Sexton’s Lodge is a unique house in the centre of the beautiful Georgian town of Birr. The lodge was originally built c.1830 to house the Sexton of Saint Brendan's Church (Church of Ireland).
The house is enhanced by its beautiful setting of Oxmantown Mall and it is a notable element within the tree-lined avenue. On one end of the mall is the entrance gates of the acclaimed Birr Castle and the other, St. Brendan’s Church (Church of Ireland).
The house itself has been carefully and tastefully restored to the highest standard. Accommodation includes 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large open plan living, dining and kitchen opening to a large elegant lounge. There is also a well equipped laundry. It is furnished with both antique and contemporary furniture and a separate courtyard with walled garden completes the picture.
This is a great place to use as a base if you if you plan to tour Ireland.

Over the summer, five of my girlfriends and I took a 3 week vacation to Ireland. We could not have picked a better place to stay! The home is beautifully decorated, very roomy inside, yet still made you feel like you were in your own home. It is 30 seconds walking distance from just about everything you'll need: grocery store, church, main street stores, pubs and eateries. Not to mention the bus stop! The nice thing about this location is Birr is literally the center of Ireland. This makes it so easy to explore all of Ireland whether you have a car or are traveling by bus. We took so many day trips which was nice because at the end of the day you are able to unwind in this comfortable home. We will definitely be back to stay in this lovely home and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a trip to Ireland!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We stayed there for three weeks in May/June of 2012 and it made our holiday. The house is beautifully decorated, extremely cozy and comfortable. We did a lot of our own cooking and the kitchen was fully equipped for all our meals. It is within a short walking distance to shops, entertainment, dining, and the Birr Castle. The house is a great location for day trips around ireland whether you have a car or are using the buses/trains. We will definitely use this house again when we return to Ireland. I have already and would highly recommend this holiday home to anyone who is planning a trip to ireland.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Wonderful place to stay and do day trips from, or just enjoy the local area, wish we had stayed for two weeks instead of just one. Beautiful home away from home. Thanks again, it was a highlight of our 3 week vacation. Would definitely rent it again.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car.
