Property Overview

Luxury country accommodation set on a small working farm outside the village of Kilcock, County Kildare, just 35 minutes from Dublin Airport and well connected to Dublin city centre by train and bus services.

The location is ideal: not too far from the city and yet close to world-class golf clubs, race-courses, historic sites, great houses, peat bogs, woodland and canals and only a short distance from spectacular mountain scenery.

This unique venue is available for entertaining your most important clients and contacts, and for staging meetings and small conferences but is also ideal for short/long term exclusive hire.

Originally an entirely wooden structure, the Barn has been converted into a spacious and luxurious country house using some of the original timbers as features.

The bright hallway leads into the comfortable sitting room with its big welcoming fire-place, and there are French doors that open onto the patio area. This is a great sun-trap all year round and, from here you can wander through the herb and vegetable garden. The Long Table in the dining area encourages conversation and debate, and there are six bedrooms, all en-suite. Each bedroom is named after one of our beloved ponies, and, just like them, each has its own very individual character.

The building bears witness to its owners' love of everything natural and organic. The farm animals will greet you in the morning and the bright, airy rooms and welcoming ambiance will ensure your stay is comfortable and cosy.

All materials, from stonework to wooden beams, have been sourced from local suppliers and have been hand-crafted and put in place by local craftsmen.

A restaurant recommended by “Taste of Ireland", proximity to a wide range of golf courses and historic sites and easy access to the buzz of Ireland's capital city make it the perfect getaway location.

Leading international photographer, Tony Parkes, and his wife Louise who is a writer, offer the warmest welcome to their “home from home".

Photography and Writing workshops packages available.

"Beautiful house with all the modern conveniences and tremendous charm"
We loved everything about our stay here. Tony and Louise are absolutely delightful, as are all of their animals. The house is so comfortable and clean, airy and spacious and the farm is beautiful. We can’t wait to go back!

"Wonderful and cozy place to stay"
We loved our stay at the barn! Tony and Louise were so welcoming and friendly and they made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The barn is comfortable, clean, and relaxing. We spent hours by the fire, reading and relaxing. Our twin toddlers loved seeing all the farm animals! Tony also had eggs, milk, OJ, and a few other essentials for us when we arrived. If you are looking for a comfortable cozy place to stay, this is definitely a great choice!

The barn was beautiful sms perfect for our large group of 10 adults and 2 kids under 2. The place is peaceful but only 30 minutes from Dublin! We could have stayed a few days just at the house and been very happy. The animals were great for the kids and Anne was super helpful and accommodating! Hopefully we get to plan another trip and this Boise will definitely be on our list!

We truly had a lovely stay at the Barn. It was perfect for hosting a large family group and we were given all of the essentials for our visit. The farm atmosphere was very peaceful and charming, and the animals were enjoyable to watch. Tony was extremely friendly and helpful and we were lucky to have such a charismatic host. The Barn itself wad gorgeous and had so much character. We all hope to return to the Barn in the future!

Tony is a wonderful host and his property is incredible. The design of the house has a wonderful and spacious charm which easily accommodated 7 of us. It was difficult to leave and although this time was a business trip I will be sure to come back with the family. I can also highly recommend Lucy (the chef recommended by Tony) who cooked us an incredible meal and was a pleasure to interact with. Thank you Tony!
