The Cowshed - Duffys Ballybin

Laundry on site, easy to travel around from the location, fantastic hosts and employee(kind, attentive, flexible, problem solvers), quiet but close to town, relaxing and plenty of parking.

Great location, easy to get to Dublin airport, loved the walking paths. Perfect size for my family of four.

Great place to stay. It was great to walk through their forest on the property. Eva was very friendly on our arrival and so was the farm cat that my girls loved. Very clean. We enjoyed our two nights there.

We loved staying at Duffy's! We were here for ten days. It was a great homebase for travel around Ireland. We visited Dublin 3 days, which was a quick drive although we found the 103 bus also easy to navigate if you don't want to drive. We also did day trips to the West Coast and to Belfast. Our hosts were fantastic--Eve welcomed us on our first day and gave us many tips. They responded to our bevy of questions and came by to say goodbye as well. It was fun to be surrounded by animals in a farm setting, but also very close to Ashbourne if we needed anything. Kitty came to visit us several times. As others have noted they provided scones, milk, orange juice and tea on arrival with the good Irish butter. I did walk through Ballybin forest one afternoon when we were doing laundry, which was also easy to manage. I highly recommend this spot!

Enjoyed how this was country but so close to local amenities. Check in was easy and appreciate the use or washer and dryer.

Nice quiet location and friendly host. Apartment was very clean and comfortable. Really appreciated having a washer and dryer!

Thank you. Eva was very nice and helpful.

The hosts were very gracious and or little one enjoyed walking around the woods and getting to see a few animals. Very nice that they had a travel crib and a highchair for us to use. Ashebourne had a surprising amount of restaurants for takeout and easy access to Dublin/the airport with a rental car.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage — it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The location was perfect: surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet with quiet, traffic-free roads that made getting to our daily destinations easy and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

We loved everything about our stay here and will definitely be back next time we are in Dublin. So close to the city but far enough out to feel years away from the hustle and bustle.

Great location peaceful and friendly Very convenient to Ashbourne and shopping and restaurants

The Cow Shed was perfect for two couples. Loved the forest paths Eva was right there if we needed any advice. Great spot
