The Ballard Farm was such a retreat for us. Conveniently located near Brittas Bay, the Wicklow Mountains, but tucked neatly away for you to lose yourself in the lovely gardens and farm atmosphere. The hosts thought of everything--even a birthday card for my husband--and were so welcoming and helpful. We really can't wait to come back. We brought our whole family, and they enjoyed rambling walks in the surrounding area. The homes had all of the amenities we needed, including lovely pups to pet daily. Lovely place and we cannot wait to return!
