of ducks and swans swimming by.
