The Pump House is a traditional style cottage, which overlooks a beautiful Victorian lawn with native and exotic trees to the front, and a cobblestone yard to the back. The cottage is tastefully decorated throughout, bright and spacious, with the guests' comfort and enjoyment in mind. It has oil fired central heating and a solid fuel stove as well as a range of extra complimentary amenities. It is located next to our 18th century house, in the middle of 35 acres of farmland dotted with ancient trees, shrubberies, and a wide variety of wildlife and domestic animals-yet only 20 minutes walk from the historic town of Athy. The Barrow runs adjacent to it and is ideal for coarse fishing. We pride ourselves on the gentle hospitality we provide our guests and look forward to welcoming you soon!
Athy is a heritage town in south Kildare, situated on the intersection of the River Barrow and the Grand Canal. The town developed from a 12th century Anglo-Norman settlement and has many beautiful landmark monuments. The Heritage Centre, situated in the main town square, is currently undergoing renovation and will house the Shackleton Museum. There are several important festivals in Athy throughout the year, namely Greenfields Music Festival (May bank holiday), Tri-Athy (June bank holiday), Gordon Bennett Vintage Motor Rally (June) and the Shackleton Autumn School (October). There are several restaurants in the town (Manni in Pasta, Ngais, The Auld Shebeen, The Green Barn) as well as traditional Irish pubs (we recommend a visit to O'Brien's and Clancys) and a good selection of shops.
