My family and I stayed at Rathgillen Farm in the mews the week of October 15th. I cannot begin to express how impressed we were! The countryside in Ireland and the area of Rathgillen Farm is a must see. It is an amazing way to experience Ireland. It is within an hours drive of Dublin to where you can explore the city and then return to your peaceful retreat to regroup. It was beyond refreshing to wake up each morning to the amazing views and to the smile of beautiful farm dog or a humorous/delightful host checking on us. My family and I got to experience an even better view within the week when Peter gave us a tour of the farm with a gorgeous view from the top of the hill. Peter is full of the knowledge of the farm and the area around. If you have questions, ask Peter because he will certainly know and be glad to tell you! Something that was even more refreshing than the countryside was Peter himself. Since day one of our visit, Peter greeted us with a grand sense of humor to go with his amazing skills as a host. Peter would check on us each day to make sure everything was up to par, he would share with us places of interest, and best of all just share time with us which we loved. We truly enjoyed hearing stories, sharing laughs, and learning new things from him. If you aren't one to spend time with BnB host, I would hope you would go out of your comfort zone and get to know Peter. He is by far one of a kind and made the stay beyond wonderful! Between him and his lovely farm dog, Lucky our trip was lovely! I could truly write a book about how amazing our stay was. It's not just me who feels this way, please go back and read all the other lovely reviews about Peter, Lucky, and the area! We are so glad we read reviews and then realized it was even more wonderful than what people had written. If you want a cost-effective place, a truly picturesque view, a friendly dog to share time with, and a beyond amazing host..choose Rathgillen Farm!
