A lovely family friendly house in the County Meath countryside close to Dublin
We look forward to treating your home with the same respect and attention as our own.
Welcome to our home - in the countryside but so central for a great trip in Ireland ! We live on a rural country road in a wonderfully friendly community. There is so much to see and do in our location! We live on a farm and have green fields surrounding us. Our home is less than an hours drive to Dublin city centre and also only 1.5 hours to Galway city which means that there are loads of amenities quite close by. It's a super location to explore a lot of our beautiful country! There is also a great public transport service (bus and train) from the nearest village of Enfield (5km away). Galway City is 1.5 hours away, Emerald Park is 35 minutes away, Trim Castle is 10km from us. Or if you just want to relax in the area, the Royal Canal Greenway (the longest off road greenway in Ireland) is within a 2km cycle from our house and is 130km in length. It's a fantastic amenity for anyone interested in cycling.
We have a large and homely 5 bedroom home and have 2 dogs, a cat and a pony but all can be cared for during your stay. Our house is child-friendly and we have bicycles, go kart, plenty of footballs, soccer goals.
We have a car that could potentially be part of the exchange.
We have wonderful neighbours who are always happy to help.

From the very start Carmen was helpful, friendly and great at answering all my questions! We instantly trusted her and knew that our home would be in good hands. Carmen and her family treated our home like it was their own and also took great care of our cat for us! Carmen & Igor's appartment is very comfortable, clean and is in a lovely quiet block. The surrounding area is really quaint and has a lot to offer. We visited lots of the local pools, undertook lovely walks, explored the stunning local towns and villages and enjoyed the beautiful wine from the region. Thank you to Carmen, Igor and family for a great first exchange!
It was a fabulous experience thanks to the surroundings, the landscape, and the tranquility of the place. Irene and her family are very kind and friendly. Their house is very comfortable, and we had a wonderful rest. Everything was perfect.
