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.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Beautiful property! John and Rochelle were wonderful hosts. The location was perfect for us. Close to downtown Dublin and the airport. We loved exploring the city during the day and then coming home to the cozy cottage at the end of the day. We would highly recommend this property for your stay.

Beautiful Quiet Setting.

We had a great time at Ryan’s cottage. It is beautifully situated on a country estate. The cottage had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The town of Ashbourne is lovely and Dublin was only a 30 minute bus ride away. The Ryan’s went out of there way to makes us feel at home. Would highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to visit Ireland

Quiet Country Cottage

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.

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!

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!!

Wonderful

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.

Wonderful little cottage!

We had an amazing stay in this gorgeous contribute cottage! It was a perfect size for our family of 5 and had all the amenities we needed. The cottage is in the backyard of the owners property. They have a stunning home and land and the cottage was very peaceful. The owners, John and Richelle, were very friendly and helped us with any needs. We had a problem with the hot water system and they fixed it immediately so we weren’t impacted. The family dogs were also very friendly and made us feel like we were at home. We would definitely stay here again. My only criticism is there maybe needs to be more info about how to use washing machine etc… us Aussies didn’t know how to use one of the combo washer dryers they have in the UK so we struggled to get it to work. I’m sure we could have asked for help, but a manual or instructions would have been simpler.
