The Cowshed is a bright modern two-bedroom apartment in a refurbished stone farm building. It has a fully-fitted kitchen; and a dining and living area that opens out onto a private patio. It faces east over fields and forest on a working farm.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage â it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The location was perfect: surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet with quiet, traffic-free roads that made getting to our daily destinations easy and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!
We had a great stay here. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. The host is very welcoming and made us feel at home. Wish we had more time to spend in the area then we did.
The hosts were very gracious and or little one enjoyed walking around the woods and getting to see a few animals. Very nice that they had a travel crib and a highchair for us to use. Ashebourne had a surprising amount of restaurants for takeout and easy access to Dublin/the airport with a rental car.
We loved everything about our stay here and will definitely be back next time we are in Dublin. So close to the city but far enough out to feel years away from the hustle and bustle.
This charming cottage (the Cowshed) is in a very quiet and convenient location in Meath. The accommodations were as shown, and we had a very comfortable two-day stay. There's a beautiful forest in the back that you can wander through, and the communication with the Hosts was fantastic. I would definitely stay at the Duffy's Ballabin again.
Nice 2 bedroom stay with a view.. sheep and lambs out the back door. Great distance from Dublin, not too far but enough for a quiet night of sleep during St Patricks weekend. Kitchen had all we needed and the welcome goods were nice. Host was understanding with time change/dates misstep on my part.
A wonderful place for families! Sheep right outside the door and lots of places to take the kids on walks. Eva was a lovely help and provided high chair. Thank you for the bread, butter, tea, coffee, juice, and milk upon arrival!
Ciaran and Eva made our stay so comfortable and welcoming. It was a great start to our Irish holiday and I would stay with them again. They answered all of our questions and were easy to contact if we needed anything. If you are looking for peaceful, country experience, this is it. Absolutely charming accommodations.
Located just outside Ashbourne, short driving distances to Slane and Dublin airport. Two bedroom self catering apartment with all amenities. Eva greeted us with a welcome basket of fresh bread, milk, juice and beverages đ
Highly recommend! This self-service stay was impeccable. The owners were too kind and the home had everything we needed; two bedrooms, kitchen and living room/dining room combo. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the convenience of having grocery stores and restaurants within 5 minutes, while only being 25 minutes outside of Dublin.
My 9-yr old said it best: we're surrounded by life here!!
Ciaran and Eve were wonderful hosts! The apartment was very tidy and easy to find. Our transport was delayed and they incredibly accommodating of a midnight arrival. We were delighted to find tea and snacks waiting for us in the kitchen. The farm was easy to find and we loved exploring the trails and meeting all the animals living there. We look forward to visiting again!
We had a great two nights on the farm! Eva was welcoming and accommodating and our kids loved the friendly cat and dogs on the property. The cowshed was very comfortable and had everything that we needed. :)
Quiet, comfortable and nice location for our needs.
We took 25 minutes to get to Newgrange and about the same time to get to the Dublin airport for our flight home.
We were treated with a lovely basket of breakfast foods, as well.
The host has prepared an excellent and very comprehensive book of all you could need while staying in this area.
