County Meath: soggiorni in agriturismo

The kids say this is the BEST Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in (we have over 25+ stays). If you are interested in a true Irish farm experience, this is the place for you. Over the course of 4 days we rode horses, shot clay pigeons, watched the sheepdogs work, walked the estate, did archery, sat by a blazing hot fire whilst having a good chat, and enjoyed learning about the history of the land- including ancient ring forts from over a thousand years ago. We have adopted Brian & his wonderful animals into the family, I think he’d claim us too. Things to remember- this is a working farm. You may encounter muck, dust, spiders but it is a functional space to lay your head at night after you’re exhausted from a day on the farm. Brian is responsible and available to help with anything you may need. I’d say this is the last of its kind in Ireland, enjoy it while you can.

I stayed at Carmel's place a few years ago and have often wanted to return. This time we stayed at Carmel's place with a large group of mums and our kids. We had wonderful time and would love to give even more stars as Carmel and Fintan went above and beyond anything expected from and air BnB host. The location was great in a rural setting and safe and secure so we felt our kids were safe running around. The cleanliness and facilities were second to none and their were so many extra personal touches that made our stay so comfortable including taking into account food preferences for breakfast and leaving us some lovely treats. Some quotes from the other mums show how pleased we really were: Carmel was so thoughtful. When they saw how many kids there were they power washed and sanitised some extra toys for them to play with which was a nice touch. Carmel went above and beyond with the extras (toiletries, slippers, dressing gowns, breakfast, treats), we really weren't expecting that. And she seemed happy to host a load of children which lots of places are not. Absolutely the best air BnB I’ve stayed in for all the little extras, the pony rides were fantastic….the slippers & toiletries etc. It was a great space for kids & families. I didn’t feel worried about letting the kids roam for a bit… The super stocked fridge 👍🏼 the electric front gate made it feel safe as well and the ground level trampoline was a major hit with all 😁

Arthur and Michelle’s place is a gem! So close to Newgrange and other historical sites. The bedroom was very comfortable and bathroom was great. The hosts are next level - even made sure to have lots of gluten free options for us in the morning. Both Arthur and Michelle are a wealth of information and great stories. Will for sure tell anyone I know visiting that area to stop in for a stay with them.

Castle Barmeath was an incredible Airbnb experience. Lord & Lady Bellew showed us around their 400 Year old Castle which has remained in their family all this time. I’m just amazed at how history one place can hold. There was about 300 acres surrounded by stone walls. Trails trough a gorgeously manicured forest with many trails leading to secrete walled gardens full of fruit trees and flowers. There was even a natural swimming pool and stone bridge over a lake. I feel so lucky to have gotten to experience something so grand and magical!

Mary and her husband Michael are wonderful hosts. Mary had baked a cake for us! She is a wealth of information on the local area. The accommodation is clean and warm. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen. It’s a quick drive to Trim and accessible to driving tours of the Boyne Valley. We also took our car to a train station 15 mins away for day trips to Dublin. I would highly recommend staying at Kiltale.

Wonderful property, very spacious and comfortable. Well situated for a family wedding in Slane then Tankardstown house, would definitely stay again! Carina was very helpful and easy to communicate with for booking the hot tub and arranging check in

Definitely a nice place to call home while you’re on travel PATRICK and Thandi, are Great and their parents are equally fabulous! The view out the kitchen window was terrific and seemed to go on forever. Close to the city yet you feel like you’re in the middle of the country! The sound of the birds, singing in the morning was probably my favorite part of staying here. The kitchen had exactly what I needed to make breakfast and dinner while we were there. The beds were absolutely the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in peaceful and Private. Definitely a place I would stay again. I highly recommend this space having two master bedrooms was definitely a plus! PATRICK, Thandi and his parents go above and beyond to make you feel at home and make you feel like family and at the same time give you all the privacy you could possibly need❣️

Needed a place local to the village of Nobber, Peter’s lodge was perfect… less than a 5 minute drive. The lodge itself suited my husband and I and had the added extra of a log burner which I loved for the winter nights. Will definitely book again.. Thanks for a lovely stay!

This house was the most beautiful house I’ve ever stayed in! The pictures can’t fully capture the beauty and spaciousness of this house. The surroundings were amazing, I loved being welcomed by the horses and chickens when I first arrived. Linda was such a lovely host and made the stay stress free and easy. Perfect place to host any event and would definitely be coming back!

Cute little cottage on a farm close to Mullingar. Olga and her family were very accommodating and helpful during our time there. When we needed help personally they were eager to assist and were happy to show our 1 year old around the farm. If you need a break in the quiet Irish countryside, can definitely recommend Olga’s cottage.

Emma was extremely helpful with everything we needed; from helping us get to places to being extremely communicative. Emma was so nice and down to earth and made our stay amazing; my friend and I said that we felt like we were visiting family. The place itself was great, super comfortable and stocked with food, and had such beautiful scenery/greenery. I would 100% stay here again and would recommend it to anyone else planning to stay in this area.

We stayed in the Herdsmans Cottage for our wedding weekend. It was so beautiful and it felt like we were staying in a grandparents beautiful country cottage. So much thought and consideration was put into the decor of every room. We are so appreciative of our hosts. It felt very special. Thank you.

The location and the house were idyllic. The decor is perfect for the age of the house. Perfect to access Dublin but was also a good base for other day trips like Waterford (2hrs), Blarney castle and stone (3hrs) and the Cliffs of Moher (3.5hrs). Lots of really cool local places too Skerries Mills (30 mins), New Grange (30 mins), Battle of Boyne Museum (30 mins) and Hill of Tara (30 mins). Very good local restaurants. Serena is an extremely good host and responds to text quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Mickey, was a real gentleman, very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. When we arrived Mickey had the makings of a fry, and sandwich ingredients as well as cake and biscuits. He went to great trouble to source local taxi numbers and even dropped us to where we wanted to go on one occasion. He was very helpful without being intrusive. We will definitely be back again.

Nous avons passez un excellent séjour. Un endroit calme en pleine nature et à proximité de la ville d’Asbourne. Prévoyez un taxi ou autre pour rejoindre la ville en quelques minutes mais une fois arrivé en ville les bus sont présents et permettent de rejoindre Dublin facilement. Dans l’appartement vous pourrait trouver tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour y séjourner tranquillement avec une machine à laver disponible. Il y a un petit livre avec toutes les attractions à faire en ville, recommandations et les astuces (arrêt de bus…) Les hôtes sont très accueillants et sont ouvert à la discussion. Je recommande ce logement nous avons passez avec la famille un agréable séjour. Merci pour tout

Stay here every year, always welcoming and no problems at all. Lovely area and clean and tidy definitely would recommend

I had a truly lovely stay at this peaceful cottage. The home was cosy, clean, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The surroundings were beautifully quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Gary and Margaret were wonderful hosts: kind, responsive, and very welcoming. I really appreciated their hospitality. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and scenic stay in the Irish countryside. Thank you again for everything!

We had a lovely stay and really enjoyed our time at John's place. We wish we could have stayed longer. One of the few Airbnbs which is so much nicer in real life than on the pictures. Pictures cannot capture this tranquil place. Peaceful, idyllic place and grounds. The paths were lovely with bluebells and it felt like a little adventure hiking around the grounds. The sheep with their lambs were lovely to see through the bedroom window every morning. Tom the resident cat (outside) was a sweet addition to our stay. Always friendly and greeting us for cuddles many times throughout the day. Can really recommend for a family stay and for people who want a peaceful and quiet time in the countryside with lovely walks and beautiful views. Hope we'll be able to make it back in the future. We loved it.

What an amazing space. Surrounded by nature, the loft was cosy and welcoming. Everything you could need was in reach and Larissa was an excellent host. We can't wait to come back and visit again!

wow - what a place! We loved it, there was plenty to keep the kids entertained and the home so very cosy and welcoming. A beautiful place, great accommodation, great location and wonderful hosts - the flexibility at a difficult time for us was so very appreciated! My family & I cannot wait to return!

Saskia's home is just perfect and they're the perfect host! Saskia communicated frequently, clearly and was so friendly. The house was immaculate, and cozy. We booked it so that we could be in Ireland for Christmas with our family. It was twenty minutes from Mullingar - an easy quick drive. The house was so spacious. At no point did we feel on top of each other - as would have in a hotel room. I thoroughly enjoyed waking up and stepping out the front door every morning with a cup of tea to take in the fields. The area is so tranquil and quintessential Ireland. I would recommend this home to EVERYONE!!! Anytime we go back to Ireland we will be booking Saskia's home!!! WE LOVED IT!
