The location is beautiful and quiet which was perfect for our trip. It’s an easy drive to Dublin and the airport. Eva was so kind and hospitable; my daughter and I really enjoyed meeting her. Would definitely stay here again.

Good find
We had a great time here. Nice property and grounds to walk around. They have 2 sheep on the property (gated away) that we passed by on our walk through the woods (watch out for pesky nettle in Ireland)! Great hospitality from Eva (the caretaker) and the bread and jam basket was lovely. Clean and heat worked well. Plenty of parking if need be. Full kitchen stocked with everything we needed, even a French press! Ciaran had great communication and responded quickly to any questions we had before and during our stay. They were able to add another twin bed in the room with 2 beds for us, which was great for our family of 5. Small note - not the greatest shower pressure, but that didn’t bother us. We checked in at 2am due to a late night flight, and Ciaran was accommodating. Also, a bonus - the cutest and friendliest farm cat named Kitty may greet you outside as you arrive!

Peaceful respite close to the city!
Eva and Ciaran were wonderful hosts! Before our arrival we received a helpful local guide and on arrival we were greeted personally and given a tour of the apartment and directions for the farm trail. A minor kitchen pan problem was dealt with immediately and Eva searched the dryer for my son's missing Airpod! The apartment was clean and austere. There are multiple apartments in the building and we did not get one that had the listed king bed; the second bedroom had a queen and there was no Murphy bed, just a mattress under one of the twins. The living room furniture made it a bit difficult for four adults to sit comfortably and watch a match. The tranquility and proximity to the city are a huge plus!

Spent 3 nights on the back end of our Ireland trip and had a great stay. Kids loved eating breakfast with sheep in the field all around! Lovely small farm with all the amenities a family would need and very close to town with great shops. Fantastic hosts and gift basket of breakfast items was a nice surprise!

Great property, amazing host!
Our host, Eva, was incredibly responsive to every inquiry. She also had excellent recommendations on local sights for our party. The kitchen came stocked with a few niceties such as bread, croissants, butter, jam, milk and juice. Beds were quite comfortable and we enjoyed resting while watching the sheep and listening to the birds. Perfect place to stay for our first two nights in Ireland!

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.

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!

Great place to stay at the start of our trip! Our host was wonderful and so responsive, greeting us with fresh bread, jam, butter, coffee and juice. Our kiddos loved meeting the friendly farm cat on the property and walking the trails to meet the sheep (even trying to herd them themselves:)) close to Dublin and airport! Thanks again!

Short, but very nice stay.
The property was nice for our family of 5. Everything was clean and Ciaran met us when we pulled in to show us around. He also has one of the most comprehensive guides on amenities, restaraunts, things to do in the area. I wish we had more time to explore more of them.

Wonderful spot but we didn’t have a car and walking to town was impossible due to the narrow road. The welcome basket on arrival was a lovely surprise and the host was very welcoming and helpful. I would certainly return there one day… with a car

Ireland - Country stay
We had an awesome time staying in the hen house which offers a master bedroom upstairs and two twin beds downstairs. A jive size until for a family of four. Every morning our pasture view has cows or goats. My daughter had an opportunity to feed them and there were two goats in particular that came running to us when they saw us. This is an awesome location which is a 30 minute bus ride to Dublin and only 8 minutes to food shopping and restaurants. There is also “GO GYM” that is four minutes down the road. I would highly recommend a rental car which we had. This gave us an opportunity to drive to Wicklow and enjoy the park as well as drive into town where you can park your car for th e day than take the bus into Dublin. Make sure you get the Leap card for the bus and you will save 30%. The cost was $3.35 one way from Ashborne to Dublin. Get off at O’Connell Street. The return bus is a little tricky as it is in an out of the way location but a short 6 minute walk. We could not have asked for better hosts and truly enjoyed our stay.
