Hen House on the Farm/Ashbourne

The pictures were exactly what we experienced. First time using VRBO. Farm property was amazing and the attention to detail provided by the care takers was "spot on". From welcoming basket with fresh bread, jams, coffee and tea to providing amenities similar to being at home. Will be back in the future.

Bien placé pour aller à Dublin en bus (env 40 min)

Spacieux, bien équipé, facile d'accès et proche Dublin. Facilité de communication avec le propriétaire (Cyaran). Beaucoup d'informations utiles données par le propriétaire. Légères nuisances sonores liées aux passages de voitures et avions.

Perfect hidden jem

After traveling for a whole day, we were met with fresh bread, jams, milk, orange juice, tea and coffee. It was a great and thoughtful surprise for us. The Hen house had plenty of room for the 5 of us. The on site washer and dryer was a godsend for us because we were In Liverpool the week before and weren’t able to do any laundry. It is in a great location for us to day travel. It was a trip of a lifetime for us! We hope to be back within the next 10 years!

Liegt leider an einer am Tag viel befahrenen Straße

Insgesamt okay. Leider plätscherte Regenwasser im Wohnzimmer an der Innenseite der Scheibe runter. Die Betten waren gut und sauber. Der Geschirrspülerkorb war rostig und sehr verbogen. Alles in allem war es für zwei Nächte okay. Wir hatten für den Preis und die Beschreibung allerdings besseres erwartet.

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect place to start your Ireland adventure. We are less than forty minutes from the Dublin city centre. The Henhouse is only a fifteen minute drive from Dublin Airport, but is deep in the countryside. It is also two miles from Ratoath or Ashbourne, where you can enjoy all modern amenities. Local supermarkets and food delivery services deliver to us and there is a regular taxi service. The 109a bus from the airport stops around 1km from us and the 103 bus to Dublin city centre goes by every 20 minutes. We are less than half an hour from the UNESCO Heritage site Newgrange, from the Hill of Tara. We are ten minutes from Tayto Park, the renowned theme park.

What makes this property unique

Why start your Ireland adventure with us? We are both rural and convenient. Guests tell us that they find the atmosphere relaxing and that they enjoy observing daily life on the farm. Guests who wish to work from the Henhouse are happy with the broadband speed and the spaciousness of The Henhouse.
