we had a lovely stay in Birr- the house is about 10 minutes from Birr Castle, so it is in the country, but if you're looking for a nice relaxing stay, it is perfect. The house has everything needed for the 3 day stay. Check-in was easy, the beds were comfy, the WiFi worked perfectly - I have nothing bad to say whatsoever! would 100% recommend, and I would go back in the morning.
