We had a comfortable and relaxing stay at the Quiet Country Cottage. The location was ideal for two days in Meath and two days in Dublin City. We had wonderful weather all four days and sat out on the back patio to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine and the peaceful yard one of the days.

The accommodation was located in a perfect spot for our day trips for our stay. Our hosts were fantastic. Finding parking is a bit of a challenge and the tips on a place to park to catch transit into Dublin was invaluable. Thank you again so much for the welcome basket, it was very much appreciated….

Lovely accommodation in amazing surroundings
We as a family stayed at this charming accommodation for a 3 night stay. The hosts Rochelle and John are lovely people and can not do enough for you. They left some very yummy items for us, which was a lovely surprise. They have two dogs (Bear and Millie) who are so friendly and cute. The accommodation is well equipped with everything you could possible need from toaster, air fryer to hairdryer etc. The bedrooms are a great size but please be careful if you are 6 foot plus as they have a sloped ceiling. Even though the accommodation is right next door to the hosts own home they give you total privacy The location is in a very quiet location just outside of Ashbourne and is only a 20 minute car journey from Dublin airport. There is a bus service from Ashbourne town centre that will take you in to Dublin City Centre as well as the surrounding areas. If you have your own transport you can also drive to the Red Cow Luas station where there are plenty of transport links. Overall our stay was charming and relaxing. We will 100% book this accommodation again if returning to Dublin for a break. Thank you to both Rochelle and John for the warm and friendly welcome.

Beautiful cottage in quiet location
This is a beautiful converted carriage house on the back of the owner's property. Its a little tricky to find it, but its worth the effort to get here. It is definitely quiet and serene, as advertised. The place is well appointed and was immaculately clean. That said, the furnishings are a bit oversized for a very cozy space, meaning it can be hard to move around, especially if you bring significant luggage or groceries. The family's dogs were often out in the yard, and my kids had a lot of fun petting and playing with them. If you are a dog person consider it a bonus! There is laundry on site, but you have to take it outside and around the house. The little back patio is quite lovely, though we didn't have occasion to enjoy it during our stay. John was a responsive host, but a bit more documentation and direction either available through the VRBO app or in a folder on the property would have made it easier to get settled on arrival.

Great flat!
We enjoyed our stay. The owners were very pleasant and we enjoyed our chats. We stayed here as a base for exploring a bit of Ireland. We were able to quickly get to Dublin and also explored Kilkinney and Wexham. The town of Ashbourne is very close and has great restaurants. Overall, a great place to stay and explore Ireland.

We enjoyed the property mainly for location and space. It was a great base camp for exploring the country. Easy to get to airport and downtown Dublin. Plenty of space for a family of 4. Hosts were great. Would highly recommend.

Perfect Irish Cottage
Amazing cottage and hosts! Great location for day trips. Coming back to the quiet of the cottage after a day of sightseeing was lovely. Plenty of room for 3 of us and amenities for the week. Unexpected extras were scones, bread, chocolate and wine waiting for us upon arrival. As well as some fridge items to start us off. Very kind and appreciated after a long flight. Our stay was everything we hoped for and more!

The property was amazing. Both the carriage house we stayed in and also the main house. Large yard. Two of the sweetest dogs. John and his wife were very welcoming to us when we arrived and let us know that if there was anything we needed to let them know. John got me a taxi cab to the Dublin train station at 6 AM. They were never intrusive. Overall, wonderful people and wonderful place.

Absolutely love this cottage!!
Perfectly positioned close to Dublin and attractions, but in the beautiful countryside. It was just spacious enough for our family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers. We were greeted with treats on the kitchen table and a few necessities in the fridge. John and Rachelle were the most gracious hosts and suggested wonderful sights for our 3 day stay. We were so exhausted from our daily outings that we didn't get a chance to enjoy the beautiful outdoor area, but it was available! Will absolutely be back!!

Petit logement très cosy
Le logement est propre et très accueillant. Il est très bien décoré. Les hôtes, John et Rachel sont très sympathiques et attentif à notre bien-être. l’emplacement est idéal pour visiter Dublin ou le bord de mer. Les chambres sont très confortables tout comme la literie de qualité. Le salon et la cuisine sont par contre un peu petits . Nous recommandons pleinement ce logement.
