I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Ballindrum Farm. My room was clean, nicely decorated, and had a beautiful view. Mary (the owner) was very welcoming and even drove me to town because I didn't have a car. To top it off, guests are allowed to watch the cows being milked every day from a viewing gallery (yes, Ballindrum is also a working dairy farm). I highly recommend it.

Ballindrum Farm was a peaceful oasis in a beautiful part of Kildare. Convenient for Kildare, Newbridge and the various motorways to Dublin, as well as south and west Ireland. Despite being a working farm it is exceedingly quiet. Mary, the lady of the farm, is tireless to ensure everything is just right. Breakfast can be anything you wish and lots of it. Most enjoyable, very comfortable, and highly recommended.

A nice rural setting yet a short drive to restaurant & bank. The breakfast was the best in our 2 week stay in Ireland, and the owner"s were very hospitable.

Quiet and lovely clean house with close access to the fwy but far enough to feel in the country. Mary was lovely and to say she went above and beyond in the kitchen is an understatement!!! Her breakfasts were absolutely delicious! It was fun to walk around to see the animals with our little one!

Excellent B&B in peaceful rural setting but very handy to Athy and surrounding area. Mary was very welcoming and accommodating. Perfect place to stay for Triathy. Mary rose earlier than usual to make breakfast before the race. Nice cup of tea and scones on arrival. Highly recommended!

Enjoyable Stay
My family and I stayed the night here after a family wedding. We were kindly greeted and after being shown to our room and provided with a travel cot, we were offered delicious refreshments and made to feel at home. The farm was very comfortable and warm, very clean and tidy and breakfast was wonderful. Would highly recommend staying here and the area is lovely and quiet with a short distance to town.
