Kilbeggan · 农家乐 · 2室4床1.0卫 · 可住4人 · Forest Eco Retreat in Ireland's Heartland
Flood your senses with sounds and sights of nature when you stay at our unique home . Only minutes from N52, M4/M6 Motorway, town, shops and pubs, it is ideally central to enjoy exploring Ireland. This forest hideaway is a haven of wildlife and woodland walkways to explore. Enjoy the tranquility of this secluded gem with luxurious cotton sheets and towels and bio-organic toiletries, showering in rainwater heated by the sun and flushing your cares away to our Eco-Wetlands. Come relax and unwind. Robert and I are delighted to welcome to our home, which is built within a 45 acre site, of which 38 acres is a forest farm. We have many trees, mostly native species, both mature and young. The house is two story and we offer the upper floor to our guests with their own private entrance. The upstairs living space consists of a kitchenette, a large livingroom/eating /working/ area and two bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a King double bed and bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds. There is 1 bathroom with a shower, toilet and hand basin. The kitchenette is equiped with undercounter fridge, sink, kettle, toaster, microwave, double airfryer and a single hot plate for cooking. The living space has a door to make it fully separate from the kitchenette space. Robert and I like our guests to feel well cared for and always offer a welcome basket with some basic food necessities and a few local treats. We also supply high quality cotton bedlinen and towels as well as bio-organic soaps, shampoo, toothpastes etc. Our waste system is an Integrated Wetland and we do not use any harsh chemicals, but natural cleaning and disinfecting agents that leave the house clean, fresh and germ free. We ask our guests to please use our natural, bio-degradable products during their stay with us. We aim, over time, to be as self-sufficient as we can be, while leaving as small a footprint as possible on the land and we invite our guests to join us in this endeavour. At present all our water is rainwater harvested, fully filtered and potable. We use it for drinking, cooking, bathing etc. We harvest electricity through our photovoltaic panels and where possible store the excess to heat water and for other electricity requirements. Our property is completely private and not overlooked by anyone. We are accessed by a little used public road that becomes a right-of-way. We are at the end of this 1.6km (1 mile) road. We regret that, due to the flammability hazard of our forestry, we do not allow smoking anywhere on our property. We also do not allow vaping anywhere indoors. We hope you enjoy visiting our little slice of paradise.
We had a wonderful stay in Anne and Robert's apartment. Everything was perfect. We felt really welcome and would love to stay again.
Beautiful place, very clean, tastefully and considerately decorated, very comfortable and in a peaceful location. Anne and Robert became friends by the time we left. They were extremely warm and helpful, and live consciously and with love and respect for the surrounding land. It felt like a spiritual retreat, we loved it and felt very grounded while we were there. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay somewhere quiet and a bit alternative. Thanks again.
Anne & Robert were a pleasure to deal with . They are both lovely people . The air bnb was amazing . I can’t fault it . Beautiful home with beautiful surroundings . Would definitely recommend !
Fantastic place to stay, I will be back for another visit for sure. Beautiful artwork and decor everywhere. Anne and Robert made everything easy and are just lovely people. ✌️🙂
As "blow-ins" to the town of Kilbeggan we are delighted to have been made welcome with warmth and friendliness by everyone we have encountered. We have found the people of the Midlands to be genuine and straight talking, with lots of interests and humour. There is always a great chat to be had at the local pubs and it can shift from sports to current affairs to world politics in a heartbeat, always accompanied by the famouse bit of good natured Irish banter.
Though, sadly no evening restaurants are located in the town, you can enjoy breakfast and/or lunch at 3 local coffee shops, the closest beside the Distillery over the river, another in Kilbeggan Square and the other at the Circle K Centra shop on the Tullamore road. All serve coffees, teas and homebaked goodies too.
For an evening meal there are Newforest Golf Club about 15 mins drive, Tyrrellspass Castle and Brown's on the Green in Tyrrellspass about 17 mins drive and numerous choices in Tullamore and Mullingar, both approx 20-25 mins away. Athlone's bohemian 'Latin Quarter' also has some delightful eating options and is about 30 mins drive.
As mentioned before, we are most easily accessible by car as we are only 3km from town. The nearest car rental hub is in Athlone, 30 mins drive away. Go Car may have vehicles available in Tullamore or Mullingar.
The Citylink Dublin to Galway Airport multistop bus service #763 stops in Kilbeggan about 8 times a day and is very convenient for getting to Dublin airport or Galway.
There are also train services from Tullamore, Mullingar and Clara Train stations, but these will require a local taxi to reach Kilbeggan.
The taxi service we use is based in Clara, an adjacent town and we find them extremely reliable and friendly. There is no taxi service that we can recommend in Kilbeggan. Uber is not available in Ireland, but some taxis are listed with the app but charge full taxi rates.
Bicycles are a good way to get around and we are very close to two major greenway cycleways, and about 25 mins from the Mullingar greenways which offer routes around the lakelands, the Shannon River and the Canal systems.
