Farmstay vacation rentals in County Meath

The kids say this is the BEST Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in (we have over 25+ stays). If you are interested in a true Irish farm experience, this is the place for you. Over the course of 4 days we rode horses, shot clay pigeons, watched the sheepdogs work, walked the estate, did archery, sat by a blazing hot fire whilst having a good chat, and enjoyed learning about the history of the land- including ancient ring forts from over a thousand years ago. We have adopted Brian & his wonderful animals into the family, I think he’d claim us too. Things to remember- this is a working farm. You may encounter muck, dust, spiders but it is a functional space to lay your head at night after you’re exhausted from a day on the farm. Brian is responsible and available to help with anything you may need. I’d say this is the last of its kind in Ireland, enjoy it while you can.

This was one of our favorite airbnbs we’ve stayed at! It is a great space, Enda was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the location was excellent. We also really loved the company of the animals. We highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to return!

Arthur and Michelle’s place is a gem! So close to Newgrange and other historical sites. The bedroom was very comfortable and bathroom was great. The hosts are next level - even made sure to have lots of gluten free options for us in the morning. Both Arthur and Michelle are a wealth of information and great stories. Will for sure tell anyone I know visiting that area to stop in for a stay with them.

We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Farm Slane! The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Our dog, Zoe, had the best time exploring the wide, walkable spaces and taking in the beautiful sights. The atmosphere is serene, and it’s a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway—especially for those with pets who love the outdoors! We’ll definitely be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Castle Barmeath was an incredible Airbnb experience. Lord & Lady Bellew showed us around their 400 Year old Castle which has remained in their family all this time. I’m just amazed at how history one place can hold. There was about 300 acres surrounded by stone walls. Trails trough a gorgeously manicured forest with many trails leading to secrete walled gardens full of fruit trees and flowers. There was even a natural swimming pool and stone bridge over a lake. I feel so lucky to have gotten to experience something so grand and magical!

Great place to stay if you're going to a wedding in Cabra Castle. Rustic farmhouse that for the seven of us provided the perfect place to socialise and relax before and after our event. Peter was the perfect host!

Wonderful property, very spacious and comfortable. Well situated for a family wedding in Slane then Tankardstown house, would definitely stay again! Carina was very helpful and easy to communicate with for booking the hot tub and arranging check in

Definitely a nice place to call home while you’re on travel PATRICK and Thandi, are Great and their parents are equally fabulous! The view out the kitchen window was terrific and seemed to go on forever. Close to the city yet you feel like you’re in the middle of the country! The sound of the birds, singing in the morning was probably my favorite part of staying here. The kitchen had exactly what I needed to make breakfast and dinner while we were there. The beds were absolutely the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in peaceful and Private. Definitely a place I would stay again. I highly recommend this space having two master bedrooms was definitely a plus! PATRICK, Thandi and his parents go above and beyond to make you feel at home and make you feel like family and at the same time give you all the privacy you could possibly need❣️

we had a lovely stay in Linda's home. The house was huge, so much space inside and out which we really enjoyed. We enjoyed the outside decking and snooker room. Linda welcomed us and we enjoyed the drinks and eggs she provided. great for a group, we will be back.

We had such a wonderful stay at Gary’s. The surrounding area was very pretty and private. The outdoor hot tub was the highlight of our evening. Gary gave a link for places of interest to visit which was a nice touch. The cabin was so comfy and perfect for two people. The local town is just 5 minutes drive so you can stock up on anything you may need or get some food there. Again had a lovely time and highly recommend it 👍

Cute little cottage on a farm close to Mullingar. Olga and her family were very accommodating and helpful during our time there. When we needed help personally they were eager to assist and were happy to show our 1 year old around the farm. If you need a break in the quiet Irish countryside, can definitely recommend Olga’s cottage.

Emma was extremely helpful with everything we needed; from helping us get to places to being extremely communicative. Emma was so nice and down to earth and made our stay amazing; my friend and I said that we felt like we were visiting family. The place itself was great, super comfortable and stocked with food, and had such beautiful scenery/greenery. I would 100% stay here again and would recommend it to anyone else planning to stay in this area.

Stayed here for 1 night and i would highly recommend it , place was spotless and the instructions to check yourself in were very well explained , through my own fault i didnt get the hot tub working and contacted the hosts and they popped around at the drop of a hat to sort the issue, great spot

We stayed in the Herdsmans Cottage for our wedding weekend. It was so beautiful and it felt like we were staying in a grandparents beautiful country cottage. So much thought and consideration was put into the decor of every room. We are so appreciative of our hosts. It felt very special. Thank you.

The location and the house were idyllic. The decor is perfect for the age of the house. Perfect to access Dublin but was also a good base for other day trips like Waterford (2hrs), Blarney castle and stone (3hrs) and the Cliffs of Moher (3.5hrs). Lots of really cool local places too Skerries Mills (30 mins), New Grange (30 mins), Battle of Boyne Museum (30 mins) and Hill of Tara (30 mins). Very good local restaurants. Serena is an extremely good host and responds to text quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Mickey, was a real gentleman, very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. When we arrived Mickey had the makings of a fry, and sandwich ingredients as well as cake and biscuits. He went to great trouble to source local taxi numbers and even dropped us to where we wanted to go on one occasion. He was very helpful without being intrusive. We will definitely be back again.

Great place. Home from home

Stay here every year, always welcoming and no problems at all. Lovely area and clean and tidy definitely would recommend

I stayed at Carmel's place a few years ago and have often wanted to return. This time we stayed at Carmel's place with a large group of mums and our kids. We had wonderful time and would love to give even more stars as Carmel and Fintan went above and beyond anything expected from and air BnB host. The location was great in a rural setting and safe and secure so we felt our kids were safe running around. The cleanliness and facilities were second to none and their were so many extra personal touches that made our stay so comfortable including taking into account food preferences for breakfast and leaving us some lovely treats. Some quotes from the other mums show how pleased we really were: Carmel was so thoughtful. When they saw how many kids there were they power washed and sanitised some extra toys for them to play with which was a nice touch. Carmel went above and beyond with the extras (toiletries, slippers, dressing gowns, breakfast, treats), we really weren't expecting that. And she seemed happy to host a load of children which lots of places are not. Absolutely the best air BnB I’ve stayed in for all the little extras, the pony rides were fantastic….the slippers & toiletries etc. It was a great space for kids & families. I didn’t feel worried about letting the kids roam for a bit… The super stocked fridge 👍🏼 the electric front gate made it feel safe as well and the ground level trampoline was a major hit with all 😁

We had a great time at the Hayloft. Our three year old son loved the open architecture and the spiral staircase to the top bunk. Everything was very clean and Larissa gave perfect instructions for check-in. The farmhouse atmosphere is great and you can be in Dublin or Newgrange in about half an hour. Brochures for excursions in the area were also on site. The little farm store, which is open at weekends, was also very charming. We were also very pleased with the small welcome gift and would have liked to stay longer. For us a 5-star plus experience, which we would gladly repeat.

wow - what a place! We loved it, there was plenty to keep the kids entertained and the home so very cosy and welcoming. A beautiful place, great accommodation, great location and wonderful hosts - the flexibility at a difficult time for us was so very appreciated! My family & I cannot wait to return!

Mary was a lovely host. She gave us a tour of the farm when we arrived and was always looking to help. Accommodation was perfect, less than 10 minutes from trim.

Beautiful home located in a peaceful, country side setting. Great amenities and well provisioned. Just as described! We had a great time with our family and really enjoyed visiting the smaller towns around the area. Thanks Saskia for great stay!
