Teeming with history and heritage, this converted farm building is a blissful location for a break for two surrounded by serene countryside yet 28 miles from Dublin. Just 8 miles from your doorstep are wonderful walking routes along the tranquil River Boyne, as well as at Newgrange World Heritage Site. Located in the Boyne Valley, the 5,000-year-old ancient temple of Newgrange boasts fascinating architecture, a fascinating walk and plenty of historic value. In the city of Dublin, you’ll find a plethora of exciting eateries and experiences, from a trip to the Guinness Storehouse to historic sightseeing tours with something to please a range of interests.

This property is enchanting from the moment you arrive with its unique style and dramatic features. Walk inside the living room/kitchen/diner and discover the warm wood and terracotta tiles contrasting against the grey exposed stone walls. Here, you’ll find a comfortable sofa where you can sprawl out in front of the fire, as well as a TV and DVD player for lazy film nights. Tucked beneath the staircase is the kitchen nook which is small yet perfectly formed ensuring you can whip up a feast for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A steep wooden staircase leads up to the loft-style bedroom where golden hues illuminate the space for a restful night’s sleep. Furnished with a double bed, the space welcomes you in to relax and recuperate after a day of exploring.

Outside the barn is a pretty, partially enclosed shared garden with a table, chairs and BBQ for intimate evenings spent dining al fresco. There’s also a lush lawn surrounded by greenery which makes for a lovely picnic spot when the sun is shining.
