Rossnaree House

The grounds are spectacular, and the house itself is stunning. We had a fantastic weekend at Rossnaree House, with ages in our group ranging from 13 to 70, and everyone gave it five stars. Our lovely host Aisling arranged for us to use the pizza oven and BBQ pit, which made an already great weekend even better. Thank you, Aisling.

Aisling was gracious and nearby whenever we needed something, while giving us plenty of space. We spent a long weekend at this fabulous house, with a little touch of Downton Abbey about it. The grounds are just as impressive, from the pizza stove tucked away in the forest to the BBQ pit out back, and those views too. We’re all looking forward to coming back to this slice of heaven.

The candle-lit breakfast was fantastic, fresh and tasty, and Aisling and her helpers made us feel completely at home. Four of us stayed for two nights and loved the beautiful, atmospheric house and gardens. Every so often a parade of geese passed by against the lovely countryside backdrop. It was all very relaxing, and a real credit to owner Aisling. Thanks again, and hopefully we can visit soon. John and Kieran, Ranelagh, Dublin.

The views from the house are breathtaking, and Slane and Donore are only a short drive away. We’ve just had an idyllic weekend in this early 18th-century historic house, which is full of Irish history, art, sculpture, family heirlooms, and antiques. It’s a genuinely historic building where families have lived for hundreds of years. Inside, it was cosy and warm, with welcoming log fires in both the drawing and dining rooms, and breakfast was fine dining at its best. The proprietress lives on the property and is an absolute gem. She went above and beyond to welcome us and patiently answered my endless questions about her great-grandmother Maud Gonne with real generosity of spirit.
